Server performance

[I can has fun?]

As of now, the only slowdown I experience is on the client side, and it is exceedingly rare.

Sounds great. I'm really pleased performance has improved as much as it has.

If you have some spare cash lying around, I'd encourage you to donate. Consider the cost benefit of playing EFU to practically any other form of entertainment. Measure up the hours of entertainment vs. going to the movies, going to a bar, buying new games, whatever. If EFU has been something worthwhile for you, I hope some of you will please consider donating what you can afford to help defray the (considerable) expense of the server. If everyone donates a little, then no one has to donate a lot.

At this time I'd prefer only Paypal donations sent to howlando@gmail.com, but if you want to send a large amount (say in excess of 100$) contact me privately and we can work something else out.

How about a "donate, you bums" sticky?

Ping is cut consistantly in half. Haven't noticed any lag beyond some client-side video issues since the switch.

OK, I've got one complaint about the performance:  it's TOO good!

The server doesn't seem to crash at all, so there seems to be a lot of time between resets.  ;)
