[snip] but if you were not aware before, there are set timers (1HR) on scrolls once you pick them up. If not placed into a keep/temple it will reset to the alliance that last owned it.

He isnt trolling, scrolls actually reset due to server crash

We had a real rollback there... or actually two, one after one.
Very impressed from my first day at Trueflame, I have to say. (NOT!!!)
Seriously, I heard this is ongoing since Beta? WHAT? Are you kidding me???!! You want to tell me, that ZOS failed to built up more server capacity since 3 years? When the servers of a game are so incredibly bad that they start to rollback, it is usually a sign for me, that the owner does not care of anything other than money. Here I would say ZOS does not care about PvP-players... It would not hurt me, if my friend who recommended me the game, was not such a PvP-Player and is planning to abandon ESO until it gets better... so forever it seems.

Ps. Give me a free campaign-change again, I want to go back zo Azura.

and to add something more to give ZOS a REASON to have a seious look into this.

I personally believe that theres ppl who found a way to force mass dc´s and therefore a server rollback with the scrolls reset to their former places / or temples. I´ve experienced alot of those situations in the course of playing and its...smelly...when such things happen in the right moment. In most cases its not that all stolen scrolls reset to their temples, but only one faction. If the server would crash " normally" and resets stuff, it should be so equally for all. But it doesn´t - and thats why i come up with the theory of someone able to force the crash.
PLZ HAVE A LOOK INTO THIS

Oh my god, so it were probably cheater from our faction (AD) which caused this?
Because we were in fact the ones profiting from that. Im feeling bad right now, because I dont want to play in a faction who cheats (even when a lot of players on our side dont know this... my guild actually thinks that this is just bad luck for the enemy fraction).
I know cheaters are a very big problem in video games because the cheats are mostly hidden but to rollback a server by cheating (or more like hacking) is a whole new level because they are literally attacking ZOS' property, or do I get that wrong?
How can it not be a company's most urgent issue to fix such a problem??

I hope not because thats horribly scrubby if thats the case. (the AD)

its a fact, that the 2 blue scrolls were in ad possession, and we just were on the way back with one red scroll. After the crash/ rollback, the 2 blue scrolls were back in their temples, the red one ( we carried) back in the AD keep we took it from.
I cant say if its possible to actually force a server crash incl. a rollback somehow ( lately after homestead we have a lot of crash issues). BUT, if there is a rollback from server side - why is it not like all scrolls go to their temples - or stay were they were last. its always some go back to temples , some go back to last spot. THAT makes me worry that smth more is going on, and i would very much like a statement on rollback issues / mechanics from ZOS.
