Thanks Secrets for helping me with the install for the EZ Server on our new hardware!

The database is running on a Solid State Drive so the server should be faster than ever.

Yes, zone crashes still occur with AE's.

Don't believe me? Can send me a /tell in game and I'll gladly show you in PoFire with my Warrior.

Femme, please don't spread FUD unless you are sure of your information. I killed 150+ in PoF with my warrior at one shot and hit rampage no issues, zone didn't lag/reboot while the server was under load.

Secrets/Hunter also provided this image which shows Hunter killing every single mob in PoF at the same time without an issue.

I'm not saying the new hardware upgrade did nothing. All I'm saying is that the opportunity of crashing a zone is still there.

However, as for T3/T4 - I have no idea why we are still crashing up there. Basher appeared on /w all to be with us, maybe he can shed some light if the server side has any datail/info about it.

I am thinking that when we use #hatelist, it pulls from the server so much info for 24-30 toons to be called up and when multiple players use it at once, it leads to a lock up. Which is why we have so many crashes - mostly around a boss's death.

2 Nights ago in Nexus, I told my guildies in vent that it seems converting a huge amount of coins to copper and moving it to bank quickstyle also crashed the zone. I replicated that 2 more time that night. Tried now and obvious performance upgrades seems to have fixed that.

Sorry I must be missing it, I don't see a zone connect message in those pictures indicating a zone crashed?

How many times do we hear PoFire crashed over the months but we never see a zone reconnect... Like I said, just pointing out: Crashing a Zone is still possible when over pulling.

I was using Rampage + Aug V x4.
I think the Aug 5 when it kills a bunch of mobs all at once, that's when it causes a zone to hiccup/lockup

Anytime that a zone connects (zone.exe, statically or dynamically) you get a zone connection message.  If your client crashed then that is a different issue.  Time for a hardware upgrade, broski.  Does Newegg ship to Nicaragua?

Here is the issue.  Whatever you dip shits are doing in T3/T4 to crash it needs to stop time now.  Saying that "oh with XYZ I can still crash PoF" to cloud the issue and direct attention away from your intentional crashes of T3/T4 is childish.

You are confusing your client crashing with the zone crashing. If a zone crashes you will see a yellow zone message.
