On October 15th 2021, Gertonian civilian Xyster_ was accused of using xray. Because of this, the admins rolled back the mined ores he supposedly took, but in this process, it also rolled back the chunks that Ritterberg was on, which caused the buildings and map art that were once there to reappear in some form. The items that belonged to Gertonia also disappeared completely, making the nation lose large amounts of wealth. As of now, admins are attempting to fix the situation, while King Kaiser Jeremy is attempting to get the lost items back.
