Server Unstable

[Yosemite Sam]

I think the patch today has done something, as west has been very unstable since it was applied today.

There was no update/patch today, I didn't bother.  So uh, yeah nothing's changed.

Interesting, since this is the most unstable I have seen the server since I started playing again.  There is not a lot of people on, and it still crashes.  Maybe we need a cold restart of the server?

Rebooting west (the server) now.

I've seen crashes on all servers W. C. and E. but for east was in a huge party that was probably causing the crashes on west earlier today, then east...however this as been the worst I've seen all 3 servers acting-up so bad...Also thought you guys had implemented something new *shrugs*

Actually what normally happens is the servers run stable for a long while. Then after a time (and no real good time table) it crashes a module. For some reason (not all of the time) it causes a hole in memory due to the crash. Then the module automatically starts again (we don't do a total server reboot) and things go along fine for a while then memory is written to in that 'hole' and it crashes...then things get worse as things progress. A server reboot (not just world/module) tends to clear up the problem. I think that is what we were seeing here.  Not sure.

You mean all this isn't because we actually bloodied Bloods nose and killed one of his generals? *sniff sniff* My delusions are all falling to pieces they are  *goes to cry in a corner*

*chuckles* That was pretty funny though.
