I would like to note to all players, that why the server crashed is my fault. Myself and Kai, whilst playing on NC, had conflicting IP adresses which caused numerous problems.
One of which was the lack of myself being able to move, or log on. We figured out, that his NWN was controlling mine and that everything he done was effecting me. He soon logged out and I was able to log back in. On checking the player list, The player count itself was actually 0, But the player list was still saying that I was logged in... Four times to be excact. Now I was able to log back on as Netsy, but there were other Netsy's around the village. They were infact NPC replica's of myself, and were unable for me to kick them or Limbo them on DM.
I could not infact kill them, as it would kill her, and my DM chracter. Limboing them was not an option, as it was saying that it was still player. And if I tried to port them away, it would port myself, as a DM and crash once more. I soon gave up with the attempts and told Kai to get out of my room with his laptop, So I could sort this out.
After many attempts, and numerous swear words coming from my mouth, I decided the best optipn, and possibly, Only option, Was to crash the server. On doing this, I am apologising to Kelly herself, for crashing her server, and all the players that will miss out on getting to play on NC till it is back up.
I'm sorry for what I have caused, But believe me, when I say this was not my fault and I had no control over what actually happened.

Looks like my attempts at trying to crash the server, actually failed. I went back on to NWN to see if I could see NC on the server list, And it was there. Hoping that I had fixed it, I quickly clicked it and check the player list. I was still logged in, and letting out a sigh, I decided to give up.
I'm once again, Apologising. But the events that have happened, I had no control over, and I think it may be my actual characters that are bugged. I will be talking to Kelly A.S.A.P to try and sort this out, and I have psoted some screenshots so that you can see what I am excatly talking about.

Yeah, I would just like to add that we did not intend to screw up the server, It was a pure accident and a technicall problem that none of us could predict, So please dont get angry at me or Neji for this, Hopefully all is well after a reset, This also happened to Neji on another server which was later fixed by a reset * Nod *

You can restart the server via your DM/Admin server widget when you've logged in.

The DM server widget was disabled to prevent people from screwing with the server. The host is the only one who can reset it now and also by logging out but if you cause a glitch that does this then the server still thinks it is occupied.
Considering you have done this before on another server and did it here again I'm far from happy.
Attempting to crash the server on purpose is also not acceptable, though you are attempting to fix your error you are only causing more issues for the hosts computer. The fact there was four of you means whatever you were doing, you did it four times. A single copy sure thats more an "oops" four of you tells me that you were doing something on purpose that resulted in that many copies. Conflicting IP addresses is not likely, even if you are both connected through a router you are both assigned separate identifiable IPs unless you forcibly changed that.
Do not do this again. I can't stress that enough or there will be consequences.

Actually Anthony, He didnt do it four time he logged in once, And there were four copies of his player there, Then when he went on Dm it also copied his Dm avatar.
As for doing it on another server he didnt do it on purpose so dont get angry at that fact, it was something that just happened and we dont know why.
As for crashing the server, It was probobly not the best thing to do on his part, But he was trying to help and clear the problem, Though not the best choice.
And yes, I will sit here and defend my brother because he is just that, My brother, And he did not try to cause this problem on purpose

You can say what you want, That I did this on purpose and what not. I did not mean for any of this to actually happen. What happened was lately explained by my father, who put it in the simplest way to understand.
"What caused the problem, Was Casey connecting to the wireless at the same time you were on the internet. You IP's then conflicted ,causing your NWN.exe to become controlled by the actions casey didon his. It then caused the registry folder itself, to over run and create multiple copies of you as it thought you were still logged on the server."
I may have down this on another server, But that server admin said excatly the same thing. It is a pure mistake, and how many copies it makes, is simply up to the amount of times to lag accordingly.
You can say I did this on purpose if you want, But I didn't intend on anything happening.
Neji.

I have seen this before actually and last i knew the ghost chars was caused by the hosts computer conficting with (in this case) The two people on the same ip. In this situation crashing the server is probably one of the only fixes that a dm can do. If it has not worked by the next reset i would suggest that you guys alternate times unfortunately .

Me and Kai, Don't leave with each other. But We are right now. I am proberbly going to wipe my servert fault (If I can get that done) And remake my chracters, just incase it was a bug on my characters itself.
