I updated the spells file and had everyone download it, and that solved some of the problems with unknown spell issues, but not all of them, and the zones continued to crash.
I'm not sure, but in addition to the original recommendation, but this may have been related to cast times < -1. I run this each time I source the PEQ DB:
Code:
-- Fix negative cast times on items (client freezing)
UPDATE items SET casttime = 0, casttime_ = 0 WHERE casttime < -1;
Now granted, I've learned a lot since then and could probably add a fix to correct the bug in the source (there wasn't a check for anything < -1), I just haven't revisited it.

I could use someone to help me. My only concern is that I use my server as more of a development server & will probably start migrating it to the SVN so I can compile changes & test them a lot easier, so I don't know if having someone to take their time to help manage the server would be a good thing. I know if I took more time to improve the server (tweaking respawn times, add NPCs with starting gear, etc), it would generate a lot more users than it does currently (about 7 around peak times), I just have a lot on my plate, which makes it extremely difficult.

If it's something you're interested in, shoot me a PM and we can see what's what. I'll be off most of this week, so I would have a good opportunity to get everything setup if you are interested.
