Sit Down -> Save (check for the message.. not just the sound) -> Stand Up.
Just to be sure u're in sync all the time.
Don't forget to check that credits had been deducted too. Just to be sure.

The credits are deducted on the client side, so thats irrelevenant.
Also, F that.
I'm continuing to screenshot all saves and save twice, when FC refuses to refund the Xp next time, I'll just quit.
Hmmm, well given FCs current no refunds policy, I suspect we'll be saying goodbye
The problem isn't so much that the client does too much (clients in these types of games do tend to do a fair bit to minimise lag effects), but that once sync is lost, it doesn't get re-synced very well. If the client checked its data set every now and then, or even just different bits of it on a more frequent basis, it might notice something was amiss.
But I'd try the sit down, save, stand-up suggestion. If you can sit down or stand up, you have communication with the server as that action needs confirmation before the client will perform it, so that at least checks your ok there. If that isn't the issue, then...
How about now?
Can you hear me now?
This happened to me yesterday... I saved at 20k, and it didn't register. I died later and found myself in Broken Shore set back several million xp.
The day before, two friends of mine told me that they had also lost chunks of exp because of saves that somehow didn't happen.

I always save at least 3 times, making sure there's no lag going on when I do it. This has never happened to me so far

I only lag when I first enter a zone/area and it's loading everything in. Other then that AO runs fine for me. Think you should consider some hardware upgrades and/or software tweaking if it lags badly all the time...or was that some attempt at humour?

4 way interleave, manually assigned video memory addressing, 256meg video aperature, side band addrressing on (verified that DX inputs faster with it), ata100 HD with a seperate ata100 HD with a 12 GIG page file on it. WinXP with all the services and drivers tweaked. 3 megabit downstream 300k upstream cable connection off of a business class router (live downtown, play at night).
I spent over a year doing tech support (security admin for a 300K user network now) and I KNOW what I'm doing.
This game is F'ing laggy as hell on judgement day.
Try now.
Can you hear me now?
I suppose not for every single person, but it's awfully laggy for a lot of people. I have a 620/90 adsl connection, P 933, Geforce 3, 512 RAM, recent install of Win 2k professional with all the correct and updated drivers etc.... certainly a good enough machine to run the game in all its glory. Good enough to exceed any requirements if the game is run with all of the bells and whistles at their maximum settings.
Yet still it lags to a slideshow on a regular basis, the ping drops into the thousands, I get disconnected more often than I'd like, the mouse lag makes it difficult to click on anything...

Don't beat me with it, lend it to Cosmik.
He was "looking into this" and now, nothing.
Personally, I look at this as thier last chance to save my account.
HOW ABOUT NOW?

It just happened again to the tune of 1.48 mil.
Why am I playing this game?
Ohh ya, because SWG isn't out yet.
Cosmik: can you at LEAST get my name changed to Whycan't "Chown" Save
I know you WON'T refund the xp.
I know you can't make anyone in the ark program give a damn.
I know you can't convince the people in game direction that they're quickly ruining what was once the BEST MMPORG.
But can you at least do that?
Come on, grant me a pyrrhic victory.
