Wow worst time in history of eq for server crash

[Jozz]

Got a friend kiting fear to help me get my corpse, friend on a cleric to rez me, they both zone in fine, i get kicked to log in GG... please fix server before we all die k thx <3

[Supaskillz]

ok, its not just me

[eadric]

fear should be (mostly) clear for a few hours yet, lucky you. but yeah, login is busted again =\

[Jozz]

yeah... fear isnt clear at all, friend is busy kiting half the zone waiting for login to be fixed so i can get rezzed >.>

[Striiker]

I am guessing tht when someone zones, they get dropped.. The server population has been going down steadily.. Was at around 560 when I first tried.. now it's at 350 (in 5 minutes)

I was kiting Guard Nash in Qeynos Hills and lost connection, so it appears it's more than just zoning.

Or maybe Qeynos Hills just sucks. Either way, I'm pretty much screw'd when I can log back in.

Huh? i r the original, had this name since day 1 of the server even though its not my main anymore :P

P.s. Shammy friend managed to kite the zone til login came back up... success! we win eq

It's not really the "loginserver" that's "down"

Essentially when this happens there's something wrong with the "World Server" which proxies players between zones and handles other misc related tasks.


If you try to zone in any manner, (be that dying, regular zoning, porting, gating, etc) you will lose connection to the server because the worldserver isn't sending you to the proper zoneserver (or simply isn't working at all.)

How is it fixed? Can a scheduled batch file be set up to reset the service/job that does controls this? Or can this be queried in a scheduled pattern via DB SPs and a fix triggered if the expected result is not returned?
