What the hell? did that trader lie to me?

[bakatrader]

I've been thinking that i may have possibly got screwed.
Here's the deal

i traded a 20/20 pally torch to someone.
Here's the sequence of events:
1. i dropped the torch. trader picked it up.
2. i got a mule to trade high runes. I obtained hrs through a trade screen.
3. After getting runes in my inventory, about 2mins later the game got dropped.
4. When i checked later, there were no high runes in my inventory. Trader also said that he/she lost all high runes and did not have a torch.

Is this possible? I know that i could have lost the high runes due to my character image not being saved, but surely if mine did not get saved, his should not have been saved either. Thus he should still have the hrs and the torch? any suggestions?

edit: it's important to note that the trader did not leave the game at any time.

second edit: Also to solve this problem can someone answer this question - When i leave the game, do all players also get a character save? Or is it just the player who leaves?

third edit: would the dupe check come into affect (in relation to runes poofing)?

Er, I think you should have either the torch or the highrunes in your possession if the game drops.
Makes no sense to me that you don't have either.
As far as I know, the game gets saved after the tradescreen is accepted.
Very strange/unfortunate.

Sounds like a rollback, if everyone in the game got saved everytime somebody left I'd imagine there would be no way all the kiddies could dupe. Sorry for your loss :sad:
