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. ;)
