Wait like 6 hours for Loftar to wake up and then something around 6 more hours for server to be up (I think).

Loftar, I've just been wondering,
for some reason the server seems to have many problem regarding "hard-drive"

I don't know if you're currently using this "SSD" for your drive or not (afaik its the now current technology)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

The only drawback on SSD is only their capacity data capacity and THEIR PRICE,
So i think it would be wise to buy a probably a suitable one for the server's sake.

No good idea for a Server or a NAS. Sure, its faster, but you cant overwrite on SSD`s as much as on HD`s. Data and the SSD wont hold that long i think.

Any idea if this problem could cause a loss of world data?
I mean if there is the risk of loosing characters or the entire world?

Loftar stated that that's not possible anymore worst thing that could happen is something wrong with server so we have to wait longer. But the data is safe at least from the transfer

Keep up the good work! but btw you should consider removing the hhp loss for TRESPASSING scents. Cuz loosing hhp for looking in stuff even if you dont take anything is pretty annoying...

Make that "Consider upping it to 5 hhp". At least now its a step in the right directioin. Though it just means all the juvenile griefers are running around with towels on their heads and most of them could care less about the 250 hhp they'd have to lose to do any harm. you aren't SUPPOSE to be on their property "looking at stuff", just because you decide not to steal it doesn't mean you aren't trespassing.
