Awesome-O. Thanks!

you broke it and its all broken now unbreak it why did you do this! *crys* i dont know what to do now

ya im that bored

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.

=( think it happened again

kaboom or hiccup?

im thinking it happened again

Yep... crashed again

noooo im in destard with the ancient wyrm

Doh. haha these smileys rock.

I cant remember what I was doing during the last save.

Meh! How long do you think we'll be down for?

hopefully it will be back up soon

mmm..shard is down...i thought i was in trouble to be honest....lol

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.
