This is the last massive VM based update before the server migrates into it's new 64bit, module directory loaded, high prioritized threading on OC'ed Xeon class Quad Core processors.
Expect a significant performance allowance over the next couple of days. Downtime will be for 5 - 10 minutes from this post.

Since you seen to expect it I won't disappoint you.
Why isn't the server back up yet?

*Clears throat* The VM software didn't approve of the custom linux kernel I modified, and as a result of the VM, nor physical hardware of the system ever going down for the past 161 days, the VM didn't output an error until a full shutdown was required of the VM to update the timer fixes. So I get to now nurse the kernel back to health through screens like the following:
CC fs/quota_v2.o
CC fs/quota.o
CC fs/dnotify.o
CC fs/dcookies.o
LD fs/built-in.o
CC ipc/compat.o
CC ipc/util.o
CC ipc/msgutil.o
CC ipc/msg.o
ipc/msg.c: In function âsys_msgctlâ:
ipc/msg.c:341: warning: âsetbuf.qbytesâ may be used uninitialized in this function
ipc/msg.c:341: warning: âsetbuf.uidâ may be used uninitialized in this function
ipc/msg.c:341: warning: âsetbuf.gidâ may be used uninitialized in this function
ipc/msg.c:341: warning: âsetbuf.modeâ may be used uninitialized in this function
CC ipc/sem.o
ipc/sem.c: In function âsys_semctlâ:
ipc/sem.c:809: warning: âsetbuf.uidâ may be used uninitialized in this function
ipc/sem.c:809: warning: âsetbuf.gidâ may be used uninitialized in this function
ipc/sem.c:809: warning: âsetbuf.modeâ may be used uninitialized in this function
CC ipc/shm.o
CC ipc/mqueue.o
CC ipc/compat_mq.o
LD ipc/built-in.o
CC security/keys/key.o
etc, etc. Essentially the game server is running in a virtualized windows environment loaded onto a linux OS. Unfortunately, the VM system decided to not play nice at the wrong time to do so. Should be done with this shortly, as well as making a future backup plan for redundancy's sake.

Why do I get the idea that HMV just suckered me?

Hey, at least the pitchforks and torches aren't lighting up your task bar like mine.  As soon as the kernel completes it's compiling cycle and dumps into a folder only two steps are away from getting the server back online. The VDI was tested last night on the new kernel locally, which yielded in being able to run about 200 simutaneous spawns in different locales with the latest 6_4 module, and a possible end all solution to the damned day/night time bug. |

*Readies a pitchfork and torch in case the server doesn't make it back online within 10 minutes*
*Pokes HMV with the pitchfork* You had better not mess up mister.

so...... umm........ any update yet? My girl finally went back to work after being on vacation for like a month and the server crashes shortly after I begin playing. I don't think life can get much worse. Oh, wait it just did, I just realized I'm out of beer. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Kernel recompiled, restarted, reverted, recompiled with a new adjustment, VM now loading, verifying that the fixes worked...

It's online. Sorry for the inconveniences folks, but the adjustments benefits you.  |

I use this while at work.
