Server is restarting for applying an upgrade on persistence systems, which means safer and faster world saves.

Downtime estimated : 10 minutes.

Well, it seems it takes more than 10 minutes :-)

Indeed ! I'm currently fixing a crash about guilds which is happening during the new world saves. It was tested on Test Center, but you know ... Murphy's law. lol
We'll be back very soon !

Good luck !

Thanks ! Well, it took time, but the server is back online with the newer scripts for world saves. Guilds were still being an issue, so I will have to double check what is wrong later before enabling the "super fast" option. lol
At least, the server should be in a more reliable state : meaning less server crashes during world saves (which happened twice today :/ ).

Erm ... I may have missed something, but my character has been deleted or what ?

Oups, error on my account name. My fault !

lol phew ! You scared me. Glad you have found your way :)

I can't open my house secure chests. Has it something to do with the update ?

It seems like I can't interact with entities :
- I can't attack monster, even if they attack me (they get damages from reflection)
- I can't open boxes out of my inventory (on the ground or secured), but they can be opened if they are in my inventory ...

- I can't open corpses, the only way to loot is the command "[loot"

That’s a lot of errors. Indeed that’s today’s patch which went wrong. Total chaos ! Sorry for that. I will have to revert my latest modifications. We will loose an hour or two of gameplay. Sorry for the troubles ! I will post more news when everything is back on track.

I won't blame you. You try to update the system.
Maybe it has something to do with the guilds (I'm not in one) ?

Thank you for your understanding ! Actually, I'm not even sure it was about guilds. I've opened a permanent Test-Center on port 2595 (same address) so I can find out what happened. Feedback is always welcome, but the test center is currently unplayable.

But good news ! The Shard on port 2593, the prod server, is working as intended. We lost a couple hours of gaming because I had to go back in time a little to find a "working" backup.

I'll test things more carefully next time, and surely let it run a couple days on the test center before going live. ^_^

Thanks for your work Tharmine. You do a great job.
