REBOOT Occasionally an immortal requires that the mud be rebooted so that a change can be put into effect. Other times the shared strings reach the max usage, and the mud needs to be rebooted to prevent high cpu usage. And almost all crashes can be detected and a reboot occurs. All these reboots are what we call hot reboots, in which players do not lose link, but rather, they just experience a lag for a couple seconds while the mud reboots. Here is a list of what is saved during reboots. All cabal items. All eq in pits unless they are melt_drop. All corpses on the ground. All eq on the ground unless they are melt_drop or repop in that room. Ghost status. Here is a list of what is not saved during reboots. Equipment on mobs (this includes your charmies). Keys on both mobs, the floor, and those you are carrying. Excess rare equipment in inventory. (See also: HELP RARE) There is a weekly maintenance reboot at Sunday 1:50am PT.
