World server not responding to logins

[Hollywood]

Hi Anathuril,

Login server is fine, Blue is not.

A known problem for quite a while now.

We've all made good and useful suggestions on how to go about either addressing the issue when it arises(i.e. not having to wait six hours until an admin notices a problem) or the cause of the issue itself.

Greetings Hollywood -
Yes - that is what I said - login server fine, blue (world) server is down.

I think this is a bug in the zone entry code, which would explain the reason for the slowly declining population and the timing of when I get knocked off and the failure is occurring. Smacks of a resource allocation problem - like someone not checking return of a malloc and/or leaking memory. Seen plenty of those in my programming days.

So - are you telling me there is no forum or thread that developers/maintainers watch for people reporting servers going down like this? I guess I could post something in the technical discussion area ...
