Wolfery is experiencing downtime due to a bug that has gotten a bit out of hand. This thread is for non-bug-related discussions relating to the outage.
First! :3 (Darn it I need more than 20 chars)

Any idea of the source yet?

The outage is believed to be caused by a bunch of people rushing off to experience a bug by performing an action they were explicitly told not to do.

Not precisely. Acci’s unavailable annnnd I forget when he gets back so I’m not certain when we’ll get clarity.
From the facts we have so far it seems that characters get desynced from some kind of server state and I kind of wonder if the bad API calls are spinning.

We don’t know that expressly. Things were getting worse before then.

I admit, I am guessing. But I doubt it helped.

What kind of server do you guys have, hosted by third party?

This is not an issue with the physical server. It’s an issue with the code running on it, probably involving infinite loops, so a different hosting wouldn’t have made any real difference.

Oh, am just wondering

It’s at a managed hosting provider, and is bigger than the ‘potato’ we used to run on. We’ve discussed some changes to improve that but it wouldn’t have helped here like Kai said.

Because at least with the potato you can easily monitor ressources, in order to check what’s wrong

For example if you have overflowing incoming network connections then you can practically be sure this has nothing to do with your code

This forum and the mucklet test server are okay, so it’s not an issue with the actual host.

Are they hosted on the same server?

Left my machine on. Sorry if I had anything to do with it.

Oh yeah. to test.mucklet.com, everyone. I guess. Boss wolf doesn’t mind us using it. Usually? 
Note: Don’t do anything you expect to be permanent there, it gets overwritten… dailyish.
