Server status

[Vapulabe]

A nice addition would be to have a "Server status" which would give an appreciation of the "stability" of the server core...

Could go from "highly unstable, don't use except for test" to "very stable"...

This would reflect the state in terms of deadlock problems, non-working features, ...

Somehow, it may lower the number of "wannabe admins" complaining about the server being unstable (but unable to fill a proper bug-report) because the expectations would be "quantified"...

And if someone install a server core marked as highly unstable and blows his player base... well, bad luck, he had been warned

I can only support this idea.

What happened to us:
We just downloaded the latest trunc (3259) and it crashes our server after 5 minutes using the new client we download for 24 hours.
We are now going back to a new branch (T2.2, 2944), but since they are not developed further for stability we donot know if it will work better than our last version (2903).
Since we are running the server under MacOSX 10.5 we have other stability problems. But still this info would help us to know if its a version problem or we are searching for ghosts.
Since Java 1.5..06 we had no stable version independent of hardware, memory or newer System or Java configurations. Everything freezes between 1 or 10 hours, even with only 30 users.

Version T2.2 2944 is really more stable (on a MacOSX Server) than before (uptime more than 2 hours ).

Include this Server Stability Status message in future, it would help a lot.

Two hours max uptime sounds like your not doing something correct or it's time to get rid of the Max OS maybe?

Even when I first started years ago the worse server version I had lasted at least four hours before I had to reboot and both Java and L2J has come a long way since than and does not have all the memory leaks, memory usage problems and other problems that Java or L2J had back than, there has been a lot of stuff added to the game since C3 and the L2J server today is way more stable than past versions I think.
