I cannot log on as sean-san or anyone else of my chars! I am now getting frustrated, if this is necro work there will be hell to pay, if it is GM or bror, I wish to know why?

It is like awhile back when the server crashed but held everyone online,

Maybe the server is down. I can't get online; oh well maybe tommorow.

@lasukie: Ok, so since ther server was not down HOURS AGO, therefore you conclude the server is up NOW and someone is controlling your character??? You know, there's a difference between NOW and HOURS AGO. Sorry lasukie, but sometimes you really just don't make any logical sense.

when I logged off yesterday for the last time, I had gotton severe lag and decided to continue later, I checked to see if the server crashed on server status it said 31march, when I tried to log on hours later server status said april 1st, either the clock continues when server crashes or someone or something logged onto my char and drove him around, I guess we will find out now.

just to state it one time:
i, and i assume all other GMs/gods/whatever, won't answer to postings with such subjects.
stop yelling, don't put names into subjects, calm down and ask a question if you have some which you can't answer yourself.

So if the server status displays the current date it means the server didn't crash yesterday, but it doesn't mean it didn't crash sometime today before you logged in you know, so your assumptions are invalid unless you logged in at precisely April 1, 00:00:01 o'clock GMT.

When the server program crashes, the server computer gives out new online statistics with a changing date and time, but with the same people online who were playing when the server crashed or up to 5 minutes before. Well something like that.

I supposed, that old players know that they will be shown as logged in when the server crashes, since the same question is answered in average 2 times every server crash. Thats about 20 times since you play and read the board.

The reason why "sean-san" can't log in is simple. As far as I know he has died.

Sean san, it sounds like they are making fun of youl

but hey, I was thinking the same thing as you except I didnt post because I had a preminision as to what the problem was

Yes, as far as I have noticed, the time and date are constantly updated even when the server is down. Tell-tale signs of server crash (NOT a character ban):

- Cannot log in with any character.
- Date and time are still moving and server status is ONLINE.
- Exact same people are on the server status page constantly in the same spot.

The most common response to these things are "Am I banned?" or "What is wrong with my character?!"

Hopefully this prevents this question from being asked thousands of times during a server crash.

It won't.
