Re: OFFICIAL DOWNTIME THREAD
It either lost connection, or the entire server machine crashed, one of the 2.

Re: OFFICIAL DOWNTIME THREAD
i believe this is a isp crash not a server, might be wrong tho, but if this is the case then theres nothing he can do (colibri) until his isp restores connection

Depending on what really caused the crash.Beanah Vulgaris wrote:when the server goes down, what exactly happens to your character and the data in the server?
im wondering if your player isnt around any monsters but is in a monster area, if they will continue to be there unractive..
- Could be just a disconnect. In such case, the server shrinks all pets (soon to be added, it will also return corpse contents). When you login you could find yourself dead if it was the slow type of disconnect (there's the thing when everyone logs off at the same second, or the thing where just some connections drop and it all gets disconnected over half a minute).
- Could be a server crash due to a bug in the script. Hmm but due to a recent upgrade, that is no longer possible

- Could be that one of us staffers made a boo-boo and crashed the shard. In such case, when we come back online, it's from the most recent backed up save that is available. Hopefully a max of 1 hour revert. Could be that the last backup didn't go well so it's 2 hours. And in my worst nightmares, there would be a bug with how the saving is done, and the saves would be useless, in which case we would have to revert a lot! But i do my best to be really careful if i mess with anything that can cause this. So far it has happened once (wasn't me who caused the bug, hehe), but we got it all fixed so there were only minor losses.

Re: OFFICIAL DOWNTIME THREAD
Is it down or is it just me ?? 

Anyone else having connection issues?
I was wondering if anyone else was having issues connecting to the shard. I know I am having issues. It is almost acting like the server is down. Is this the case? It also wont let me into portal. Any ideas? Am I alone? 

Re: Anyone else having connection issues?
i am having trouble too...
Re: Anyone else having connection issues?

Re: Anyone else having connection issues?
