Regarding the state of the world while server is crashed.

[lachlaan]

I was just wondering if the state of the game world advances while the server state is "crashed" or "stopped". Or during/after a restart for that matter. And I mean in terms of animal corpses on the ground waiting to be butchered or items temporarily dropped to allow for picking up an item needed for a craft. Or you know, in the odd eventuality that you managed to get mauled by a bear and drop 3 charms to the ground right before the server crashed, what happens to the items on the ground?

I am fairly sure everything stops.. as its only meaningful (from programming perspective) implementation of time.
Problem is, we dont know when it will be up again.
Essentially, there is no problem

Alright, cheers for the info. I'll keep an eye on the status page, in hope of recovering my stuff before they go poof

It is stopped, but items on the ground will disappear. I think they aren't saved in DB at any point.
