Looks like the stupidity from the war system spread to the game script.

No worries Alex.  For those of us that have been around these types of games, we know it happens often in these types of situations.

why the hell are you using a single physical server?

To everyone complaining...seriously? Crap is going to happen, crap is going to break, and sever hamsters are going to die...it's part of it. It's easy to sit in you lazy boy computer chair eating your pizza pocket and complain about the server going down. Servers are expensive to buy or build and requires at least a T1 line to run at top speed which is an added expense. Of course if he's using a 3rd party server which most do they charge quite a bit for the service and make you pay per space used and per user.

 

So all that said if you were just bsing around then that's one thing, but if you were seriously upset over the outtage...next month's server rent is on you.

As is revealed by the OP, the server crash is a consequence of bad hardware and bad coding. If the code did not allow things to break down, server would have slowed down, but the update would happen.

 

Also, the spike of activity at day change is a direct consequence of how the game is designed. Alex was provided with advice to prevent this by making the troops you can train trickle up every turn change instead of day change. If he had followed that advice, the wars could happen at any turn change, and it wouldn't be such a game changer. Nor would there be such activity spikes as we have seen.

 

So take your insults and stuff them into your pizza pockets, kiddo.

The issue was the memory allocated to the database wasn't appropriately capped, which has been resolved.

 

As for the turn update deal, I did write out a whole system that eliminated the turn update, tested it on the test server, and like basically all changes - no one liked it, so I scrapped it. It's not as if I didn't try. People complain now once and a while, but when I come up with a solution (which requires a pretty drastic change in mechanics) people complain and want it to just stay the way it is.

 

/me shrugs
