Hey Everyone,
A fair number of you have reported losing your account data when you updated Aurora Feint. Unfortunately, it seems this is a bug in Apple's Update process. Sometimes, under certain conditions, the updater will lose an application's local save files. Aurora Feint attempts to "backup" its save files to our web server to mitigate this issue. We've had some bugs with it, so it will fail occasionally for some people.
We greatly apologize for the inconvenience. We are completely revamping our account system. Your account will work like a traditional web-site/game account where you create a user name and password. We will also begin linking your accounts and characters to our own custom forum and other fun web site goodies to be announced at a later date.
The client update with proper accounts and friend codes will be released as 1.1 in about three weeks. It will support other goodies like being able to transfer between phones on your own, recover an existing account manually if the save files are lost, and a revamp to the community section using Friend Codes instead of your contact list.
This still does not fix the potential loss of data on Update until AFTER you have updated to 1.1. We're hoping Apple will address its update issue shortly.
Again we're really sorry about the frustration. It sucks a lot to hear you guys dealing with crappy issues like this. So, trust us, we're working to smooth things out.
Thanks for playing!
