interesting...There are items in the DB already that have a higher id than that to start with....and yes, I have been making all my custom items in an id number higher than that. That is weird...

EDIT: I was mistaken...the highest item id in the DB is in 147,000s

I had been making all my custom shit in the 1 millions. But I had it that way for at least 2 weeks without incident. And when it stopped loading the other day, I deleted the server, reinstalled it, and restored a backup sql, and it worked...and it's worked for the last few days, with items in the 1 millions. I just changed my custom gear to <200,000 Thank you for the heads up. Though I'm still convinced it was not that. Earlier in that day i was trying to learn about perl, and I followed a thread i shouldn't have, that had me playing with the t_start_server_with_login_server.bat. I made a copy of it, and restored that copy after...but I'm sure (in all my amateur ignorant bliss) that I broke something with that. Only because I have been stopping and restarting the server after making changes , all along. Seems weird for it to all the sudden have an objection to my items. But you certainly know more about this than I do.
