Xbox Live Achievements Not Wiped? Posted by XanTium | January 9 23:49 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From kotaku.com: [QUOTE] A rumor that concerned the recent issues with Xbox Live being responsible for wiping out some of the achievements 360 gamers played hard to collect. Despite several comments on that story indicating otherwise, word from Microsoft's Larry Hryb is that this is not the case. The following comment appeared in Larry's Twitter widget early this morning. "Regardless of what you have read, achievements are not disappearing for users" This afternoon Microsoft officially responded to our request for a comment, saying mostly the same thing Hryb said: "Xbox LIVE is not erasing Achievement's earned while playing on the service. If any member is having trouble with their Xbox LIVE service, we urge them to contact 1-800-4-my-xbox." [/QUOTE] X-S Note: Achievements may not be wiped, but I know someone personally who went from level 51 Prestige in Call of Duty 4, back to level 14, which was the level he was at a prior day, and the objectives he completed were also missing. It seems that only a very limited number of users who played at a specific time were affected. Full Story: kotaku.com

Bullshit. I lost three achievements on 12/23 - get the van, get the bus, get the plane on Rock Band. Had the achievements at shutdown, did not have them on the 24th.

It really wasn't a big deal to me until I read this. I will call tommorow.
