Okay so after the 3 day rollback some people have lost stuff/unhappy about certain situations so my suggestion is a server wipe, this will be a one time thing. It normally takes months to get mods correctly onto a server without any misshaps, we did all this in a week which has caused some issues with transferring files accross to a live server. 

So here is the solution, please vote up or down. 

Vote up for wipe

Vote down for no further actions taken

DayZ devs wont be voting in this poll.

Just a comment to explain what happened & why:

What: World data (vehicles, bases, objects) were rolled back 3 days, player inventories remained untouched.

Why: The files from the DayZ server were cloned  Just before the 8PM update which included the mods, we ( @Bob Wilkinson @Roberts @Meeloo ) transferred the server files to the server with @Wilco from our Git repository. We had previously discovered that player data was stored in a file rather than an actual database, and removed this file from our local servers to prevent player inventories from being overwritten. Obviously we wiped our brow and moved on too early as world data was also stored in the same way. As we overlooked this, when we moved our files over to the server the up to date world data was overwritten with files from the 21st January, causing a 3 day rollback for everything but player inventories. I can confirm that this won't happen again, and we'll take more care in the future when transferring our changes.

 
The majority voted against a server wipe. If you have lost gear please provide evidence in a compensation request 

Moved to rejected
