Greetings,

I represent probably 90% of the clan community in my words, and I'd like to know "wtf" happened? You pretty much, as far as I can tell, wiped out the ENTIRE clan database, which had all information for clan members, chieftains, length of time (of existance), etc.

Its very sad to see a world class company such as Blizzard make this kind of mistake, and yet not have a remedy in place/expected/etc. for it. You should be able to revert back the clan database, as I know you probably can, so please do.

I'm guessing it MAY be in anticipation of connecting 2.0 and 1.0 clans together, which would be fantastic, but its still important not to lose the existing community. Last time this happened, you added Warcraft 3 clans, and left everyone that was using the old system to hope the "Op" system was good enough.

Please repair this. There are already "Squatters" that have taken refuge in other clan's channels and of course, this will cause resentment towards Blizzard, Battle.net, and other parts of the community should it not be remedied. I did manage to get MY channel re-created, which is great, but it doesn't really help those that already got, well "screwed".

Please either reply to my post, let us know if you're actually going to try to fix this, or if we need to start trying to take our channels back by force from those that took them unfairly.

Best Regards,
Concerned Battle.net Citizen

They wont do jack. It's a new mother fing feature, delete clans that are 6 years old and have a multi-realm community!

It's the way Blizzard has always #*!#ed users over before, they want us to go to new games, so the #*!# the old games. THEY ALWAYS DID THIS BULL@%%*.

yep, incompetent

Same here. Had my clan since '04, come home from work to find out someone made it..

Come on blizzard... Seriously?

Having the same problem here with Clan OD, we can't even remake it because someone got it before us. We had the channel for years and it was disbanded without any warnings. I hope you can revert this as soon as possible.

Reminds me of the time they wiped out all the lifetime statistics in TFT, except won/loss, by "accident" TWICE!

Since the response is in this thread, does that imply that you recognize the clan deletion as a problem, or the several issues that were created? The ladder is largely inhabited by inactive accounts that simply serve as placeholders and do not decay or lose experience, so people that haven't played since the reset are being rewarded with the top ladder ranks. Is this being looked into as well?

Q u o t e:
We appreciate everyone's patience.

People here complain, call Blizzard incompetent, allege ulterior motives, TC even wants to take own "actions" and you appreciate the patience ~.~ that is not signalizing you would listen to the community.

---

Q u o t e:
We appreciate everyone's patience. We're in the process of working through the potential solutions we have available to us at this point, and determining what course of action to take. I don't have any concrete updates for you right now, but we wanted to let everyone know we are aware, we're looking into it, and hope to have a concrete plan of action to communicate as soon as possible.

Translation - We don't give a $hit about WC3. Please come play our cash cow WOW.

WC3 game search times extremely long - same old maps to play, clans wiped out...may as well pull the plug on the server at this point Blizzard.

I cannot even get into my clan it says its restricted ....... what's the go battlenet?

because your clan doesn't exist anymore.

Are you going to remove all of the inactive accounts from the ladder where they occupy most of the top 100?

Q u o t e:
We’ll be performing an approximate six hour maintenance on the USEast/Azeroth realm to rollback Warcraft III clan data to their pre-migration settings. This means that all clans will be set back to their original standing from June 20. No other games or data should be impacted as this rollback is specifically targeted to reset Warcraft III clans.

Maintenance will begin tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. PDT/12:00 p.m. EDT, July 3, and is scheduled to conclude no later than 3:00 p.m. PDT/6:00 p.m. EDT the same day.

Thank you for destroying the new clan I worked so hard on. The forum I made for the clan will now be wasted!!! That clan that I made to replace the one your screw up destroyed surpassed my former clan in every way!!! Please restore my new clan that replaced my old one.
New = Clan MiB
Old = Clan RSS

EDIT: The guy who had Clan MiB before us just filled it with bots, it was a waste...

Just do it again? The work is still fresh. There is no need to waste your forum. If you cannot even repeat the process, the clan had no long-term value anyway.

Greetings Bashiok and the rest of the legacy support crew,

I'm extremely disappointed in this rollback. After dealing with this mistake, having my clan stolen, waiting over 2 weeks and then finally having the issue fixed. I check my computer this morning after getting my clan back last night, only to find that you've undone the fix and my clan is now back under the control of a thief (the same person/persons who stole clan OD fyi, I won't get into specifics publicly)

this needs to be fixed (again...) asap.

if it cannot simply be transferred back to me, coordinate with me and delete/ban the clan and I'll remake it.

If you feel like cleaning up b.net even more: cross reference the keys used to create chx + od after the migration. They're all from the public keylist of a warbot (once again, not getting into specifics publicly)

-regards,
ChX-Bryan and the rest of the Clan ChX Staff.

The fix was undone because of further complications. They try to deal with it already. Accusing others of theft is somewhat difficult and Blizzard does not even care for the general public. How can you even steal a clan? The only thing that you cannot manually revert are ladder stats. Otherwise, the clan can just be recreated under a new name and you tell the members.

I can't do it again because before all the clans were wiped clean, a guy before us had it filled mostly with bots. Majority of the current clan members came from the old clan(and friends who were in other clans), but the old clan tag has too much baggage and we would like to move on from it. The new one is fresh and appropriate to what games we play, I could easily make another clan, but would it be the same? No.

June 20th? You do realize you deleted clans before that when you first did the maintenance for new hardware right?

I've had Clan Doom since '04, its quite a shame to lose our clan when it wasn't us who caused it.
(not to mention the people who stole it are not the most friendly folk)

It even says I'm still in Doom here on the forums but not on the wc3 ladder... :'(

Is there going to be a fix sometime for us?! Any help would be nice.. :(
