Server's

[ELD66]

Ok I know that the 700 man server was difficult to keep running smoothly with so many players. And I understand why you had to go to smaller servers or "Arenas" as they are called. Why not 1 600 man Late War server and 1 150 man MW server? There would be plenty of room, and it wouldn't eat up much resources. Also if you do this we can bring back the Big maps in the Late War arena.

And with 600/900 members that subscribe surely 9000/13500$ a month could provide for a rig that can handle at least 600 man server. In fact it will cost less then half of one months profit to build another box that could handle this amount of activity.

So why not upgrade to a better server to host bigger maps like it used to be? Back when there was 1 Main Arena was considered the best times by most players. Even if we move it to 2 main servers with larger capacity for players I still believe it would be a move back to the golden days of Aces High I and II.

I don't see why HTC would want to undo what he did in the first place at all.

It wasn't about their hardware not being able to keep up...it was about "community health".

hmmmm community health....well i always love how the server bounces up slots to like say 320 then all of a sudden ya get discoed or lose vox.....and ya go to log on and what is this we see?!?!?!? 321/220 hmmmm and it always seems to be on "Peak" times when most are on tryin to get some squad sorties in and stuff....

Not to mention Vox is the saddest excuse....everytime the ser slots drop BOOM! vox out ya got to reboot AH....THAT alone is driving me crazy so how does THAT sit with community health...if ya can't even keep your community in communication with squadmates, friends, etc??

Basically it boils down to Skuzzy and HTC wanted to line their pockets with more Money, and try to be like every other game out there competing with WoW Fighter Ace etc etc and try to keep up with the Jones's and as of late it's not working that great....

I agree it should be like it was in the old days....and i've played on and Off for going on 3 years now....and the OLD way was way better 650 slots end of story if it was full ya waited....but i think they could go 500 slots for Mid-Late War  and whatecver else for Early-war as noone really gives too hoots about the beginning of the War....so in all honesty eliminate the early-war and keep it the CT, DA, Mid-Late War Areans, and Training Arena....problem solved LOL

First off ive noticed somthin durring prime time In both arenas there are ussually 300/400 and like 350/400 ouyt of whatever in LW, along with another 80 or 100 combind in the EW and MW so if we went off the old MA server which held i belive 750?? there wouldnt be enough room for everyone so ur right we do need a bigger server to hold everyone but some times i think its harder to keep one big server going then 4 smaller ones my thoughts husky/goldie

[FBTazzz]

ROFLcopters Team Speak and roger Wilco are outdated computer walkie talkies lol....i have my Own Ventrilo Voice Server.....but reguardless i like many others enjoy the realism of the in-game radio.....now granted radios were unstable in WWII but they didn't go out because of server issues ROFL

We can just hope skuzzy will come in here and set this misguided thread straight.

The server we had before is the same server we have now....just more "rooms" in it.  Also the server when we had just 1 MA was only running at about 50% peak even under full load.  The split has added a bit of head room.

At least thats what I recall.

Try doing a search for the arena split thread from hitech or skuzzy.  Some were thinking that they did it for technical reasons, but they didn't.  They did it for what they call "community health".

But by all means go ahead and speculate about something you have no idea about.  Last time I asked skuzzy to grant me access to the server data he said no

It is true to run 4 servers is easier. But if you make a compromise and go for 2 larger it will please the players and make less chances for the server to be overbeared and to have a bunch of Disco's so often.
