Server Crash on the morning of January 1st

I think I somhow crashed the server (somewhere around 6:30 AM Mountain Time) when I IDed a wierd looking bonecrusher. Instead of bonecrusher, it called it a bunch of accented and nonprinting characters

I found it in the tower in the center of brest, from the one titan type guy in there (it has a unique name, but I can't remember it), after the server crashed , I beat him again but this time his lightning burnt everything he dropped, so I don't know if it's easily repeatable.

You must have meant '31st January' looking at the date on that post

Server admin (Leaf) would hopefully be able to see the log and determine which part of code caused the crash, also there will probably be a core dump to help the investigation.

Thank you for reporting this.

Although we often have a core dump to help with the investigation, somtetimes knowing what a player (or players) had tried to do right before the crash can be very helpful.

In this particular case, we have a very thorough core dump - knowing what will it turn up or lead to? Not sure at this time.
