FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

EDIT: As of 5 pm EST on 7/19/15, this problem appears to have ended.

Krondor, run by neoascetic as far as I know, seems to have a problem with rollbacks or something. Not quite sure why, but nothing you do on the server is permanent anymore, no matter where it is. This only started a couple of days ago that I noticed.
Stone columns, grown wheat, torches, chests, they all return after you dig them out, even in areas marked for you - after mere minutes; and especially after logging out, it all comes back. I've actually gotten several extra protection symbols with lots of crystals, just by taking them off my house and then later it's back on. Gonna have a LOT of wheat to bake if this keeps up! But I also cannot seem to plant more on empty cultivated ground.

At first I thought maybe it's because I was using the dev version, but it's happening on stable and dev, with both me and a friend. We can't plant wheat, we can't build new things or finish our houses. But anything you take away you get to keep - more stone, more dirt, more wheat, more mese crystal shards from taking down signs.

I really enjoyed my time on that server, but I can't stay there anymore unless this is fixed. -- Dusken

I had a problem just after starting on Krondor, my protection and a bunch of stuff I built got wiped out. Is it possible to make protection symbols on this server? The usual stone+silver for a protection block does not work...

jerrythecairn, Krondor uses a protection symbol made from 2 steel swords plus a mese crystal. I don't remember the exact arrangement of them on the crafting grid. After you make it, you need to "power" it by adding mese shards (1 crystal will create 9 shards). Each shard adds a days worth of protection.
Keep in mind that this protection area overrides locked chests. I.E., if you have a locked chest in your name in an unprotected area, it can be broken into by anyone who places a protection block over the area it is in.
