Suggestion

The server crashed and there is no one to restart it.

Then i remembered there could be DBGMs (database GMs). Normal GMs that have acess to the database.

I hope you like my suggestion.

-Nuno

I suppose this could work, if those selected few GMs didn't mess with anything else.

We need to get some trustfull people and experienced with database.

it could be some kind of lock that makes the database gms only able to restart ;o

The key word is "Trust" in this topic. And it's up to Gabe's opinion to pass on the Database info to someone else. I honestly won't blame him if he denies cause there will always 1 person out of 100 that will do something bad either to take advantage of the situation or cause harm to the server. So gl on that and I also support your suggestion. (Sucks waiting for hrs just like the GMS maintenance/patches)
