I lost everything I earned over the weekend

[dimondghost]

Anyway I played elements over the weekend, upgraded some cards. Now I log in and it is gone.

On the side note, I played elements on kongregate and had never closed the browser at work. Over the weekend I played from elementsthegame.com  When I started playing elements from kongregate, everything rolled back to how I left it before weekend.

As another side note I left the elements after I rolled for cards at work.

anyway, the question that I have is there anyway to recover what I lost?

No. If you are leaving a playing session, log out so you don't run the danger of losing data. Anytime you play the game in multiple windows, you run this risk.

I did not play in multiple windows, just forgot to close kongregate with elements running.

I though it saved everything on the server side?

Is there any way to recover what I have lost?

Yes, everything is saved server-side -- but sometimes, the servers don't get your requests to save.

Unfortunately, there's probably little that could be done.

Try to avoid playing on Kongregate if you can -- there's been a whole bunch of weird things happening to people who play on Kong lately.

Always play on the official website!

Should I try to just hack around and glitch the game till it benefits me? It is just frustrating that I lost stuff that I spent time on.

By not closing the window at work, you were effectively playing in multiple windows; one at work, one at home.
The one at work kept its state as it was when you left it, and when you continued there it overwrote what you had done in the window at home.

This has nothing to do with Kong, by the way. It's just that the game only loads a save when you log in, so make sure you start all sessions by logging in or you might lose progress.
There most likely is no way to recover what you've lost, but you can always try sending an email to game.elements@gmail.com. Just don't expect anything.

I don't think there's anything that can be done, your acc at work loaded the data and when you closed it, it sent the old information to the server overwriting the new one. It would take some extra code server side to check which data is newest..uh.. and you probably shouldn't be playing at work anyway :p

-Sorry to hear you lost  .

Well I know I should have never played from work, but they should have a warning label on the game "Warning can be addictive, do not play from work!"
