Thread: What on earth?

    Default What on earth?

    I understand how some people (those at Evony) would have thought that making a super server would speed things up; unfortunately, without a high-speed connection (to the internet) on their end, all it does is slow EVERYTHING down.
    They should get an OC16 connection or something of the like ((http://www.computerhelplinks.com/Internet_Connection_Types.htm)...check the bottom of the page.)

    Man, I have a 30Mbps connection. I just started playing one of the Super Servers today because my account on a different server is getting close to the end of the quest... It isn't your connection, the server is slower than Christmas.

    The game servers port in through the same connection, thus if it was a lack of bandwidth to the internet backbone, everyone would experience the same lag as SS1, but we don't. Also, there is no OC-16. OC-12 might be used, but I don't know how "chatty" of an application this is, meaning I don't know if large amounts of data are actually sent over the network. The animations are likely in the flash file that is downloaded once at the start, then everything else is likely highly compressible text. At most they'd use OC-48...but I just don't think there's enough actual binary data (less compressible) going back and forth...

    Anyway, the lag isn't a "cloud" bottleneck. If there is network congestion, it would likely be on the LAN/VLAN.

    I don't know what the super servers are, which servers are they?

    Only 1 at the moment, SS1, and according to people that play on that server, it's not so "super"...
