@coolkyle2006 Server is not closed...

@mercdragon People are still on the server, just people are never on at the same time. If people are on its usually for a short time.

Sometimes the server is down, i try to get it back up in running ASAP, Usually down from someone crashing it by casting a spell that does not exist etc.

Also adding a 3rd hamachi lobby, FFXIPrivateServer1 , Password FFXI

@gearsofwaste if your having problems with your server crashing while your away what you can do is use the program application monitor
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
you can set it to check the process every 30 seconds to see if its running and if it isnt it reopens it,

you also need to edit the registry key
hkey_current_user - software - microsoft - windows - windows error reporting and set disabled to 1 this makes it so windows wont show any dialog and the program just closes.
that way no need to be around, if it crashes it comes right back up.

Thanks Fragfox, this will be really usefull, i remember reading somewhere about a program that could restart the server on its own if it crashed... But i could not find the post again and did not bother to ask lol.

My PC required a automatic restart after a update and i cant seem to get MySQL up and running again... When i put in my password on the command prompt it just makes a beeping noise and disappears.

Was thinking of closing the server anyway, there are well over 25+ ppl that have jioned but there is never more than 1 on at a time.

So server is closed for now maybe i will reopen in the future if i can be bothered to mess around with MySQL again.
