Coding with ice flames

Ice Flames cause server crashes when they time out after being casted, until this problem can be addressed, I ask they are removed from the game. Sorry if this has been brought up before

Its to many spells in a given amount of time I think...

its just ice fields, i've seen spam casting before and it doesen't crash like that, only lags out

wouldn't think it was that Garett, unless it's recent. i cast plenty of spells in a given set of time even with alot of people on and nothing seems to happen. but as i said i haven't used an ice fire in months, so if thats the common occurance whenever the server crashes then it is probably the cause.

its been the cause for a while, I've heard similar stories in many posts "there was a fight, and I casted an ice flame, and the server died"

But theres a variable we do not know yet... its not just flames, its something else...

Aslong as i know the iceflame + a dieing char creates a crash.
What i don't know is, if the char must die by iceflame, move out of ice flame, move in iceflame, die and move out and so on and so on...just don't use them.

A better solution is to have them removed, people forget. Ice fields are a common tactic for mages, people screw up sometimes.
