Yep, the server "freezing" has become an issue.
Since I can't login and check it a lot of the times, I've added a trivial Perl script that connects to the meta server, and, if it doesn't see rohnan up, it'll restart the server automatically.
It'll also be restarting it once a day at 00:00 est or so (midnight for you civillians)... Plan for this in play since there aren't currently any built in "warnings" it's about to happen. I'll try to stick it in the MOTD though.
this is being done to fix the other prevalent problem, the inscription bug. This one only occurs if the server's been up nonstop for many days.
Please let me know if this creates any problems. The server restarts should be instantaneous.

Re: Server restarts
Could the server be restarted please, as
yesterday inscribing was broken.
Also, something to do with this crashed my inventory
it then would not not show my character moving on
the client (although the server moved it anyway)
I think that i fixed it by uniscribing all of my books and
waiting for the client to crash
However, the inscribe quarks need reseting.
