Sorry guys - like a few have mentioned this was the only option. Trust me, we DESPISE rollbacks, especially since we can't even do it specifically for a galaxy - everything gets set back. It's really annoying and not something we want to be doing.
Unfortunately, the "glitch" (whatever it was), screwed some stuff up badly and gave people an unfair advantage. People lost stuff they shouldn't have, and others gained what they shouldn't have.
Sadly, this was the fairest option - although one not preferred 
Also, not entirely sure why we rolled back too far, and then forward again. It should have always been the most recent backup. Perhaps Stefan needed to check that the most recent one was not corrupt or something - I'm not entirely sure. Either way, we're back where we're supposed to be - sorta.
Sorry for time wasted - I know it ruins plans and energy and whatnot.
