    our little server's all grown up

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

    first time in five months of playing I've ever seen the server full


    On a related note, can donators+ get priority to get in the server?

    Yes, I stupidly assumed this situation wouldn't arise again, this has been corrected for the next restart.

    (The question now is... do we need a larger server? ;p)

    I reckon the server could manage 100 with it's current specs to be honest. Java hasn't yet ran out of memory but the system overall is currently eating 99.4% of the available 8GB RAM...

    The upgrade path is from 8GB to either 12GB or 24GB, at £61 and £80 respectively, as well as a good ol' £130 setup fee. affraid

    I wouldn't want to think about the chat spam at anything much higher than 75 players though, it's bad enough as it is.

    At 12 GB we could handle nearly 150 But with 24GB we could handle 250 and with that many people means more donations plus some extra, so in the end you earn a profit.

    Sounds good on paper but I doubt we would ever end up with 200 odd people wanting to play concurrently, not even Buxville has much more than 120 odd at peak times.

    Is there a way to make a limit on flooding the chat? Maybe 10-30 seconds per message.

    It's not just "Add more Ram and you're good." There's Processor power to factor in as well.

    Yeah, but the only thing we're lacking is RAM... Also, Orc's a stripper, she gets a lot of money anyways.

    Indeed, but the i7-920 is only seeing around 30% total usage with 75 so I think it has a bit to go just yet.

    I/O would probably be the most limiting factor, the shitty 80MB/s SATA it's currently using appears to be enough for our current player cap but it's just guess work on whether it could handle much more.

    Um ... Can i add that i think an update of the servers specs are in order ,I was playing earlier today and i noticed that there where constant lag spikes everytime someone logged on or off, If there is to be a update for the server i think it would be best to just keep it at a 75 player max .

    Either upgrade your computer or internet. The server was at capacity for around 4 hours and not once did I see a lag spike that's worth whining about Razz

    Actually, that was due to McMyAdmin, back when I didn't realise the vanilla software actually auto-saves every 15 minutes. The only bad point is if the server hangs like it did today.

    My laptop is fine (exept from a buggy wire connecting the screen to something), I'm running off 4gb of ram (with a 8gb flash drive im using as readyboost) ,I've got a graphic card with shader model 3.0 (whatever that is) and i bought a new (I'll edit this in when i remember what i bought) before i went to Dublin and its been installed ,oh and my internet is pretty beast i allways have the best connection on xbox or most online games for my laptop and i think giygas was on during some of the lagspikes so ask him aswell.

    Last time I used it it quite literally crushed the server... I hope my hesitancy is understandable this time 'round ;p.

    There were some -really- bad spikes around noon. We're talking about a minute where you can do pretty much nothing, then catching up, then a new minute of nothing happening. However they disappeared after about 30 minutes, never to be seen again Smile

    I'm assuming that's the "Read timed out" error that has only started to crop up with 1.4. Some times it has the symptoms you described, other times it locks the server down completely.

    Why dont we have this?

    Last time I used it it quite literally crushed the server... I hope my hesitancy is understandable this time 'round ;p.

    grats on maxing the server.

    While it was down today I popped onto a few other servers but they were quite laggy and they were UK servers too. I know im in the middle of nowhere but it was nice to get back on.

    And I cant believe they charge £130 "setup fee" for that memory upgrade :O

    Need more donators Razz

    Honestly, really honestly I think the uaction laggs the crap out of the server. Couldn't we put it in 1 line when submitting a deal? Like: Cobblestone (10), Am.: 64 Sta. Bet: 300 From: <First three/four letters?>

    Also it would be indeed nice to not let people spam. If we just do a flood limit from no 3 messages in 5 sec it could help a lot.
    I also looked at the admin and mod commands. Could it be good to have a command that let some people not talk? When they spam simply /silence <wildcard for a player>

    For instance I spam like an idiot Razz. Than /silence stodgy or for a longer name. ( I only know Demon_Cat as a name in-game Razz sorry cat! ) /silence demon.

    Just some ideas. Maybe you don't need the /silence that much but it could be good to have it. If theres a fight and someone is raging which he normally doesn't do. Than just silence him and let him cool down. Or when everyone spams when the server is lagging simply let noone talk. Always a lot of people spam when theres lagg. When a admin is on a simple command makes sure we how angry or stressed as we are we can't lagg the server even more.

    Some ideas Razz. We probably need to think some time about things though. My will isn't law so I wanna hear your opinions!!!

    We're sort of tied down by the plugin developers in that regard, the auction plugin for example was last updated around two months ago >_>.

    Aaaah that´s pitty. Could there be some kind of other plugin that does the same? if it hasn't been updated someone must be thinking like "Hey, there's a lot more to do with this and the owners don't update it in any way!!!" and they make another one Razz or something familiar.

    Found this: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

    but I'm personally not so fund of this. It only allows trading with 1 person. uaction is really bidding.

    Ordered an EQ6 (12GB), 24GB is simply out of my budget and it would be wrong to rely solely on you guys to pay for it.
