Token "its my day off, I finally get time to play and the server is down" post.

No maintenance thread should be without one.

Mob spawn time is calculated at death. It is stored in memory, and, in case of zone restart, also stored in database. It is based off Unix Timestamp + the generated respawn time of the mob (if it has variance), resulting in a spawn time. If the zone is running this timestamp is checked often if it has triggered (Spawntime < Currenttime ?). These calculations happen rapidly probably every second. If the zone boots up, it loads those timestamps from database, and continues to check them.

Thus, spawn timers are not affected by the zone being up or not.

Last Dojo anyone?

im wondering rogean, I logged in expecting a repop cause i guess i don't know how things work. anyways, i came back to no tranix, that i had just killed before downtime, but the skarlon was up(i didnt have time to kill this) but before the server shut down, he was holding a sword, and when the server came back up. he wasn't.
