today i noticed that some accounts got corrupted recently.
affected accounts:
Fukuta
Lycoris_03
PKnowledge
aroe
dimna_dignity666
k_chicken
karutasu
kiyot
masaonpu
mokemoke
new
nilnill
otousan
pengTST
tadpole
taigadorago
tanpopo
tentei_pen
you7777
yutomin
yuyuyu

and there are about 3 more, i fixed earlier so i don't remember names.

this is really serious problem, i think this may be some kind of bug is mono virtual machine (some kind of memory corruption?).
this issue is also related to this problem: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26 .
i will recover broken accounts from backup as soon as possible, and i will also try to prevent this from happening again.
TOP may be down few times today as i am working on this problem.

all broken accounts were recovered from backup, sorry for inconvenience.

i hope this won't happen anymore, but if one days your account stop working, and it says "connecting to server" forever, let me know and i will restore it quickly.

OK, seems that reason for this issue is apache server using all available ram at some peaks, causing game server process to fail and do wierd things. for now i limited apache to don't use as much resources, but only solution would be to move to server with more ram.

There was small accident 2 days ago and some accounts got broken. I just restored those accounts, sorry for trouble. Some affected accounts:
FFFFFire
reicha1
siruku
zxc915138
g850527

Some data are stored still stored in files, so this is why such problems can occur on unexpected errors. I will move everything to database eventually so such accidents won't happen.

Another disaster. Sadly I don't have to time to redesign things, so this will keep happening from time to time.
