10 minutes later, the heated discussions online were still ongoing, but Terraria was quietly back online.
Lincoln finally got a chance to post an announcement, shifting the blame away from himself:
[Everybody take a break, we've found the cause.
A group of people did something huge, and it caused the game to crash. Honestly, I was shocked too.
I won't go into the technical jargon. Let me just show you the video so you can experience it yourselves.
Oh, and the issue has been resolved. Don't try to replicate this behavior and crash the server again. That's impossible now!
Last reminder: To compensate for potential loss caused by the unexpected disconnection, we've reverted everyone's game state to the moment right before the crash. So when you log in, you might not be in a safe zone. Keep that in mind.]
Warehouse Bird was overjoyed!
He didn't even bother to watch the video Lincoln had posted, afraid that someone else might snatch the world first kill while he watched the video.
