Hello everyone! The good news is that I’ve pinpointed the exact problem causing the server crashes with the current build. The problem originates when a player disconnects in the middle of crossing zones. We will figure out exactly why this is a problem and fix it as soon as possible. At the moment I’m waiting on the other programmers.
We’ll work on this all night, as usual.

The main server is back up. If you would like to help us continue to test on the test server, please do so. Both servers will be accessible.
We reverted to the old animal AI on the main server and added some error checking. We will continue to focus on the source of these recent crashes.
Thank you very much to all that have been helping us on the test server!

The main server will be turned off at 1:00 PM PST temporarily so that we can focus on the test server build. The main server may be down for a few hours, but all players will be able to log on the test server. we really need to try to crash the test server build so that we can resolve the crashes that have happened on the main server.
Thank you all for your help and patience while we track down the crashes!

Hello everyone,
I’ve patched out a build that allows all players to connect to the test server. Please join us on the test server if you like.
The database on the test server is a copy of the main database from 2 days ago. What we are primarily testing is players logging on and off repeatedly, in particular players that log in twice from the same computer. We are also testing players logging in while others are crossing zones. So the main things we need players to test are:
– Log in and out, fully or just to the character screen.
– Cross zone boundaries repeatedly.We have not yet been able to reproduce a server crash on the test server. We are currently running a debug build that will help us gather more detailed information. Your help testing this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
