11 years, 15 weeks ago
Today I logged on my server and everyone was PMing me about fast NPC's, so I have a look and it was like they were using !xspeed Pro. One second the NPC was on one side of the island, the next it was on the other. This NPC I'm describing is a Swamp Monster, which aren't very fast. To fix it we had to reboot.
Note: This has only happened once.

I suppose this could happen if somehow your server's PC clock is somehow boosted using some speed up utility. It is very unlikely that a clean build of EOSERV would do this alone without altering the timer for NPC::Act.

Probably originated from a bad number popping up in Clock::GetTimeDelta. I'm not sure what could cause such a drastic break in time, but there should probably be some sanity checks to stop it from having such a lasting effect.
Relevant information: How many days had your PC been on? If you killed an NPC, did that stop it from speeding?

Possibly fixed in r378. Will now hopefully not listen if Windows says it's suddenly two weeks in the future.
