Trader locations occasionally become bugged and that region of the map will need to be deleted to be fixed. These traders will never reopen during the day and constantly teleport you away from them. Please remember not to build next to them in the same region so that your home wont get randomly purged without notice. Best regards and sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

DJ replied to DJ's topic in 7 Days To Die
I leave these old threads open so that they can always be further discussed about or for commenting, however all they are is old and outdated threads. Since the time of this post, we have jumped from several shared hosting companies trying to find the best hosting for our server. After being hosted with all those 3rd party companies we had decided to switch over to a dedicated server instead for better performance. These crashes from our shared hosting providers most likely happened from using up all of the ram on the server due to having multiple game servers on the same machine. We have recently switch to a dedicated server on October 13th and it indeed has been much better and smoother with game play. Our recent SSD hard drive upgrade has also improved game play, regular players that were with us before and after the dedicated server agree. However, the new dedicated server is somewhat of an old relic in terms of servers but it still gets the job done. Upgrading the ram will indeed improve game play, since when their are about 25 players and 80 zombies and 9 animals, the cpu is at about 80% usage and the ram is at about the same most times. However if a player decides to go mining and it collapses the server will use up all the rest of the 20% of ram and the server will freeze. CPU and RAM would be an ideal set of components to upgrade but that could cost hundreds of dollars so RAM may be a better and cheaper alternative for now. I have also included some past screenshots of the performance tab in the task manager that I have been taking of the server to help show you how it runs on most days. The screenshot that maxed out and dropped down was due to a mining incident in the game and I had to restart the server. -
After observing the performance tab in the task manager on the server, when players use TNT or when they are mining a huge underground area and it collapses, the server ends up using all 8gb of ram and it processes all that extra data very slowly since there isn't any more ram left to use. This most likely was the cause of what happened for when you were trying to connect. Here is a screenshot I took of when something similar had occurred and I was forced to restart the server.

The internet provider most likely had dropped a connection at that time. This happens occasionally most likely from having the server being located in a well populated area. Im planning on changing internet providers sometime in the near future, to try to prevent this from happening again. However, the server continues to run regardless of having an internet connection and since then it is now online and available again. Best regards and sorry for any inconvenience that this may have had. -
I have also decided to add a /pawnshop command, to teleport inside of your shop killjoy. Also if other players have a location they would like to have a custom slash command for to teleport to, then reply below.
-
Traders locations are now available to teleport to by using /trader1, /trader2, and so on up to six different traders.
-
I decided to leave the maximum amount of available /zgates to 3. I will however add custom commands to teleport to known trader locations to help free up those extra /zgates since the trader locations are teleported to often. I will setup those teleportation commands to trader locations soon. Best regards.

Resetting your skills seems uneccessary to do since it is not bug related. Their are always other ways to gain more skill points to help maximize your skills with normal gameplay. Furthermore, since this game is still in development and is early access there will be additional resets on everyones data and skills in the future. Therefore, I have decided to decline your request to get your skill points reset based on the fact that this game is still early access and future resets with the server will occur. Best regards.

Server has been upgraded and is now back online.

IT HAS ARRIVED... ... I hope you are as excited as I am now that the SSD hard drive has arrived in the mail today. The server is gonna go offline for awhile so that I can install this SSD hard drive and reinstall window server 2008 OS and set everything back up as before. I will post when it has finished and is ready to play on. Check back soon.

A conversation was started today about upgrading the ram as well as the SSD hard drive which is currently on its way. The SSD hard drive was also delayed in the mail and hopefully will arrive by tomorrow so that it can be installed soon. As far as the ram goes, its currently at 8gb right now and for an 8gb upgrade of ram costs about $62 for a server. I would like to upgrade the server to 32gb of total ram available to have an excellent server that will be dedicated to only 7 days to die. Most of the problems that caused the server to freeze up is mostly due to a limited amount of ram available. This upgrade is optional and anyone can donate if they would like to however, to reach 32gb of ram it will cost between $200 and $300, depending on what is purchased. The server is a Dell Poweredge T110 and is running on windows server 2008 operating system. All donations are appreciated but never required. I am also willing to put all of next months donations towards this upgrade rather than to the monthly operating expenses, which I will cover the costs. Furthermore, I will post more information about this upgrade when I find compatible ram for the server and also I will post more information about the server specs. If any one has any comments or questions at all, please don't hesitate to reply to this thread. Best Regards.

Your welcome.

This game is early access and you should just start over since this game is full of bugs and other places will also need to be deleted and regenerated eventually. I am unable to give complete inventories of everything that was lost to hundreds of players that connect to the server due to bugs in the game. So far there has been about 723 different players that have connected to this world and this amount will continue to rise. What I am able to do is give you 15k casino coins to help you get re-established since items are more easily obtained now by visiting trader locations and player made shops. Best Regards. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused but areas of the map will need to get wiped eventually with or without notice. However, does 15k casino coins sound fair to you to help you get re-established or should I look for another solution for this?

The rules for this are as follows: If any of our server admins start causing problems and abusing their powers please let us know immediately by replying to this post. Admins that we have allowed to help us out to keep order in our servers as well as keeping it a positive and a fun server to play on, do not represent Red Hat Gamers in any way whatsoever, since they are players too. Some admins on rare occasions may start acting up and causing problems towards our servers and community. If an admin is causing problems such as harassing players, insulting players, using racist, hateful, and bigotry talk, or even going as far as breaking our server rules, Please Let Us Know. All admins must follow the same server rules as everyone else in order to keep their status as an admin. Please post any abuse from any of our chosen admins by taking a screenshot or video of their activities, chat, etc. and share it with us by replying to this post. http://www.redhatgamers.com/topic/91-report-admin-abuse-here/

I had moved the spawn location to the central city at a location with walls and such, however the old mountain spawn will still be available by using /whataview, and stark towers teleport will now be /stark. I will set those up soon as well as removing those lcb's at /whataview, so it can be more easily maintained and altered. Also since those two locations seem to be really well known on the server they can now be more easily visited.

I have purchased a 256GB SSD Hard Drive and a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter to fit our server for $86.98 of the $113.46, that was donated. Thank you for everyone that had donated and the unused funds will go towards next months expenses. I will install this, sometime tomorrow so that we will be able to have a better and more enjoyable server. Best Regards.

The bugged trader that is located north of the central hub at: 2270 N - 297 W, will be deleted and regenerated since it is always closed. This will be done during the next server restart, sometime tomorrow which will result in that region to be regenerated. Any other trader locations that are always closed due to some bug, please post here and I will fix them.

So far it has just been for server admins and that information is restricted only to the admins forum. However player rules will be updated within the next day or two to help reflect those new rules. Best Regards.

Your welcome, and that's good to know that we have found a solution.

Server down for routine maintenance and will be back online shortly. Best Regards.
