Title: Why does the server crash?

Heya, Just had a server crash - but wandering why does it happen?

It can happen for a variety of reasons.  One is a high load, for example a lot of people logging on all at the same time.
  Also, NWN is not without its bugs.
  In addition, we rely on NWNX which is a necessary evil and which has its share of known memory leaks.
  And in truth, Bioware never really intended for NWN to run for great lengths of time continuously.  Persistent Worlds were just not on their roadmap when they developed it, and as such, it was made to be "stable enough" for solo and multi-player module play.
  So really, we're forcing NWN to do things it really doesn't want to do.  I'd crash too in such cases. ;)

Stable enough? bah.  Durned ball of code crashes even when I'm playing single player.  My client crashes at least 10 times as much as the servers, probably more like 50 times as frequently.

And yes, It'd probably be better if I reverted to the pre HotU animations... but I don't like them.  Talan walks like a homosexual with them.  er, I can say homosexual right?  I figured ANY other term for it was probably wildly offensive somewhere...

Q: Why does the server crash?
A: Because software is made by humans and thus all is flawed and doomed to failure.
