We will be sending an update email to all the Alpha testers tomorrow with links to download the current version of the client as well as server hours.I hope that "tomorrow" is a mistake...
I was about to post the same thing...
My guess is that it was written yesterday, but they didn't have enough time to push it out.
My guess as well.

We will be sending an update email to all the Alpha testers today (Thursday) with links to download the current version of the client as well as server hours.
Nice fix. :)
Nearly completely unrelated, was there a wipe at all? If not, will my character Kitsune still be bugged (he would partially reset every time I logged on/off, similar to the bug we had last Thursday)?

This week the servers will be on line from 3pm (Pacific) to 6am (Pacific) Thursday and Friday. If we elect to extend into the weekend we'll make that announcement on Friday.
For those of us who missed the opportunity for the extended Alpha time during PaizoCon, I really hope you decide to extend it through the weekend.
Of course, if you don't, I might actually get something else useful accomplished :)

... I do not think the server was wiped.
I've got hopes that Zog (all hail Zog) will be forgiving of my repeated Bonnie-slaying and allow me to make permanent progress. Perhaps his 4-day nap between Monday and today will put him in a better mood towards my character.
Otherwise, the constant resetting is an interesting way to try different builds with tons of XP to blow, get refunded, and then blow again. If that happens, I'll have to work with Nihimon and other documentors to test different builds. ;)
(But I really would like the ability to log off/on and not lose all my achievements/feats... I'll report back about this tonight.)

I would suggest that if you have a character that loses XP or items when you log out and back in, you should delete that character and start a new one. There may be some cruft in the system that won't get fixed on older characters.
If a particular guard hates you (because you attacked him) ... they never forgive or forget. So if you're in that condition, you probably want to make a new character. If they just are generally mad at you because you've attacked other characters, your Rep will regenerate as long as you're logged in.
Alternatively, if your Rep is high but there's a single guard that hates you, you can just use other settlements or try to avoid that one guard. Keeps things interesting. Hey, death is pretty cheap right now. ;D

Tried: uninstalling, clearing registry entries, downloading client again, and re-installing. No matter what I do, I can't make any progress past a logoff/logon, and I can't even delete a character.
Well, hopefully it can be fixed sometime tomorrow. It seems Cheatle's account was fixed over this last week, but mine remains a mystery apparently. :(
For tonight, I'll just call it a wash and quit. Best of luck to the dev's tomorrow morning.

I'm having the reset issue on my main character Dakcenturi. Weird though I wasn't having the issue last week but now when I login I always go back to the forrest hex I ended in last week and it reset all my achievments, XP, and any training.
Can't figure out anyway to replicate it on one of the other two characters.

I absolutely cannot delete my character, Kitsune. It pretends to delete the character, but doesn't actually. If I close client/re-open, he's back. Can someone please simply forcefully delete my character (or reset my account) on Zog? (all hail zog)
I guess its time for Bonny vengeance: "Perma-Ban/Delete his char and claim that it is by harassment". (I know it's not the same feelings if he was not asking to do it)...

Is there anyway to restore my reputation? I can sneak around the guards, but none of the NPCs will talk to me. :(It regens over time.Very, very, very slowly. And only when you are logged in.
For the sake of the Alpha, remake your character.
Not mine. I had over 9000 xp when I logged in last night.

So we think there is some kind of bug affecting the current build of the server on Zog related to character names. You should, if you want to be safe, start a new character with a completely different name than you have used before. Some of those older character names have some kind of bjorking that wont' be fixed in this round of testing. The next version of the server will likely not have these problems but we will also be likely doing a server wipe too.
When you make a new name, don't just use a capitalization or spacing change. Make a whole new name.

Thank you for looking into the issue. I'd hate to see such a bug return in future builds, so I'm somewhat glad I can be used as a guinea pig for the time being, at least. :)

That would make sense at least in my case. Might have to get someone to help me transfer my cleric gear over to my rogue character that has like 20k XP so I can keep testing out Cleric.
Any word on extending the servers over the weekend?
Yeah, I'll be a little weaker for having only 1k XP again, but that's fine. It appears that due to balances in the game, low-level characters are certainly still viable - especially in numbers.
It does not at all feel like the typical MMO where a level-one character is entirely useless in a party of level-six characters.
