What makes a server crash?

I dont know much about custom modules, but I was wondering what makes one PW module more prone to crash or lag really badly. Is it the hardware of the server, the amount of custom scripts/content, etc.

At first I though it was just my connection because my location is far from the server and a relativly high ping will always be someting I have to live with, but lately its been more crashes than disconnects... correct me if Im wrong but you can tell its a crash when you logon and you appear at the transition point of the area, while if it was a time out you'd appear where you were last

Im just asking since last night was really frustrating, a crash about every 5 minutes... basically what am asking is will it get better, can the problem be fixed (whaterver it may be). Im a patient man so I can wait, I just need to know if there is something to look forward to.

I also wanted to add that as frustrating as it is right now I still think the mod is great, it would have to be for people to keep logging in every time it crashes

The Devs are definately working to find out why it's crashing and lagging In the future if you could post which server, what you were doing and approximately what time it would probably be helpful.
