10/22/08 -

We will be having a brief server maintenance tonight in which we will reduce the amount of spam that Duke is putting out during the Halloween Event.

The expected maintenance time will be 11pm PST.

This post will be updated with more information as it becomes available.

UPDATE:

As promised, the maintenance was short and the servers are already back up.

Duke Blacke will no longer spam for a majority of the rewards given from the Halloween Boxes. He will still announce when someone wins a Midnight mount.

The Spiritual Disciple, an NPC that was missing since the last patch has been restored on all servers.

    There was a multipage thread of Heaven's Tear people about to commit acts of wanton violence against the Duke to shut him up. It shouldn't take long for this to be fixed and the server to come back up.

    The Duke is not a player but an NPC. His shouts showed as system messages and he literally spammed the chat for the last 24 hours or so. I don't know how anyone was supposed to read chats normally with him! b:laugh

    Wanton violence == trying to beat with spiky or sharp things. Since the Duke is an NPC, that wouldn't work too well, but all the people trying could cause nasty slowdown when he migrates toward West Archosaur.

    More details here.

    Changes to NPCs usually require specialized tools, rather than the ones dedicated toward dealing with players.

    I'm not familiar with the server backend, but as a general rule, I've never had a good time making updates to hardware in active use. Even with dedicated devices like a Cisco 2800, you can end up with really nasty effects. Changing an active server executable goes from nasty to actively dangerous. It's a matter of safety.
