my old 486 boots faster than that.

Do you really think that restarting a DDO game server cluster is the same as rebooting a PC?

This is something we are actively looking into, and may well be doing in the near future. The current target is a possible memory leak with our AI pathing system, which seems likely given recent reports of pathing issues.

This is VERY GOOD TO HEAR!

I am not a cove hater but seems to have degraded a lot since cove started.

A large scale server is not an old desktop. It's complaints like this that try to make Turbine look bad, but in reality, those that make them have no idea of what is involved. It is comparable to someone who rebuilds a lawn mower engine in an afternoon and complains that a diesel ship engine takes weeks to repair.

Better that, though, than opening the worlds with an issue that could cause serious problems.

Please understand - I got nothing but love, and a boat load of money each month, for you guys.

But that just made me **** near **** myself laughing.

Granted, my sense of humor often leaves others confused.

Which is a heavy user of the pathing AI.

Aye, I think cove kobold pathing being wonky was a symptom of the problem.
Pathing gets bad cove or no cove a long way out from a restart.

Awesome. Thanks!

I still recommend weekly restarts of the DDO as I have for years, however bi-monthly would probably work just as well, and would be less white glove inspection time for the staff.
