Oh good, EDIT 5 made it. Wasn't showing up yesterday.

Looks like Travislb has been hit by bug. At least in chat log he claimed to have lvl 60 wis and now is at 0 but I never saw him online

I havent seen him online yet.

Can you get him to PM me if you see him, please?

Not entirely unexpected. The 'fix' I did only fixed a symptom, not the root cause, whatever that may be (I think it is related to kill quests -- something's amiss there anyway).

That said it seems to have solved the vast majority of cases (yours is the only one in the last 1.25 months of logs). I can see exactly when it happened but I'm no wiser as to why...

The following players have also been hit but before the 'fix' and need some Clobbery TLC (if they're still here -- Cutina seems to have done a lot of slaughter recently so I wonder if she's Cutintwo in a dress?)

I'm not so sure it has anything to do with quests.  I had this bug hit my main char Joeshmo, which has had all the quests done for years.  All it took was logging in one day and poof, lvl 1 skills.

Some new code affecting accounts with multiple alts is my guess.

Well Cannotdie character was only one on that account so multiple alts theory can be ruled out (or alternatively there is more than one cause and one of them is independant of multiple alts on one account).

If quests have nothing to do with it then it's simply a case of primary cause having a subsequent knock on effect on quests (e.g. autocompleting them)

Well one other thing that could trigger it is that some quests on my character were guild specific (e.g. 3 of them required you to be in priest guild) but I acquired the quest, then left guild so I could kill with all my skills and planned to only rejoin to collect reward. I don't think it should affect it as I think it's only when you talk to NPC to collect reward that guild is checked but that could also be a factor.

I'm actually not that worried about character being hit. I'm more interested in trying to locate cause. When I think of actions my character took it includes
-consuming food
-applying an altar
-joining/leaving guilds
-buying/selling items in shops and water from NPC including 100 via text instead of normal orders
-using melee, prayers and spells
-using ID scrolls
-using teleport via npc (not portal) and entering/leaving dungeons on maps
-resting
-looting
-getting poisoned and healing naturally
- /channel g* and /who. Also tried /save a few times out of habit but it said it didn't exist as a command
-equiping items including an egoitem (fanrir's ring)
-various quests
-repaired equipment at NPC
-killed enemies. Some were grey and gave no loot/XP while others were purple and gave good XP and loot. Naturally I moved while doing so.
-bound food to hotkeys (F1-F8)

I've not socialised nor have I got any one-drop items outside of anything explicitly mentioned in a quest. This includes keys other than Fanrir's. I haven't bought an apartment and don't think I have a bank account. I haven't set foot in Demon Plane nor have I used any emotes. Other than checking shout log I've not done any channel related activities so it's at default settings. No quests were taken outside Guild Hall and Village and only NPC I spoke to in Stonehaven was priest to teleport and maybe a few that didn't answer when I selected wrong one by accident in church. I've also yet to die so it shouldn't be related in any way to death/respawn mechanism. I have occasionally fled from mobs by exiting a dungeon that presumably caused a mob to lose it's target. I also got kicked off the server once or twice when game froze when presumably my connection lagged out or my internet had a problem that could be a possible cause if it happens when character is being refreshed or something like that?

I think that's a relatively comprehensive list of my actions so far. I may have forgotten a minor detail but I think it sums up what I've done and experience on the character. I've no idea if it's useful or not but it should hopefully allow anyone trying to find the root cause to slightly narrow what actions can cause bug if it is something that requires an action from the player to commence.

*sigh* Several new cases over the last 2 weeks. There are a couple of clues where the problem might be but if so it is deep in either the hashtable code or Lua itself, which is not ideal.

Well good advice, mostly. I should have done this ages ago just to keep a regular backup.

Problem is it results in a > 2GB file! So I'll need to manually prune it every week or two. I've set it up to get a bit of potentially useful info too. Just daily at 7am UTC.
