Downtime

[Rogean]

Mob spawn time is calculated at death. It is stored in memory, and, in case of zone restart, also stored in database. It is based off Unix Timestamp + the generated respawn time of the mob (if it has variance), resulting in a spawn time. If the zone is running this timestamp is checked often if it has triggered (Spawntime < Currenttime ?). These calculations happen rapidly probably every second. If the zone boots up, it loads those timestamps from database, and continues to check them.

Thus, spawn timers are not affected by the zone being up or not.

How would hadden be handled then? Would the server assume he despawned?

Cause asking a tech this question usually just adds time to the eta...(better to let em work on geting it back online)

Because Asking this kind of question rarely does anything useful other then distract Rogean from what hes doing to answer it.

If they are still down, obviously its still being worked on.. when its done.. they will be back up?! If a problem happens, I'm sure Rogean will share more info.

He's responding to other posts, but responding to this one would be distracting?.....

Considering that we are past the 3 hour mark, the servers will be up "Soon".
