If you are having that many zone crashes per day, either your server can't handle the load (low stats), or there is something you have on your server that is causing the problem. One thing to check into is to see if you have any items with focus effects that are "unknown". Anytime an item with an unknown focus effect is worn and a player casts a spell, it will always crash the zone.

This would be the case if you allow summoned items or have items in your loot tables with effects past Titanium. To fix that, either remove the unknown effects from the items, remove the items from your loot tables, or maybe try updating your spell file to live so that at least the server knows what the effect is even though the client won't. Then, it should stop crashing due to that reason. It would be nice if there was an update to the code to ignore unknown effects so it doesn't crash on them.
