strange world roll back...

Hi, about 5 minute ago, the server logged me out... when I logged in, the time was backforwarded!

My brother lost 1.30h game playng building bricks...
I lost only few rocks pieces...

What happened?

Happens from time to time, depending on what Lofter or Jorb were doing when it happened.
Could be them fixing bugs and changed the wrong thing...
Accidentally it could have been a server crash that had deleted the time up till it and a few minutes before, leaving Lofter to rollback to those few minutes....

Make theories, blame the matrix. This is an Alpha. Whatever but have a look at your LP, you should have the same amount you had earned just before the crash...

The server physically rebooted itself twice today. I've no idea why since the server is at Jorb's place and he seems to be asleep right now. Another computer at his place did not reboot, so it doesn't seem to be a power outage. Maybe Jorb is sleeping with the power cord tangled up in his toes or something.

That is horribly, horribly disturbing.

I was away at work. I've no clue what happened earlier. Came home to find my internet down and found my computer not responding. Reboot fixed it. Still no clue on what happened.

I'm very curious...
what "machine" are you using as application server?
and what OS?

If the server crashed I could see some log files to help you...

Oh, if only it were that easy. The logs don't contain anything unusual at all; one line is normal activity, the next is the start of the boot sequence. If there were any warnings that could indicate hardware instability, I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed.

For reference, the server is running Debian, and hardware-wise it's an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ with 1 GB of RAM.
