As people logged onto the [[Jolt]] [[forums]], it quickly became apparent that almost everyone was experiencing these problems. There was widespread panic, with various threads posted by concerned players in the [http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1231 Moderation] and [http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1224 Technical] forums. These ranged from the relatively calm to the near hysterical, the latter mainly from players who feared their [[Nation|nations]] might be altogether lost. Rumours that NS had been [[wikipedia:Hacker|hacked]] were started, but largely - and rightly - quashed. Some feared that they had been [[DEAT]]ed for rules infractions. Every available medium was used by the [[Moderator]]s to inform people not to log into their nations. Aside from the forums, where an Announcement was made, these included messages in the topics of [[IRC]] channels such as [[#nationstates]] and threads on off-site forums of [[Region|regions]] and [[Alliance|alliances]]. ===NationStates Up=== By the following day, order had returned. It emerged that the problem was largely a rerun of a diskspace error that occurred earlier in the year. With the game finding itself running out of space, it had attempted to create new space by writing over existing accounts. Fortunately, [[SalusaSecondus]] was able to restore all but 3 nations. A backup had occurred shortly before the crash, meaning that little data was lost. [[SalusaSecondus]] also produced a news item announcing that the code would be changed to prevent similar problems occurring in the future. ===0 of 0=== The effect on the [[nation]]s effected by the error was the setting of nation name and pretitle to 0 - hence The 0 of 0. The description of 0 contained a bare minimum of information, with most customizable fields, such as national animal and currency set to '0'. 0 was classified as an 'Inoffensive Centrist Democracy', with [[UN]] [[Economic,_Political,_and_Civil_Rankings|rankings]] of 'Good' in all categories.
