The Hota server and the SoD server run on different machines. Therefore, Hota crashes do not affect SoD.
During the New Year holidays, I disabled reputation on the Hota server and limited the top players in the ranking table to approximately 1000, because otherwise, with 2000+ players online, the database couldn't handle the load properly, and the server slowed down.
The reasons for the last 2-3 crashes are unclear to me (based on the logs, it seems like a hardware issue, but it could be anything, such as an attack; I'm not very good at administration).
On the same machine as the Hota server, there was a server running for updates and downloads of the HD mod, which also experienced very high loads during the New Year holidays. Now (after the last crash), I have disabled it. Let's see what happens on Saturday; I hope this helps.
The delay in bringing the server back online is due to the fact that I am currently engrossed in a new project and am also ill.
The best way to speed up server recovery after a crash is to email me about the crash. Most often, this is how I find out about the crash. But judging by the emails, people usually write to me only a few hours after the crash.
I haven't left the Hota community.
