Normal databases flush (force write) every completed transaction to permanent storage. Obviously I have no idea how Nexon configured their database, they might be saving I/O time by buffering several transactions at at time, but they have to be outright absurd if they "roll back" more than a second due to power out.
Note that "saving the database" in this case doesn't require exporting it (i.e., exporting the whole thing to a safe copy).
Personally I'd kind of like it if they roll back about 10 minutes. Would give me back 6 wasted cubes and a semi-useful Executioner (it had 6% str and 12 w.att before I starting tossing those cubes at it). But, I don't hold any high hopes of that happening.
It's nexon afterall, they can't seem to do rollbacks that make sense. I'm pointing out that anything that happened right before the power went out is obviously lost, there was no chance to safely shutdown.
