TdC said:I imagine 650+ people querying a database in a continual stream would cause it to slow down a tad. just a tad though in all honesty FH has been slower than thick shit all week, so it may well be something else.
in an aside, and I do not mean this in an anti-daoc manner, but I take it that everyone's tried to log back in to their play server the moment it became available to them? do they not realise it's not a very bright idea to charge into a server (of any kind) that's just been put online? chill, relax, watch some telly, phone a friend, take a couple hits from the old bong and log on in a couple of hours. I say this as a sysadmin, and I know what it's like to watch a server strain just because 5000 people can't curb their impatience and press refresh 50 times a minute.
