Login/Patch Server Outages - COMPLETE!

Starting today, there will be periodic outages of the Public Login and Patch servers while I attempt to upgrade a rather ancient Linux host to something more current. This likely only affects dev servers, since our player population is, well, non-existent. Still, I felt a heads up would be nice
Task Completed!
We're all upgraded!

There is much about me that is a mystery, my underlings.

So was what happened a moment ago a planned outage or did I crash the server? :/

That was you? Yes, something crashed that we're trying to identify.
What exactly were you doing? It might help. Thanks!

I was just talking to the first person, The Vahshir in the qeynos starting area. Mur-something I think.

I think your memory is worse than mine. The logs showed the last thing you did was go pick a fight with a sparring partner

But I was hoping you knew exactly what you did to start that fight. Walk up, swing at him. Stand at a distance, cast. Call his mom a fatherless wench. etc.

Wuuuut? Thats impossible. I remember figuring out that it crashed because I could not complete his dialog, so I tried to camp out but it wouldn't let me.

I think It was playing either the human warrior Vicomte or Bhajan the bard. Probably Vicomte...

Well, that's embarrassing. Teach me to not verify my assumptions! I had you confused with another crashee

Sorry about that.

Truly, you are the Hail crasher. Though I am fairly certain it was coincidence. Probably those other battling NPCs triggered something, and you were the unlikely victim. We really should figure this one out

Can that be an official title? Hahaha.
Is there anything I do to prevent this?
