Well the good news is I was able to log in [after trying all day, getting all manner of strangeness]... the bad news is I was only one of about a dozen or fewer that were able to stay in... The interesting thing was the lag, which at one point got so bad... no one could move... not the PC or the Badguys which was strange because we could still type and send tells relatively up to speed.
Don't know if any of this info is helpful or not but I noticed a lot of times when any little obstacle would totally freeze a character... the ability to 'path search' was nil. Sometimes commands would not clear out of the command bar at the top even though they had been completed, and more commands were in cue and firing normally but there would be one or two that would not clear
Some monsters corpses were acting strange... almost 'reanimating' after death and before fading away
Other than lag
it ran well enough considering there were problems.
On average... you could get logged in after about 2 dozen or so tries but no guarantee you could stay logged.
Hope some of that helps maybe in tracing down the root of the problem, but it all seems so disconnected... still I passed it along just in case =)
Good luck. Hope you folks can get it fixed soon.
[wink wink] before folks start having withdrawls from Ravenloft hehehehehehe.
And truthfully while a hacking is always possible... it seems far to random to be a hack... but a virus is possible, or it could just be a script gone awry. Either way all the best to those who have to try to untangle it =) I mean that, sincerely. Ravenloft is my second home...
