Why doesn't the server save before it goes down?
Seems the server doesn't save before it reboots in the morning.

The server always makes it's last save at 7:00 AM EST, then stays up for 15 minutes or so, when everyone is running around murdering because it's no longer saving. After that it comes up like 2 minutes later.Medwin Lucrii wrote:Seems the server doesn't save before it reboots in the morning.

Re: Why doesn't the server save before it goes down?
So this is done intentionally to allow for a mini server wars?
If so could I suggest a change to the system message.
"Server is going down shortly, there will be no more world saves".

The message I saw says "server is going down shortly". Does not state anything about lack of saves.

when it first starts it states the server has saved for the last time before restartMedwin Lucrii wrote:The message I saw says "server is going down shortly". Does not state anything about lack of saves.

But I can understand his point, if you log after the world save you have no clue knowing that the world state has already been saved X minutes ago.
Either: create a logon message so you know you are logging on and none of what you do will be saved
Or: modify the "going down shortly" message to indicate the last save already occurred X minutes ago
(or: change nothing and keep the system as is)

Thanks Batlin, that is what I was getting at.
Granted it isn't a huge deal that I wasted ten minutes buying regs and setting up a macro; only to come back after the restart and find I had to do it all over again. Still it would have been nice to avoid that.

Re: Why doesn't the server save before it goes down?
Sorry about the poor timing Medwin. Currently the following messages occur:
6:58am: Last Save is in 2 minutes
The Server is going down shortly
7:00am: The server has saved for the last time before restart.
Every couple minutes until restart: The Server is going down shortly
The shard restarts at or before 7:15am
It's possible however for the shard to restart as early as 7:05 though in a rare case, meaning things happening at 7:10am might be saved, so you can't really go by the time of day if you log in between 7am and 7:15am
I think the suggestion to give a warning on login would be the best solution.

Just update the message that happens every couple of minutes so it says:Derrick wrote:Sorry about the poor timing Medwin. Currently the following messages occur:
