Server Save
From Medivia Online Wiki
Server Save
Once every 24 hours, Medivianic has to save the changes in characters' stats, levels, items, etc. Before such a server save can take place, all characters in the game world have to be logged out. Therefore, you may get notification messages like:
- 04:55 Server is rebooting game in 5 minutes. Please come back in 30 minutes.
- 04:57 Server is rebooting game in 3 minutes. Please come back in 30 minutes.
- 04:59 Server is rebooting game in 1 minute. Please log out.
Here are some recommendations if you are playing shortly before a server save:
- Leave your hunting cave immediately, or at least move your character to a place with little or no respawn. In the past it was common to die shortly after logging in into full spawn.
- If possible, go inside a Protection Zone, Player-killers often wait for server save to prey on others, as they are forced to logout at server save time, which dramatically cuts down the time they are skulled.
- If you are logged out at a dangerous place, try using one of your lower level characters to ask a friend with a level (preferably) equal or higher than yours to "rescue" you by clearing the spawn before you log in, this can potentially save your life, or at least prevent you from wasting a lot of mana or runes.
- Depots are usually reset to their original state after each server save to keep them clean (floor reset), DO NOT put any items you don't want to lose over your depot box (or anywhere else in the depot), people might trash them and you might not be able to rescue them in time.
- Server saves are there to save the data of everybody, so if the server crashes they can look back at the latest server save before the crash, and reset it to that point.
