I understand that issues will arise but how about a post explaining things so we atleast know it is getting worked on and the server computer is not just sitting by with the devs jerking off.

One of those guys who jerks off rather than reads the entire thread? Rogean explained the issue on page ONE and told everybody they are having/have been having trouble with it.

p99 the only server that is pre luclin?

Yeah, now Uncle Jack, who's not taking the down time so well, keeps babbling about "All work and no Everquest" making him a "dull boy" or something...

IMO all this login server crashing is a lead up to a large GM event. The "lore" is some big baddie has been messing with the strands of reality in Norrath, causing people to suddenly disappear upon entering a new area, or for sleeping warriors to be unable to wake up!

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE WORK OF HACKANNON! We defeated him once before, but we must band together as comrades in arms in order to defeat the supersteroid-trakanon that has come back to destroy the server once more.

Rogean, how do you know its heap corruption specifically?

There's some detection support native to ms c++ : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.85%29.aspx dunno if that would help or not.

You can get malloc ( or new and delete ) wrappers too that will let you do allocation logs and so forth.

Bunch of various memory/allocation/heap tools here too :

I'm in total favor of the server effort to help fix the server problem. I can't help because I'm useless, but I'll cheer you guys on. Hope you guys look at these options and see if they will work!
