Ok I don't know what exactly caused this, but I've just added lots more debug info to where it happened, so that if we crash again, at least I'll be able to see what the problem is, an hopefully will be able to repair it.

The bug is somewhere in the code that protects us from crashing, which I wrote, but on the bright side it has prevented numerous crashes since spring.

The crash resulted in a roughly half hour revert. When i got on, i've shrunken all people's pets, so even if you had to leave your computer since the crash and had the pets out at the last save, they are safe.

Save times are back to 30 minutes, just in case.

It's just come back up.

I believe have discovered why this is happening. If I'm not mistaken it's not the server code, but it's a windows thing. I have for now restarted the whole server (computer) in hopes that it will help for at least a few days until i can find a long term solution.

We'll restart every day if it has to be, as long as it's an announced downtime so there isn't a revert and everyone can go to a safe place before it goes down.
