MUD Server Downtime

Post by iGame3D »

Connection froze failed about 11:30 AM MST still down 8:00 PM MST
I'm connecting to the server, but thats as far as it gets.

Maybe someone should sticky this thread, so players/hosts can post downtime when it happens and it won't get lost in that spam below.

The MUD is back. If it was crashed, the mud itself would restart after about 5-10 minutes unless there was a corruption of area files. If you can still ping cm.foxpaws.net (cthulhumud.com/net/org) then the host is up. In this case, there was some bug in the driver code that caused it to hang itself and get stuck in an infinite loop. I killed the process off and it restarted normally. If you experience a loss of data, let me know and I'll look into it.

Also, stickying the thread would be kinda silly. We don't have enough downtime that's not announced to really warrant it. This was the first substantial amount in.. months. If it becomes a problem though, we'll post updates here and in the announcement sections.
