<p>Glastis: </p> <hr /> <div>[[file:Limbo.gif|thumb|right|The loading screen.]]<br /> The term ''Limbo'' is used to describe an [[avatar]] or other atoms being inaccessible by players or servers. The most common symptom is that the loading screen never ends when attempting to login on an avatar. [[Solar_System|Solar system]]s can also go into limbo, making them stop responding to the server and any [[spacecraft]] or avatar that enter that solar system will be stuck until the solar system's server is restarted.<br /> <br /> The loading screen can also some times be referred to as &quot;the limbo screen&quot;.<br /> <br /> ==Technical==<br /> The original version of ''limbo'' was fixed at some point in 2014, but the term is still wide used whenever someone is unable to login on their [[avatar]].<br /> <br /> Now a days however, the cause of ''limbo'' is commonly due to a server crash. The servers are all running in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Debugger GDB], which causes them to lockup when a crash happen and wait for inspection before being able to resume or restart. This helps a lot with fixing server crashing bugs.<br /> <br /> When a server crashes, all the [[Solar_System|solar systems]] that that server was handling will freeze. All atoms in those solar systems will stop responding and all atoms entering any of those solar systems will also freeze.<br /> <br /> ===Help===<br /> If you are unable to login on an avatar, it is most likely a problem with the server that is handling the solar system.<br /> <br /> The first thing you'd want to do is alert [[Haxus]]. This is done by posting in the [http://hazeron.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=7169 &quot;limbo&quot; thread] on the forum, this thread is monitored extra carefully by Haxus so he can restart the servers when they lock up.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Before being fixed at some point in 2014 it was common for [[avatar]]s to become stuck in &quot;limbo&quot; when transiting from one server to another. This was due to errors in the server-side communications, making it so that an avatar was not on any server at all, hence the term ''limbo''.<br /> <br /> ==Popular Jokes==<br /> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rx6tcWG_kg (YouTube) limbo.wmv]<br /> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aF8KZDfwlM (YouTube) Back in Limbo]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Science]]<br /> [[Category:Technical_Support]]</div>
