Server crash/shutdown

[cptziggy]

Hello,
in the recent event of server shutdown I have a question. During the crash/shutdown i have performed fight with moose. I assume, that if server will be up again I'll be knocked down, because mooses don't often kill players with full HHP, and propably i'm standing there inactive receiving hits. But it make me wonder, what If I was fighting with a mammoth/bear and will die because server crash. Can I request character restore, or it will be dead, and admins will do nothing about this?

When the server crashes everything goes to a halt. The moose should've stopped attacking you.

When the server comes up, you should be out of combat unless you happen to log in to a bear standing next to you (or some such).

However, during the moment of the crash, sometimes the processes don't end immediately. There is a chance you should have taken a couple of hits without being able to react to them. Unless the combat was going really badly, there's no reason you should get KO'd with the current combat, let alone killed.

If you do happen to die like this, sorry, no character restores. At least that's the general policy. It's a two man dev team producing "alpha grade" software. Crashes, errors, and data loss can be occasionally expected. It also takes a good bit of time to research such things. It doesn't hurt to ask, but just go into with that understanding. Best if you can fully explain the situation if you do get to this point.

Good news is if you can get your body, skull, and have a realm to give the body a state funeral, you get a very large portion of LP and attributes back. Almost like a death penalty instead of permadeath.

I was fully armoured 500HHP hunter, so moose managed to eat only 100points hp during my inactive, but out of curiosity I wanted to know, what will eventually happpen in the case of black scenario.

Thanks for answer. Now I know.
