that sounds like autosave, which was mentioned in the chat.
if that is implemented, imagine u got a decent equipment plus some rare items that u brought to the next level & when u re-played the previous level, it may wipe out your previous build. it can be avoided by creating save files based on time stamps, like certain games do.
though i never chat on irc (can only imagine the furious typing one must do 2 keep up with everyone), the chatlog seems short & doesn't resemble a 2 hour chat. but then saint proverbius did mention that the audience ran out of questions though the larians were willing 2 stick around longer. 2 bad i wasn't online 8 that time or i'll fire volleys of queries on larians.
