Edit: The server looks stable already 7 and a half hours did not fall, let's see what the evening onslaught of players will do.
EDIT2: The server will be offline from 20:55 for a few minutes and several crashes will be fixed, hopefully this will help the server stability.
Changes in Instances
The system of instances is already very close to the original servers - after death you move to the nearest Spirit Healer and you have to go back to the corpse (unless you have someone who can revive the person, of course), but there was a stumbling block. When you were coming back, the elites and other monsters were revived and there was no chance to get to the corpses. That’s why I’ve introduced a reset system that’s probably similar to official servers. If the first of the group enters the instance, then the time of 14400 seconds begins to count - according to the official values - 4 hours, after which the whole instance restarts and thus all monsters reappear. I think it's a lot of time and it's official time, so it should be enough. The instance is restored even if the leader from the party (raid) leaves the selected instance. After the final boss is killed, the instance is restored. You can enter an instance only once a day, it is a protection so that players at higher levels do not constantly kill in instances at lower levels, etc.
Changes in the loot
Now there is an improved cooperation in a bunch of drops and loots, which brought us a lot of problems yesterday. Everything is fine now and we can only proudly announce that from now on the quest item in the whole bunch will be collected by everyone who owns the quest and the item drops. It is again according to the official values, because who would like a quest where you have to pick up the head of Onyxia do as many times as there are people in the bunch. I hope this helps. Both systems are in their infancy and should no longer cause server crashes.
Why does the server crash and not at other times?
It's more complicated. We are constantly improving the server, correcting bugs, etc. Each new code added carries some risks that the server will be unstable, even if it does not manifest itself in the first stage - the first stage is the application of new code and trouble-free startup. In the next stage, however, the code for repairing the loot can cause crashes when sending mail, because all codes work with each other and thus can cause any problems, even unexpected ones. Therefore, if something does not seem to you, you do not know the advice, write everything immediately on the forum in the appropriate section, otherwise you will not be satisfied. If you write bugs in the game players or GM, the people will forget about it in the rush of information, despite the fact that if you write a bug on the forum, others know about it and you know that the bug is being solved. Thank you for your attention and I hope that you will take this article to heart and respect this.
