    Well, for something that is supposedly so 'rare' it's still happening. It has happened a total of 8 more times since my post just a few days back, including right now, bring it to a grand total of 9 times!

    So it's safe to say it's not fixed and continues.... Will this ever get fixed or is it goign to remain a problem?

    Thank you for the continued report. Please try to reproduce it now, and update here if it reoccurs.

    It's "easy" enough to reproduce.

    1. Be at less than full health with plenty of gold.
    2. Click the hit points link to restore hp just as the 5 minute timer expires
    3. Wait a few seconds and go to "Profile"
    4. Update (F5) every now and then for about 30-40 seconds.

    I've hit this multiple times where I saw it report all hit points restored, and then bounce back to attacking a boss and find only the 5 minute increment HP adder was applied.

    I've also had both purchases and energy restoration thru a potion fail out this way.

    [As a former realtime software engineer, this would appear to be non-interlocked access to a data structure by multiple threads of execution. Each thread updates a a value and the last thread doing the "store" wins.]

    You can still get this to occur now? I believe the final aspect of this was resolved a couple days ago.

    I think I saw the HP problem yesterday or this morning (before the hyper energy restore was turned off), but I could be wrong.

    I'll update this thread if I see it again.

    Just saw a similar problem with energy...

    1. I was sitting at 7 energy with the refill clock at 4:57.
    2. Clicked "attack again"
    3. Energy ended up at 15 instead of 12

    We do know about that possibility. There's also a possibility that you'll get one tick over your max HP if you heal at just the right second (until the next tick). Both are rare, but we are allowing this to happen for now as it is a better solution than HP or energy being reverted.

    So I noticed this area is still an issue. I purchased several energy potions. I then went to the Items and indicated to "USE THEM". My Energy stood at "180" (3 energy potions). I then clicked on the items to go to Food and regnerate HP. That took about a minute.. but long enough hit the 5 minute recycle mark. My 180 energy points were lost and I was back down to my 8 mark for energy. Sigh lost those points. I am sure ya'll are looking into this... any help would be appreciated.

    We're working to track the issue. We send the energy potions to you in the meantime.
