And would the "next time" be after Fenoxo got his new server? If so, out of my control.

The online saves are kept in your browser cache, if you clear it (or, as was the case with the server move) the domain changes, you're out of luck.

Use save editing to get yourself back up, but in the future it's best to keep your saves on file for backup.

If you don't mind waiting, I can grab some file locations for you so you can check if the saves still exist yourself. So were you playing the game through browser online or did you download the offline version and use that?

But the domain shouldn't have moved. It's still www.fenoxo.com - there were a few hours were the links got fucked up and went to http://fenoxo.com, which is technically a different domain where adobe is concerned, but that's been rectified.

...I just realized this is an FoE post.

Well, I found the save files, but wow is dealing with with these a bitch. 

If you wish to check yourself they are located C:\Users\YourPCAccountNameHere\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\http_www.fenoxo.com_0.localstorage
You will need a SQLite database viewer to get your hands on the insides though... FoE probably didn't even a save editor(???). If this seems like a bother, I suggest just starting all over.

No save editor, but it's easy enough to edit in notepad. Takes some playing with though.

Quick aside: I hear the newest release made save to file work for offline too, so backing up your stuff is even easier!

Yeah. I just noticed, I never bothered opening up that local file before. But it sure as heck is easy now that I did.

The raw save is a bit hard to get, but put it in a JSON-viewer (Notepad++ and JStool for example) and the format should be relatively selfexplanatory. The one thing that's hard to understand is the flags for everything, pretty much need the code to understand what they actually are, but boosting your stats is trivial.

I guess you could change the file name of http_fenoxo.com_0.localstorage to http_www.fenoxo.com_0.localstorage so your saves work on the new link.

I'm pretty sure there's a cheat mode in the game at your base camp.  Just flip that on and lvl ill you're back where you were.

It's saving FoE in sessionStorage then...? Strange, perhaps there is setting on firefox for that. I guess I could download the latest firefox and see what it does for me.

Well, this was sort of obvious, but I'm guessing you either have the setting on to not save any history, cookies, cache OR you are using incognito. This was the only option I could find that causes them to go to sessionStorage.
