This is a good example for bad informing:
I did some in-game stuff from yesterday boot (killed one eq-mob, did some exp,
reaver energy etc.) before the informed maintenance break.
I logged off before the actual maintenance boot and did not log on again
yesterday.
Today morning when I logged in again, I've had an offline-tell concerning the
eq we made yesterday, that it doesnt exist no more. Quick peek to exp worth
and reaver energy level show'd me that there has been a restore of some sort.
The fresh eq was gone too.
What I wanted to find next was somekind of a global inform about what has
happened. I searched the news, checked inform last and even peaked last 40
lines of bat channel - Nothing.
Even a normal inform message would have been great after a remarkable thing as
a backup restore. It's not so nice to ask around from other
clueless mortals who have done the thinking by themself, or seen a shout or
discussion on some channel right after the event.

I did actually see an inform about this, before and after.. However, the person
who did the inform did not notice that his inform was gone with the restore
But you have a point. I\'ve been slightly disappointed with the information
flow myself.
