Aliens Invade AO

[Freuty]

Err, with what authority you speaking about this Vol, yer saying AO is run with just 2 servers?!? Plus they're NOT taxed??

So, lemme get this straight, 3 dimensions, 10s of playfields, 1000s of players all running off 2 machines?? Well, I personally seriously doubt that... but I'm willing to be proven wrong... and if it is correct, then that would explain the serious lag/slowdown issues when more than a handful of players gather in one playfield.. Or, by servers, do you mean 'server farms/clusters'? Then it makes more sense.

Please, explain further where you get this info from cos I'm having a hard time believing it m8

Anyway, back OT wrt Alien Invasion... I'm glad that FC is continuing to devlop AO and add new stuff.. I just wish they would also make sure they fix the stuff they're adding before too quickly adding more... but then they need to keep customers interested and attract old/new peeps back so I can kinda understand why they're doing it they way they do Must be working anyway, 'cos Vol is looking to come back

the topic of this thread , but if you think about ....
when i saw the interface of horizons my first thought was Aaaaaah there is the GUI, FC wanted to have but wasnt able to build in in a finished working form.
Instead of fixing there own stuff and return to the once great idea of the now long forgotten storyline FC steals other devs ideas , thats my opinion.

IM getting 0 lag...with all the Gfx turned to the highest setting. In peak times. in comparison...in Hz..i get tons of lag sometimes. In EQ, same thing...not as bad...DAoC...if in a populated area, it gets laggy. Im surprised my self that FC has been able to run this with only 2 servers...but its workin fine. All these tests were dont on the same computer BTW.

AO is not running on 2 servers.

AO is not running on 2 servers.

I am pretty sure Lind and F are right.

Rk1 & 2 are hosted by FC and are server clusters/farms. RK3 is run by a different company ooperating under FC license and under FC chain of command.
