It seems the server must reset at 5am UK time every monday and friday -- this is not negotiable, some Wireplay policy, I think.

The timing's of course rather unfortunate for people across the pond, as that's "prime time" on monday and friday nights. The server *should* now be set up to start NWN automatically once it reboots, so the downtime will be relatively short, but those of you playing at these times may want to consider saving characters more regularly (by attempting to rest -- you don't have to make camp, pressing 'r' saves your character whether you end up resting or not). If the server resets, you may lose all changes to your character (acquired gold/items/xp) since you last rested.

Please accept my apologies for this. We'll try to think of how to mitigate the implications this kind of thing has on players, I'll keep you posted.

Please note that the above post is not 100% accurate.

Unfortunately this situation will remain the same. Those with the admin priveliges to start and stop the server are the CL and the dcl, thats myself and Avalyn. Any questions regarding the server should be directed at us to ensure you are not misinformed.

Ensure that you save/plan around the 5am BST reset time. It will take just 2 minutes or so for the reset to be performed.

This reset is an automated process and is NOT performed by any NWN staff.

Thanks for your advance co-operation
