I'll preface this with an apology because this server move has been a huge pain in the ass for everyone.
However, rest assured that we'll figure this out. It's a tricky thing to debug because it's tough to diagnose exactly what's failing. It could be just an NWNX issue, or (what I'm now tending to think is more likely) it could be a script error in the module causing NWNX to hang up.
In the meantime, my recommendation is to relog after obtaining any special items or a sizeable amount of XP. This will force the server to save your character and you won't risk losing it during a crash.
Hang tight! Things will be stable soon!
UPDATE: After some hunting around we found DieHard, a library that many NWNX-users leverage to run their servers. It should deal with the memory errors we're seeing. We're now using it as of this morning.
