Posted May 28, 2021 Around 3:30pm server time on Friday, May 28th we began noticing sinkholes and spikes appearing due to tickets submitted by players. These holes and spikes were not always visible to players until after relogging into the game. After investigating, we decided to perform an emergency shutdown to prevent further damage to the terrain. Upon closer investigation, we discovered a bug in a change to the animal grazing code, which we believe to be the cause of the terrain damage. When updating a tile to reflect the change in grazing, the height must be specified. Unfortunately the wrong height was being passed in, leading to unintended changes to the terrain. Players affected by this issue should use the in-game ticket system to request help in rectifying the terrain damage. Edit: After bringing the servers online, a crash bug was discovered requiring us to bring all servers offline for a hot fix. We apologize for the inconvenience. 31 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Yes. Independence did not come up after the hotfix. Xanadu was shortly up, allowed login, then lagged a lot and was down. Edit: Went up once more, lagged and crashed after 2min ca. Edited May 28, 2021 by Ekcin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the wrong height was being passed in, leading to unintended changes to the terrain. This is honestly an amazing bug and I wish I could have seen it happen live. Just the possibility of a character being on a tile the moment it’s grazed into a spike/sinkhole and the resulting fall damage… ”What do you mean I was killed by a grazing cow??” 😂 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
