UO Second Age

1. why does the server world save so often? Is this really necessary?
2. why does the server crash every couple of hours?

The server saves often just incase of crashes, to decrease any setbacks. I believe Derrick has said that saves won't be changed until he can incorporate constant saving that doesn't require a paused save (I think).

Haven't heard about any crashes recently, server does restart at 7 AM EST

The server has crashed for me all of about 2x since I started playing. What're you talking about?

The shard has just come up, I hadn't realised that it was down.

Runuo servers rarley ever crash, usually if servers go down its conection problem. I have been here now for allmost 3 months and so far not a single server crash. Once there was an network outage but it didnt revert anything ingame. Allthoe when server went up onnline they shut it down and revert it about 5 minutes, and i am guessing it was for those that happend to die in dungeons due to dissconecting. I consider that to be far better uptime and stability than osi. And its a huge laxury that free shards never had with sphere and pol emulators.

Been playing 3 months and haven't experienced a crash yet. Sometimes it doesn't come up immediately after server restart (longest wait has been a couple of hours), but that's all I can think of.

Yes I think your mistaken the daily shard restart for a crash .. This is really server wars (era acc.) and a way to keep the shard very stable.

Crash tonight was the first one I've been online for in months.

Thats 3 questions...Misleading subject is misleading.

However: 1) Because, you should take a 6 to 16 second break at least once an hour. 2) Prolly not but see# 1. 3) LIES!

I get withdrawals during server save.

Actually when the shard crashes it gives a server message "Thanks for playing UOSA, the server has crashed."

And the world saves seem to happen every 30 minutes?

When I'll ask Derrick for any info on those crashes .. please time and day .. but if its like you said I'm sure Derrick will know what your talking about.

Matron's sig isn't actually realtime video from the game

I have yet to have the server crash on me. I did have issue of the client crashing but that was resolved when I turned off the game music.

It might just be me.

But I wouldn't mind the world save happening a bit less often.

It would be nice, but its never caused any problems. Its a 7-12 second pause. Nothing horrible. Think of it this way its a great safety thing. Save and save often!
