WARNING v1.02

Postby Selavi » Mon Nov 10, 2003 5:08 am

There have been reports of AO crashing lately. This crash is of an unusal natur and can have rather dire consecuences. What happens is that most of the things done the last 15 mins gets erased. Happend to me once and it isnt any fun. You fight some mobs and manage to best them in a toe to toe combat. You then proceed to loot your hard earned loot, and feel pretty happy about what you found, your xp gained and the little selfasteem you managed to build up. Then...*WAMMO*. Screen goes black and you find yourself in the login window. You log back on and find that the mob you just killed have nearly killed you now, and the items you looted among with the xp is gone :o

Storys about whole teams having to do the boss room all over again has been told. Even read about whole raid teams being wiped in this manor. Azzassimon said that they had worked themselfes up to 7th broodling at hollow island before the crash, and upon logging back on, only the lill sappling could be seen. Yikes I say, when I think of all the stuff they had fought for up until then, only to see it vanish. So if you find yourself in a position where you traded with a fellow player, did a transfer or bought a hard spawned item from the vendor machine, then hurry up and save incase you experience that crash.

Yeah. horryfying stuff. Worst case scenario here: you help someone with a transfer. Cash and lots of expensive hardware and equipment. Your friend logs off to get his alt, then you crash. Stuff is gone and now there is no way of telling where it is :o So any transfer should be done next to a save term until this gets fixed.
