First: If the zone DID crash, everyone wouldnt be in spec. It would be more like everyone got kicked outta zone cause zone would be down until it auto-reboots itself Second: Im not sure if this was correct but when I looked at my chat window (I was alt-tabbed), there was about 4-5 ppl in game while everyone was in spec. Im guessing either those 4-5 ppl in game got in really fast after getting specced or they didnt get specced. If a staff did try to *spec ppl, they wouldnt be able to spec everyone but a few in a second. And i dont think a server spike has anything to do with the dev of HS. Server spikes happen once in a while, deal with your loses. 5k from a fg lost isnt alot when before crashes were fixed, we were losing 10-20k jp at a time.
