Basically, Steve hates Cloud computing. This is one of the big reasons why, and when you read it, you will see why your characters are disappearing.

 

-QUOTE BY STEVE WOZNIAK IN ARTICLE LINK ABOVE----

 

I've had too many personal experiences get messed up just because companies change things on the cloud. I've come to a depressed state of feeling that I own nothing on the cloud and have no ability to keep things working the way they do. Features change and get dropped, things you depend on disappear, etc. And no company will ever take responsibility. It's rare to ever get told what really happened.

 

Not long after upgrading to Mountain Lion, one of my three primary Google calendars disappeared. It no longer existed. I have multiple Google calendars and some people have read ability while others can create events but I have the sole admin account that could have deleted a calendar. I would never do this, and checked to make sure it's not easy. In fact, a dialog appears telling you to ok that you will lose all your events. I would never do this.

Fortunately, iCal and BusyCal still had copies of this calendar, although they weren't up to date. My wife exported the calendar from iCal and I created a new calendar in BusyCal and imported the events. Not every event was saved, and this led to calendar conflicts of a HUGE magnitude in my life, including hasty rearrangements of my schedule next week and some monetary concerns. - Steve Wozniak

No, it's not. It's vulnerable to everything, as Steve said months ago, and now Rockstar is proving with millions of people losing their characters over and over.
