Recently chests have stopped spawning loot. now i have been told this is beocuse i have already looted them 3 times and that is the max per server reset is that correct?
If it is how regularly are server resets planed?

Thats correct. And I don't think any server resets are planned. It usually just crashes on it's own often enough that this hasn't really been a problem.
If the server has now achieved super stability status and behaves that way from now on we could look at bumping the limit.

How about a planed reset at the same time once a day? This would likely also reduce crashes.

On another note about chests, I have noticed a few broken ones around as of late. I'm not sure how they break but is there a way to have them autofix them selves? I doubt there is but just a thought, not sure if its been reported yet or not.

Ye, the lids get stuck open sometimes which makes the chest unusable.
I'll take another look around for a solution to this, but I don't think there is one. Every PW with chests has this problem.

I think this happens when you happen to be looking in it as it respawns its loot next time its opened it stays open. maybe if you somehow booted players or checked to see it was not being used before it respawns?

Or perhaps as ovarf suggested in the first post, a server restart once a day, or even once every couple of days. this way the broken chest wont be that way for long. Also wouldn't a server reset help the server run more smoothly.

I have posted this before but I have been noticing a lot of "broken" chests again lately and think a reminder is in order. Just a few helpful hints.
Ways to reduce Chest breakage and be a friendly player:
1. Chests often break because more than one person is opening it at a time. This is probably the number one cause of this effect. Limit chest opening to one person at a time. Loot sharing is very envious sometimes and everyone wants to know whats in there.
2. Performing any action other than looting or X'ing out of the window while having a chest open can and frequently causes breakage. Understood that this is sometimes unavoidable with creatures spawning near by. But, try to avoid other actions like clicking to move to a door or drinking potion and such.
3.Opening a chest during a lag spike can cause this occurrence as well. There is no way to know when this is going to happen so it is almost impossible to avoid. My philosophy is, if the server is currently having lag issues, I avoid chests.
I know this won't solve the problem but it can go a long way to making sure people can enjoy the time they have to game.

There are some in the Orc caves on the surface side. That type will not reset and can only be looted once. I'm not 100% sure if those style chests made their way to the UD or not though? Jlf2n would probably know if the one time chests are in the UD area or not. If that isn't it, probably someone is constantly ninja looting the chests.

They reset every 20 mins.. just lately a lot more players made their way into the UD and there are only 33 chests laying around..
If you are patient enough you will get your share.
To answer luna there are no old chests in the UD.

I was in haunted house today with my lvl 14 toon ... everything went fine untill i got to first chest ... i bashed it open just to recive message along these lines "your level is to high to loot this chest try a harder area "
I am just wondering should it be so as helmed horrors are still challenging to me
