AO MASS CRASHING Thursday May 11 and after

[Chrisax]

Due to perma-crashing, we have to cancel 12-man raids Thursday. I'll try to schedule some extra raids to compenate our two days of raiding lost (Tuesday and Wednesday) when things are stable again.

We only have this information from FC at the moment, 6 hours ago:

We apologize for the continued server instability. We are working towards a permanent solution. Thank you for your patience with this matter.

[Clan OOC] Fcplzwipe: Good day citizens! As you might have been noticing there was some server instability in the past few days, the attack will continue until dear Funcom does a server restart and wipes all the dupe bags! We know it is frustrating to you players, but its a necessary thing to force FC to actually do something.

At the moment the servers seem ok though.

Soooo something funny happened.
I was talking with someone on discord, and he was showing sympathy and even full on support in my eyes for the crashing-dude.
I was subtly pushing a few buttons and when I believe I got to his limit the server crashes started up again.

The timing was soo right that I seriously dont think it was a coincidence.

In other words, I was dc-ed again just now and i wasnt the only one.

Bit worried by Funcom’s comment that they are working on a ‘permanent solution’.

So an idiot is threatening to sink a ship and its passengers in the middle of the ocean if the company doesn't fix the food for the passengers?! Brilliant.

"Restarting" the servers does nothing to duped items. Only a rollback (restart the servers with a past snapshot of servers' data) would eliminate the duped items created after that snapshot was taken, but no other duped item... and all the items won, trade-skilled, bought, points, xp, etc earned would be lost for everyone.

Any news? I couldn't try to log on yet and I saw no message anywhere so far.

as you prolly already know by now, I think they migitated the issue by disabling account creation:

Thx Mop. ,

The game was totally stable last night and we could have, as planned, one iPande raid and 2 runs for Inferno keys.
