Server Stress testing session announced
« on: June 30, 2003, 09:46:44 am »
We decided to start stress-testing our actual game server (planeshift.fragnetics.com), in order to study how its performance scales as the number of players is growing.

To accomplish this goal, we need your help!

We basically decided to have a preferred day hour when we will all try to meet ingame. This hour is:

9    pm GMT  (England)
10  pm CET  (Western Europe)
3    pm CDT (Texas, St. Louis, Chicago)
1    pm PDT (California, Seattle)

The duration of this stress session will be 1 hour, starting from the aforementioned day times. All you will need to do will be to connect to Molecular Blue and walk, chat, collect crystals, etc...

Let\'s try to see how many of us can get there at the same time!

I\'ll be there. Maybe it is an idea to give the people who come a little prize, so that more people will try to come.
As a prize maybe not like 8000 rubies or so (wouldn\'t mind if it it were), but just a little something...

I\'ll see ya guys there then

hehe, man niber, time has meaning in summer if you\'re parents are as anal as mine were. I used to count down the hours till I had to go back to school, and being in bed by 8 seemed way too damn early for me

Thanks to everyone for a successful first day of testing!

We maxed out at 48 people online concurrently, and had at least 35-40 for more than an hour.

People did report render lag problems when they were all gathered up in the tavern, etc. but overall the server seemed to handle it fine.

Let\'s see if we can beat 48 tomorrow!  :-)

Just to show something to the ones who couldn\'t make it in time for our first stress testing session, here are 2 screenshots of how the things were looking:

Thank you to all the ones who were present: we\'re looking forward to meet you again the next days at the same time, to see if we can really bring up the max concurrent players count.

bye
