Request for info: Tech devblog wanted.


So, server stability in PS1 isnt currently at its prime and the load isn't even close to what PS2 will be handling. My question to SOE is if they're considering elaborating on improvements to server hardware and all of that to keep the game stable.

in other words, i want tech porn with info on how i hopefully wont get connection failure errors every 5-10 mins.

You know, Server specs, info on optimisation, server room pics, etc.

just like any good tech porn, it should include graphs, numbers, interesting figures and many ideas on how servers will be in general, less crappy.

It's not going to just be hardware improvements. I'm sure we can safely bet that the netcode in PS2 is going to be a lot better than PS1.

tbh, I really would like to see an actual devblog on this. I know its a myraid of things they're doing to improve it all, but ~details~ never hurt anyone.

The APB:Reloaded guys did a great job with their devblog. But keep in mind it's a time-consuming task, and I'd rather see the SOE folks working on beta than keeping a blog updated.

About 10 years of improvements in networking and server technology is about all you ned to know. It's like asking for a comparison between a ModelT and a modern automobile.

Perhaps it's what is needed to be known, but I for one think it would be cool to have more details

The forge light engine will be the biggest advancement in MMO gaming if it works as advertised. I'm very interested to see what it is capable of producing. I keep hoping they would do some sort of tech demo of the engine. But honestly what better tech demo could there be to show off the engine than a 2000 person FPS game.

Though understanding what sort of server or the technology behind it would interesting to hear about.

Is it just one server for all of Auraxis or an array of servers? What is the system specs? How big is the connection to the server(s)?

I'd rather they didn't post such information.

No sense in giving away any information useful to potential hackers.

We don't need to know this stuff to enjoy the game.

My 2 cents.

I would be very interested in this information as well but AFAIK the only folks that have ever done this are CCP with EVE Online. Everyone else considers this stuff a trade secret.
