Changes: Server Save

Revision as of 09:12, 11 August 2008

Once every 24 hours, every game world has to save the changes in characters' stats, levels, items, etc. Before such a server save can take place, all characters in the game world have to be logged out. Therefore, you may get notification messages like:

hh:55 Server is saving game in 5 minutes. Please come back in 10 minutes.
hh:57 Server is saving game in 3 minutes. Please come back in 10 minutes.
hh:59 Server is saving game in 1 minute. Please log out.

hh: hour of server save of that server

You can take a look at http://www.erig.net/servers.php to know the exactly time left before server save. It will take about 15-20 minutes once it started, however it can take longer when it is moved from one data centre to another, or when there are some minor problems to resolve.

Before 2006 summer update, on normal PvP-worlds, you could attack a player, thus getting a skull, and log out one second later. Needless to say, this made server save a very dangerous period.

But now, Cipsoft has changed the rules for logging out before the Server Save. Players can now no longer log out with a White Skull unless they are forced to by the server shutting down.
