Event Problem

[DxD]

I believe you already know that for some reason, server crashes down almost everytime there is an event.
Well first of all, there are too many players on. I don't know how to solve this, but I was thinking about locking server for 10-15 min or maybe creating server with password only system?
Well, I hope some admin will catch up with this topic.

I'd hate to see the server locked. I've encountered it all too often on, for example, the Freeworlds US server. Surely we want people to feel welcome and allowed to get to grips with the game rather than feeling excluded.

That's my two bits.

Don't think it's gonna happen, Athenian. It's been proposed before for other events and the admins didn't go for it.

and what about other option?
to create tiny server with password for event?

You would have to create new characters..

No offense, but have you any idea how selfish that is?

The server will not be passworded or locked, at least for this purpose.

No, it won't be locked. No, you can't password a system. No, there's no point in creating your own server as you'd just have to redo all your characters. Simplest thing to do is to live with the crashes just like you would if you were playing regularly, admins are fixing it the best they can. Though, if you want to invent some kind of ".killallcheaters" command, that'd be good. ^_~

Well, actually, there is one thing that could work perfectly. But it's kind of disapointing :

One solution would be to make a "event plan" that anybody could take a look, then, all non-involved people could receive a message telling them gently to disconnect during the event, in order to allow the server to make it well...

It's kind of weird and irritating, but if anybody do what he has to do, it would work perfectly...

Personnally, I don't expect this idea to be more than reject. I would understand because me either I'm not crazy about it. Just an idea I had to tell...

Basically that would mean that everyone not involved in the event would have to leave the server, hardly fair, as it stands you live with the server crashes, their are too many people who wish to play this game for any idea of restricting acces to be any more than selfish desires. Limiting access will only serve to drive off potential users.

The words, "Not a chance on locking and passwording the server" spring to mind ... Its still a public server,
and open to everyone. That would take off a lot of people who's roleplaying has been running way longer
than an event has been planned ...
Lets keep it real shall we ?
I'm monitoring the server at the moment. Not quite sure what is causing the problem.
