On February 2, 2014, Roleplaycraft experienced a server wide crash in early morning hours that our admin Faintinghope worked hard on fixing. Faintinghope put a series of updates on a fourm post keeping us updated on the issue.
"[3:27AM] Following Server Restart, multiple blocks in the server are visually missing. The blocks appear for individual clients upon interaction, however upon re-log, the world returns to it's missing status. Admin FaintingHope attempted a simple restart without successful results. Server taken down due to CPU usage maxing out. Weekly Backup of map already in progress by Admin FaintingHope, access to FTP currently pending completion of map download.

As you can see the server was down for about an hour and we hope that this will never happen again, but thanks to the amazing admins, they got right on it and fixed the server!
