What is the max player load on the VMK servers and do you think they are using back up servers to test the new land and games or are they just partitioning the same server? I ask this because I am trying to figure out the quirky lag that is going on
 
I'm not a VMK geek or a computer geek for that matter but i do seem to remember some time ago a message that popped up saying that the game was too full, and that was with 6000 people playing.
 
I would say the current max load is a little over 6000 players. Not the optimum load, mind you, but the max load!

From the way the game has been behaving lately, with really bad lag and mysterious disconnections and crashes, I think they are using the same servers. If we are lucky, they've partitioned them!

Major rule of software development is that you never never never develop on the same machine you are running as your production machine, which in this case would be the game server.

These are my thoughts based on what I've observed, and 26 years of IT experience.
 
I have also noticed a large increase in the number of "players online" posted on the VMK home page over the last week or even few days. Maybe with kids going back to school they are flooding the time I am on more as opposed to spreading out across the day as they were before. Remember I have only been on VMK since after the Ebay Dreams thing. I don't know what it's usually like. Right now for example there are 5200 online according to VMK and I haven't noticed over 5000 anytime for very long over the last week or two. maybe for a few minutes or two but not consistently.

hmmm. Sounds like Grumpy is looking for a new way to break VMK if you ask me. LOL

Wasn't twice enough?

How many mules do you plan on making?
