Server reset without warning, lost everything.

Me and a friend of mine were playing around 12:50 ECT and the server reset without any warning.  At the time we were both flying in separate helicopters while using the slung loads to carry a payload back to a safe zone to sell.  Once the sever reset I rejoined to find that I had been killed and had lost everything.  I am curious as to why there was no warning prior to the reset and if we both can be compensated for our unfair loss of equipment.  Thanks.

Yes this issue has happened to me in the past. I think that the server owner is currently trying to fix it However i cannot talk for him. Let him decide to do. Im just here to inform you that other players have experienced this error as well
