345

gratz us on 345, having a larger player base is great, but the direct effect of this is that raids have so much lag you can barely get anything done.Any news on server addition?

Can't really afford another box with a safe margin right now... would need some more donation-wise.

We're going to be working on lowering cpu usage, though, and if more donations come in, we're getting a second box.

By another box I assume you mean to share the load ie move half the zones or such to new server.. vs. a new "server shard" thus splitting the player base ?

Second box just splits the load. Player base will stay the same though.

Wouldn't just setting up 1 box with a few different VM's work almost as well?

We mean we'll run most of the zones on one box and MySQL/World.exe/the rest of the zones on the other box to balance the load.

Or something like that. Noone will notice much of a difference except for the lack of lag.
