When servers crash

Post by overtyped »

I have been thinking about how Loftar always seems awake to reboot the servers when they crash, and fix the bug that caused it.

Does he have some kind of alarm that goes off when he's sleeping, or is it like this?

Wake up Potter, it's time to go to the server room.

Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

I indeed have an alarm, but that is also a bit how it feels when the alarm goes off on the middle of the night, so I'm not sure how excludes the other. :)

While Bob Dole is uncertain about how Loftar managed to pick the lock and escape from the server room, once again, he has cast a pall over everyone's enjoyment with his somber reality.

Back to the shadows with you, DEVELOPER.

Thors, nothing about you is very original, but your dogged determination to keep up the bob dole thing after all these years and still speaking in third person is pretty impressive, I don't respect you but I can appreciate you the same way I appreciate all the participants of the special Olympics, always trying their best and having fun while they do it no matter what their damage is

I loved the story of the status updates, even though I only refreshed four times.

"Debugging..."
"Fixing the bug..."
"Fixing the bugfix..."
"The server is up!"
