Hi, I'm looking for information on the correct way to close a live server, so no items are lost or rolled back.

Which servers to close first? I tried closign map-server first and waiting 10 minutes, but some players are still losing items.

Use @kickallKicking all would mean force saving the characters, I usually give broadcast in server from 1 hour before. So that's clear indication for not doing anything important.
(Also don't believe what the others say), kickall should save all things almost instantly, so closing all of them after few seconds of kicking would mean the same as closing map server and waiting...

Pretty much what Dastgir mentioned. You would typically @kickall, let things save, then close the servers. Once you kick everyone off, you're pretty much safe... if you just close the map server without kicking anyone, well then you're not safe lol. So typically, kick everyone, wait a few seconds and close the servers. I normally just closed them one by one starting with login --> char --> map... but that's because that was just me xD

You guys need to be careful with how you close your servers. Even in this day and age a duplication exploit exits.
