EFU as Two Servers

[Howlando]

Please continue to report incidents of lag.

In my experience, only when 20+ players are in a single area fighting do I ever really experience lag, otherwise even when there are 40+ players on scattered around I get no lag at all.

And I'm across the Atlantic... but...

Please continue to report, and maybe we should investigate a new hosting solution.

I rarely experiance lag but when I do it seems to be very bad and unrelated to any playing spike I can see. It could simply be due to traffic on the hosts server, or even Gamespy.

The hardware could handle it easily. What stands in the way of sharding is lack of skill. We have previously paid serious thought to splitting the server into categories. It would both improve performance significantly and make development a lot easier, but we don't have the manpower or know-how.

I think it's mostly motivation and drive, actually.

Sorry if this is none of my buisness but roughly how much does everything come to in costs per month?

[ExileStrife]

Five thousand dollars.
