There's a fascinating set of posts as a result of a horribly botched code deploy on the "Knighthood" Facebook app. I'd direct you to the relevant threads but I can't remember whether the Hive7 forums want you to supply a login and password above and beyond the Facebook credentials.
(And if you don't have a Facebook account then I'm all the more certain you wouldn't be able to read the threads.)
But anyway, some people who feel wronged (and I can't blame them) are screaming their heads off for a rollback, other people are trolling them, it's a mess.
As a quasi-computer geek (moreso a process geek) I'm transfixed by the ineptness of the Hive7 response. But I'm also transfixed by the idea that some of these aggrieved people spent so much of their time on this game.
(Now in general I'm a game person, an easily obsessed person, etc., so you wouldn't think I'd be in a position to talk -- but my goodness, so much emotional investment is evident in these threads.)
