So, my level 4 dwarlock got back from questing with a full backpack and dropped by the guild shred chest to dump his trash. The chest turned into a mimic and ,being cr 27, killed him instantly. I brought in a bard to dispatch the mimic and reloaded the dwarlock.
The guild chest is gone, just a lump of glitter... with no contents.
(hold on, I'll try rebooting)
Nope, still gone.
I hope this is not WAI. It's really inconvenient, you know. I had crafting blanks stored there.
(edit)
Ok, I logged off, ate lunch, logged back on with my craftbot (level 19), and the chest is back with all contents. Still getting the warning message, so I won't log in with low level toon until the event is over.
