Everyone on Steam who purchased No Rest for the Wicked before January 1st, 2027 will receive founders pack rewards, as a thank you for backing us through Early Access.
PlayStation pre-orders open in January 2027, so PlayStation players will get a chance to earn the Founder’s rewards at that time.
We will schedule a Wicked Inside for our players very soon. More on this on our socials.
## What changed
- **Character and Realm Rollback Recovery** — players affected by varying levels of rollbacks during server maintenance will have their characters and realms restored to their original state, but will receive duplicate copies that need to be manually deleted
- **Level 1 Character Rollback Fix** — the underlying data issue causing characters to reset to level 1 has been resolved, but affected players must use the **Moon Restore Tool** to manually restore their characters to their correct levels
## Bug Fixes
- **Realm and Character Restoration System** — characters and realms lost during maintenance are now recoverable, though players must identify and remove duplicates themselves
- **Character Level Regression** — characters that were incorrectly rolled back to level 1 can now be restored using the provided **Moon Restore Tool** (download link provided)
## Overall
Server maintenance issues that caused missing realms and level 1 character rollbacks have been fixed, with affected players able to restore their progress through manual deletion of duplicates or by using the Moon Restore Tool.
The first case is for players that had varying levels of rollbacks to realms and characters (mostly for those who had missing realms that got fixed with the server maintenance). If you had this issue, you should now have your characters and realms back to where they were originally, however you will also have duplicate characters and realms from the restore. If you had this issue please review the duplicate realms and characters and delete the ones you don’t want to keep
The second case is for players who had characters that rolled back to level 1. The data that caused this issue to occur has been fixed, but it does require a few manual steps to restore your character: Download our Moon Restore Tool here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K8GtIaSjKb_gZPB5CZpdRNs3BNoXt_24/view?usp=drive_link
