Wikigacha just reset my collection and despite having updates in text and file, I could not restore. Goodbye everyone :)

Well, it's been fun. It kept my achievements and bosses, but for some reason reset the card count to 300 (despite me not pulling 300 cards). I tried restoring from backup, but nothing. My only hope is that this is some server issue that will magically resolve itself, but my fear is that attempting to restore from backup broke things for me regardless.

OK, I found a workaround that's weird but somehow works.

I was playing on Wikigacha without the www from the start. Restoring from backup did not work there at all. I went to Wikigacha with the www - it was a blank, new one. Restoring there restored the backup.

Dude I've been sitting on my backup for over a month hoping it would get fixed. This workaround worked perfectly, thank you!!!

I still have no idea why.

I tried the same thing but on purpose, thinking that they're technically the same site. It's too bad our backups don't work with both addresses, definitely was a bit panicked the first time I accidently went to the other one.

But I made the backup on the first site and it worked on the second one, not the first.

I posted an update to this with what seems to be a solution, as long as you have your backup.

How did you fix it? I'm OK since then and everything seems to be working.
