I have been having problems logging in for the past few days.. Server status is always at DEADLOCKED so can never log in.. I have waited hours to log in and have had no luck.. I know its cause there are so many logged in right now. The thing is many of them are by people who have more then one toon in the game at a time. Sure this was something we did in a real server but come on people let others play and stop afking your alt that by policy you should not even have.:

As far as I know, a deadlocked status is in no direct way connected with the number of users. The server cap is of course, but the status will still appear as ONLINE if the reason you can't get in is because of the server cap.

1) Server has been deadlocked at least twice these past couple days. Usually it's not this bad.

2) The server is deadlocked right now, thus you cannot get in right now.

3) Policy actually states that one CAN have two toons online in the game and it was recently capped to 2 already and has been argued to death.

4) When the server is actually working (e.g. not offline or deadlocked) the login time is usually not as bad as you make it out to be.

5) Watch IRC like a hawk if you're so worried about getting in and when the server's problems are fixed, you'll likely get in "like that" if you're quick enough.

when the server is deadlocked no one is online. It does not mean its full. It has basically locked up and is unplayable.

So when you see deadlocked you should just go find something else to do

I'm not sure i understand your question, but i will try to answer it anyway.

Devs don't cause deadlocks, that just happens, its a bug that brings everything to a standstill because two or more processes don't know which one should run first, and are all waiting on each other to finish.

So when that happens devs, in this case Oru (and TheAnswer possibly), need to take the logs and find what caused the deadlock, code a fix, restart the server, update the code with a fix. Problem is both Oru and TA are Europeans and do in fact sleep and have lives outside SWGEmu, so when they find time they will fix it.

Just be patient, it will be fixed soon.
