Return of Reckoning

HOTFIX NOTES 08/01/2017

[General]

Natherul and Hargrim
- Forced freeing up of ram on zone lock (this may in some cases cause a big lagspike on a zone lock, but its better then a server crash because ram is full). This will be reverted once we find what exactly is eating this ram and why its not being released.
Natherul
- No more cross realm talk, staff is excluded from this.
- Backend work.

[Scenario]

So you have to do rvr to the end now? Even if it drags for hours or lose the contribution and bag chance?

Omg...

Correct, this is temporary so that I can attain if this is the issue eating all the RAM of the server and thus crashing it.

Fair enough, hits casual players hard but you need to figure out these issues in order to fix them.

Guess it makes no difference if you go offline or crash and log back in a minute later, right?

Hope they find the RAM issue soon, I anticipate a massive increase in afks in RvR.

- Going into negative initiative values should no longer make you uncritable, instead a crit will always happen

Thats quite interesting, tho I am at odds with the wording - negative initiative? Is 'initiative' being used as an umbrella term for crit reductions?

- Contribution should now be removed from a player if he goes offline (this is a temporary thing to find the cause of random server crashes related to RAM usage)

Whoah that's big, perhaps we could get double renown as a compensation until it's fixed?
