World Server Disconnects

**trevius** · #1 09-19-2008, 06:37 PM

I am not sure what is causing this, but recently I started noticing an much high frequency of World Server Disconnects on my server. I have seen these in the past, but it was pretty rare and only happened when I was using the admin tool that comes with the emulator to search for accounts/character names. Now they are occurring randomly every 1 to 4 hours it seems. I can't seem to find any common thing that could be causing this.

When this happens, it doesn't crash the zones, but it does crash anyone that tries to zone. Then they can log back in again. But, it gets very annoying I am sure to people who box 3 characters and have to relog each one every couple of hours.

Here is what I am seeing in game:

Code:

ZServer BROADCASTS, 'WARNING: World server connection lost'

Zone connect: Dreadspire Keep
Zone connect: Nexus
Zone connect: Crushbone
Zone connect: The Plane of Time
Zone connect: Guild Hall

Etc until it lists all dynamic zones in use.

And here are some of the logs from when that has happened:

These are 4 different times that it occured

Code:

And here are more detailed logs from when those occur (note that I changed all player names in these logs to "Player"):

If anyone else has been seeing this problem more lately, maybe we can all work together and figure out what is causing it. This is starting to get more than just a little annoying now. The problem with troubleshooting is that it takes at least a day to test each step. I plan to possibly revert back to some older code that I know didn't do this and see if that resolves it. If not, then I plan to remove all level 75 discs which were added recently. After that, I will have to look at quest scripts and see if one of them could possibly be causing it.
