    Server is down until someone is able to resolve the crash issue we are currently experiencing.

    We apologize of the inconvenience.

    So how long does this sort of thing usually take? The above poster does not fill me with confidence.

    When Alice poops her pants, (which is inevitable because of the amount of mods loaded onto a single server) a mod will restart it and everyone lives happily ever after.

    However, when there is a reoccurring bug, like the one that has killed us multiple times today, you will have to wait X.

    X is equal to (time it takes for a server admin to address the issue) + (time it takes for the bug to be fixed).

    So x = random integer expressed as minutes?

    Si, senor. It all depends on the availability of admins and the severity of bugs.

    This made me laugh. The meme would be better suited for Half Life 3 though, what is it called?

    Anyways, the problem is possibly caused by someone logging into a broken chunk.
    There's no way to estimate when it'll be fixed either

    I hope Alice is not playing an April Fool's joke on us. I really do.

    <- Female. If you had no indication I would have left it. But you have a gender based avatar as reference and used the wrong prononun/

    Would the simple solution not be to Teleport them to spawn and regen the chunk refunding whatever was lost?
    Or am I missing something?

    The server doesn't print the current chunk when it crashes, so we had to do that.

    We've narrowed it down, and it was indeed the last person to log on. That said Steg what was the last thing you did?

    Not really. I was just a bit upset about the lack of effort. I try to use the correct pronouns, so I not unreasonably expect the same. I normally let slide when there is no indication because there is no indication. But the default avatar makes it fairly obvious.

    Optic claimed be be a female however, it was later found out that was not the case. Simply selecting a "gender" on the internet is not verifiable proof you are what you claim to be. Going off statistics 1/4th of gamers are female, and based on that the safer bet is to assume G.I.R.L. or guy in real life, unless you have physically met with that individual, or as some Eve guild did it. Until you're speaking on teamspeak.

    The better bet is to just not care about it. :| There's really no way to verify it save voice.
