The Hidden Forest

just posting what i was doing when the server went down, i had 3 character in chardok lower library along with a 4th (ranger), one of the sarnaks popped so i ran over to engage then turned around and saw another on the ranger so i clicked flurry to throw some hate on it from me and the server was going down at that point. not sure if this had anything to do with it just lending some additional feedback because this has happened before with multiple aggro when i change targets to get one off of a healer ect, the server crashes.

Man I was just thinking it was me, since there was no update on the forums of it going down.

I'm glad someone finally started a thread like this. This is exactely what I need to find problem sources easier. Thank you Magoo.

Besides it wasn't a server crash (server never crashed so far, ever). What you guys might experience as server crash is actually a simple zone crash, but we haven't got any since yesterday either. So in this case it was probably the ISP with some down time or handing out new dhcp lease..

Once again, if you guys would encounters a zone crash, I knindly ask you to post what you might think to be the potential reason of the crash. That would be a major help.

Btw, zone crashes are usually caused by buggy items (mostly fixed) or 99% of the cases BoTs..

Today July 27, City of Mist, I just had spawned my bot, put 3 pieces of gear on him, clicked the front door, and crashed.

Veksar
lvl 65
using 65 pet w/ 1 kedge 1 (the other one), muzzle and crystal belt

fighting champion karmek

using pally bot

cast the ancienct lvl 65 instant nuke, zone instantly crashed

Not sure what happened July 8th - can't remember what time, but it was something like 11am-12pm EST? Seemed like all the ancillary zones crashed but THF (nektulosa) was fine. I had Jerant in THF and he never budged, but Hans was in Crushbone just waiting on a respawn. While camping Hans out, I watched in THF how I got a zone connect message for about 6-7 zones all at once.
