My Game Center account reset itself

I signed out my Game Center account and signed back in. When I did, it asked me to accept Terms of Service, so I did. And now I've lost everything. I had like 8 games and 11 achievements, now they're all gone, plus I am no longer listed on any Leaderboards I was previously on.

Why did this happen? I know I've accepted the terms before, I figured they were just updated so I needed to re-accept them, and then this happens...

Can you say, Apple FAIL?!! ... I find myself saying this all the time...

iPod Touch 4G, iOS 4, 4.1

Hmm... my account seems to have been restored, although I lost the 1 friend request I accepted when the account was seemingly reset. Turns out I have 11 games and 42 achievements. I am also listed once again in the Leaderboards I was on.

I am developing a Game Center app and everything came back when I tried to login to Game Center through my app. It must have something to do with then.

I suppose this is only a partial Apple fail this time.

Alright I went ahead and created a new one with the same old alias. Once signed in to gamecenter everything was zero, but if I log out and back in, it shows my old alias scores. Sign out and in again, it shows the new alias scores.really confused. Would love apple to fix the issue Nd delete my new alias scores. My old alias has 201 achievements. Wouldn't wanna loose it

Ok another update.if I log out and back into gamecenter it shows my old alias. But noticed that a new game from miniclip, ping pong or something just updated and doesn't recognize me as signed and asks to login to gamecenter,but as soon as I login and switch to the game center app it shows me my new alias with a few achievements but if I log out and login again it shows me my old alias with the higher amount of achievements. Same issue with fragger desert strike by miniclip. But any other game like angry birds has no issues and doesn't ask me to login to gamecenter

Yup, same thing here. I managed to get most of my achievements back by replaying my games, although sometimes it took loading into Crystal to make Game Center realize. Seems this happened to a lot of people as the amount of people currently on the leader boards has dropped dramatically. Some official word from Apple regarding what's happening and how to get things back would be nice. Oh, also I've noticed I can't seem to get an online game on Fruit Ninja HD, not sure if that's cause everybody's lost game center and as such aren't playing, or if in fact the Game Center failure is stopping online play.
