Zero Point is... toast

October 6, 2008 update: Sabine has been hard at work rebuilding Zero Point. Her permanent store is now open for business (teleport directly from here).

Sabine Stonebender has terrible news. This is Zero Point today...


You can read about Zero Point as it once was here

"I have a bit of bad news. Zero Point was destroyed this morning by a billing error bug that returned it all rather randomly. I will be able to rebuild but the old stuff is pretty much vapor," she said.

Early Thursday morning, Sabine had a huge return happen. She explained, "When I showed up, it was all gone. Not even one linden tree was left. Apparently there's a billing bug, and Zero's (Zero Medici is Sabine's sponsor) account was accidently set to "Purge" which liquidated his land, autoreturned all objects, and stuck it on the auction block."

"He's managed to get the land on the way back to his ownership, but I have to wait for him to set it all back up to group, etc.," she added.

Were things linked?
Sabine Stonebender: I have some backups of floor 1 and 2, but I think 3, the Dotz and the store are a total loss. I'm thinking a total rebuild is in order.

And Vomit Comet?
Sabine Stonebender: Toast. I might be able to salvage sections, but the floor is in fragments.

The throne?
Sabine Stonebender: The throne is okies; it was linked.

What will you do?
Sabine Stonebender: Zero Point will be back, but not the same.

How are you?
Sabine Stonebender: Kinda pissed, kinda numb, but at least I found out the 'why.' I'm pretty much facing about three months of rebuild. Biggest downside is that my store is gone, which is one of my sole sources of income.


I will be posting the slurl for Sabine's temporary store as soon as I have it.
