Micro just reminded me that TW actually does back up files prior to converting to the new version. It may be too late to help UTW, and there's no guarantee the data corruption, whatever it was, came out of the conversion process, but just in case, you can find the backed up files in the game's directory with the normal file name and extension based on the original data version (e.g. TWUSER.311 for updated user file from v3.11 to current version).

Seriously, Sage's last post on the Forumn was 2-13-2011. That's almost 5 months ago!!!

Where have you been for the past 5 months Sage?

or just tell us it's none of our business...

He probably lost his job and couldn't afford to keep the server for a while. That or health problems. Or maybe jail.

I know this server registration has changed hands a few times. It is hard to keep track of ;)

Exactly the point I was trying to make in my original post on the subject....lol The 'old sage' would ICQ out all his game info. The server codes could be retrieved by the owner and passed on, but I would hazard a guess that the ICQ #'s were personal and cant be obtained by the replacement.

Again, just my personal theory.

yeah.. as active as Sage was.. its hard to believe that you disappear for over 5 months without a word (also with UN popping in, making a comment then also disappearing) because of data corruption.

Well, they're both from the same area (Miami, Florida) and use the same ISP. Otherwise, who knows.

Its kinda like the old question... "how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop"

The world may never know.

I dont matter either way, I plan on playing there. I dont care who is running it as long as there is no hankie pankie going on...lol I just dont see the point in all the cloak and dagger. If its someone new, just say so...lol
