Mud Down

Post by aaiyee »

Hello,
I'm just wondering what's up with the mud lately? It's going down and coming back on. Xard said the mud is on, but I can't connect.

It was frozen up yesterday morning, and I rebooted it. I can happily connect now, so if you're still having problems then they are likely at your end of the line.

What is the relevance of anyone wanting to stop themselves from being capped to the mud crashing ?

You are seriously kidding me .

Actually the mud was down because of a broken pfile, someone who hadn't logged on in years. All fixed now.

And how exactly would they crash the mud?

If you can give me one verifiable way of crashing the mud - I will give you a harpoon.

I do this because I doubt anybody is doing this and I think you're misinformed.

I do assure you, however, that my word is good.

We crop incoming and outgoing text to 30KB. If we receive more than that in one packet from a player we throw it away and disconnect them immediately.

So basically, you heard that people on other muds cheat so you assume it happens here.... sorry... no.

I'll be nice and not "woop" you - go play the game and stop spreading baseless rumors.
