	Downtime/hardware upgrade Sometime tomorrow FNW is going to bring us down, and switch us over to the new box. He has limited time, so he is only going to do the switch, and boot the box. Hopefully, I'll be able to do the rest of the work from here and get us back up. If not, well then we'll have some downtime until FNW can get back over to the server farm. For those interested in the new specs we'll be running: Dual Quad Core Intel Xeons @ 1.6GHz per Core Socket 771 4GB ECC FB-DIMM DDR2 300GB Mirrored array (Hello InnoDB tables!) Gentoo Linux We should see a significant boost in performance, and hopefully lag should be reduced drastically. Also, I should actually be able to get work done when there are 200+ on :)

	Change your passwords! All, It is imperative that you change all EQEmu and PEQ related passwords immediately. That includes this forum, the EQEmu forums, the login server, passwords for other game servers, and email addresses tied to these accounts that use the same password.

	End of an ordeal Our drive seems to be OK after re-seating the power cable. It's still going to be watched, of course. We've done a full backup, and have made sure our redundancy system is working properly. So, it would appear this ordeal is over. Welcome back! Please make sure to read the last two changelogs, and keep an eye out on the changes. Some good things were added and I want to make sure they all work properly.

	Daily reboots The automated reboot system worked great after a couple small changes to the scripts involved. That means that every day at 7AM EST, the server will REBOOT (not reset like it previously has done.) The downtime each morning should be about 7-8 minutes or so. This means that: All corpses will be sent to Shadowrest daily, whether they have been in the world for 24 hours or not. I could have written the script to grep the date and time and insert it into the sql query, but simply moving everybody was just easier. All database changes that require a reboot will take effect, hopefully cutting down on bug reports that are reported multiple times but have already been corrected ;) Any quests that are in the server directory will take effect. Dealing with quests is still a manual system that I have to do. Unlike database changes, changes to quests *may* not get in every morning due to this. Finally, this should make the issue where world freaks out and decides to chain crash after 2 days a non factor. The problem isn't fixed, but it shouldn't occur anymore with these daily reboots. I am aware that daily reboots may completely break or open up certain events to exploit. Quest team members will work on the stuff they know about, but please report issues on the forums! Do not take advantage of these weaknesses. These changes will be good for the EQEmu community as a whole anyway, as most people do not have the resources to run a dedicated cluster like SOE can. Also, please keep in mind that there still may be manual reboots during the day to patch the server code. While I could automate this as well, I would prefer to do it myself to ensure nothing goes wrong.
