Server maintenance & server instability

[Robotron]

Lots of people are simply incapable of understanding elementary concepts like that.

[Katniss]

You're out of your mind if you think population doesn't play a significant part in these issues. It boggles the mind why anyone would even suggest that. I see it all the time, smaller servers claiming x and y and therefor must be better. Yes it's pretty damn easy compared to a huge pop server to keep it stable. It's just illogical as hell to suggest otherwise.

If you think this is true... we should give it a try..

I wonder if everyone from Nostalrius were to roll a level one on Kronos and get its pop up to Nostalrius levels maybe we could see if the server would crash. At this point I highly feel like it wouldn't.

There is something more to this story than just population imho on why the server is crashing this much.

Constructive criticism is welcome, lies and insults are not.

$5 bet that the problem is either with RG or Nef.

Also, the guy above me is a retard, move along.

I'm sure you'd able to make a valid argument to as why you mean that.
At least try.

How dumb are you?

8000 players --> 8x more players playing the game --> 8 x more players doing random stuff that doesn't always work the same way (BWL can be completed without a single server crash) --> 8x more crashes

they are reviewing their code but you can't find every crash just by looking at it

just *facepalm*

You are cherry picking your numbers and you are using them very incorrectly, or you're just very bad at simple math.
There are not 8000 players doing BWL at once (They are closing BWL, not the whole server, BWL is the problem here). There is not "8x" people doing BWL simultaneously therefore there are not "8x" more crashes. At least use your brain a little if you attempt to make someone look bad.

they are reviewing their code but you can't find every crash just by looking at it

Events, NPCs and most other stuff are coded separately from the games core. If you break the server by fucking up eventscripts, you're quite terrible at what you do.

Read this classic, if you break userspace in linux w/ kernel patches, you're terrible.

never did I say that 8000 players are doing BWL, 8000 players are doing random stuff of which SOME EVENTUALLY crashes the server, that will 8x less likely occur on a server with 8x less population

there still are 8x (or let it be 6x or whatever) more players doing BWL than on the other server you're talking about

That's simply how it is.
Eventscripts call for core scripts and instances do require core support.

Seriously just go play on your "better" server

[Pottu]

what is your point about all this "this server is better than that server" crybaby shit, the admins of the server try their best and spend their spare time to work on this server, nothing is perfect and bugs are ofcourse avaliable we all know that and accept that fact by playing here, so keep trolling other forums on the interwebz if you dont even play here anymore.

just a wannabe smartass that has nothing better to do then spend his time on a forum of a wow private server he aint even playing on, mate get a life or a hobby ?

Maybe he's not just a smartass wasting time.

I read all of these posts and can't help but wonder if he is part of the Kronos team visiting with the sole purpose of trying to grab some Nostalrius players for their much lower population server.
