Suddenly getting alot of crashing. You have been warned peoples.
Connection issues and the server crashing/rebooting are two different things.

Connection issues, though, we got those.

Same, trying to troubleshoot a friend of mine who cant connect, using the same client as me.
As for the server resetting, it did it 3 times, rapidly.
Not in the last 2 days, it didn't...
I've not been able to connect for over 20 minutes now :/ Neither to the site either.
Time to go be productive.
Click that link in my first post and see just how far you're getting - it should take like 12 hops to get to the server.
It looks more like a connection problem than a crash. If it is not a crash then people may die in a dangerous spot which is always the lamest way to die.
I... I... I can't get in!
Xeran, i think, for some reason the server is doing this to certain connections. You might no be effected, but others are. I leterally was booted 3 times in a row about an hour ago, or less.
I had another friend who plays arm IM me and asked if I crashed too. but my other friend (who i am now trying to help) Was fine.
Now I connect perfectly fine, but he cannot connect, or get to the main website at all.
I'm at a loss here.
It appears our host is having network problems, I am on the phone with support.

I love you.
The network issue has been resolved for now. I am still awaiting an analysis/answer on what happened from our host.
Sorry about the loss.
Thanks for hitting that up so quickly, Morgenes.
Fuuuuuuuu
cccccck.
indeed, it's down for me too
Seriously? Again?
Yup. I'm done for now.
Sorry, I stole root access to ginka and pushed a button I shouldn't have.
Morg is changing the password on me now.
This resolved?

I can't seem to crack the password anymore... so yeah, I think it's resolved. And thank Ginka it is, those crashes -really- come at bad times.
Like when you're in the middle of somethingsomething... doing somethingsomething you probably shouldn't be doing...
Or something you should be doing.
Unrelated code event caused the first crash (fixed) which may have corrupted a pfile for a player to cause the next two crashes. If my theory is right, we shouldn't crash again. An unfortunate temporary ban is the temporary solution while we review the pfile and fix.
I say we. I mostly poke at runlogs and throw wild-ass guesses around hoping one of them sticks long enough for Tiernan to confirm.

Well, we know one thing for certain. It's all Nyr's fault somehow.
I suspected Nyr all along!
Nooooo one expects the Nyrish Inquisition!

LOL... crawl back in your hole man, that was bad (I did snicker a bit)
Anybody having trouble getting in just now? Got dropped.
>:(
Uggghh! Fuuuuu, Ugghhh!
I hope I didn't lose progress. :X
Oh well.
That was pretty funny.
>:(
I had a bazillion things to wrap up before I could go sleep, too!
Noooooo~!
*screaming in the background*
*runs around like a headless chicken*
I logged out just in time I guess 8)
All's well!
I'm such a good little 'save' typer.
Seriously?
Wat?
Ummm. Can I restart the level?
*presses reset button*
Worst crash evar.
OH NOES! Are we all down?!
Glad it wasn't only me. And for the first time that I have save on a timer.
I thought the server shift was supposed to improve things :(
This is a little ridiculous. Just sayin'.
Well.
Mine's okay. That's all that mattahs. Ahahaha.
I don't think this is related to the server change. Something about the library issues from earlier today.
The crashes are less frustrating than the rollbacks. :(
You people. Arm stays up for weeks many times. Most often 7 days or more if not forced to reboot.
It used to crash daily. For years going from Saturday downtime to Saturday downtime without a crash/reboot was pretty much unheard of.
Armageddon is solid. Cease kabitching lest ye yearn for Whira's wrath mutha flockas!
I definitely am not complaining.
I am however, wailing in abject fear. Especially right now.
I want Ginka back. The Ginkacloud hates me. >:(
Edit to add: At least, with a true crash our characters are kicked out of the world and cannot be eaten by meks in the meantime. I think.
For the record the recent crashes have been due to code changes, not the ginka cloud.
And apparently 10+ year old bugs that just hadn't ever happened in 10 years (that we noticed).
I'm very sorry guys. I promise we're doing what we can to stabilize things.
I'm all for the fixing of old bugs!
;D
Thanks so much you guys, for working so hard to fix this.
I can only imagine that it was a real bitch.
You guys are champs, solid champs.
Anyone who says otherwise is going to wake up with my avatar in their bedroom at 3AM looking even more happy.

And good luck Morg! We have faith in you and the other coder types :D
Old bugs. Kanks?

So THAT'S where they went to!
By the way, my earlier complaints were in no wise meant to imply that I do not think Staff is top-notch and doing a phenomenal job. I apologize if it felt that way.
Man..these kanks just don't want to leave, do they?
FIRE KANKS!
On the plus side, the GDB is more active than usual.
I don't mind so much the crashes, just as long as my character doesn't die or lose their stuff :(
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
what in the plane of Ruk is going on!!
Just wanted to say that.. poor ginkavision
*reinvents the kank virus and spreads it to the new bugs*
*headbang*
Morg'll destroy them for sure. He's got a South Park style avatar, for Krath's sake!
I wonder if that's what he looks like IRL...

... So I look kind of like Brad Pitt?
You know what? I'm just going to go eat some dinner.
So the server is full of ten-years-dead kanks?
Not directed at anyone specific, I just had to (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwlyiF0jlQE).
