3000!
« on: February 10, 2014 03:37 pm CST »
After years and years and years and years...and lots of "learning" about "programming"...and lots of scripting...I finally made it to the ranks of 3000. AFAIK, there are only 2 or 3 others who are 3000+, correct? I feel special and accomplished.

Hey Particle, did you ever wind up fixing the online character stats?

http://www.pcrpg.org/main.php?action=viewpage&page=charstats

I noticed it still thinks I'm RL 860-something...and it doesn't anyone as being an active player as of February 2014.

Also, yes, I DO read your updates :P Isn't there an anniversary coming up this Valentine's Day? 13 years or something like that?

Congratulations Koro. I still remember when you were new to the server :)  And yes, the server is close to 13 years old, if not a little older.

Back around 2004, we used to have a full server (24 slots I think) pretty much every night.  It was to the point that the server would start to lag due to the player count.  IronMaiden was helping me out with hosting in those days as I couldn't afford to purchase a dedicated server by myself.  That didn't change until I think 2008 when I moved us to a DS or VPS hosted with 1&1.  The 1&1 server helped, but it was just a P4 machine.  After about a year there, I deployed a custom 1U server named "Aoede" to a data center in Kansas City in 2008.  It was a dual, quad-core AMD Opteron 2350 machine with 16 GB of RAM and mirrored 7200 RPM SATA disks on a DS3.  That move eliminated any remaining performance issues, but by that time the player count had waned considerably.  We'd still have maybe 10 players on or so in the evenings.  In 2012 that server was upgraded to a 12-core Opteron 6234 with 64 GB of RAM, and a second 1U box was added to the facility to act as a high performance and powerful router/firewall.  It's too bad that these aren't our high player count days as today they could be served with much less lag.

It looks like stats haven't updated since we moved the server to 1&1.  I suppose it could be made to start updating again if that is a desirable feature.  I think this is the first report about it I've had in the six years it has been broken, however.  heh
As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.
