BitMonster is currnetly making excellent use of our Saturday night by hanging out at the office executing a plan to relieve stress on our poor overloaded severs.
After lots of investigation it looks like we are simply stressing our servers too hard and their CPUs have become saturated leading to pretty bad conditions when the servers all get loaded down.
What's that? We're doomed you say?! NOT SO! We've just ordered six more 12 core machines to be provisioned. That's 72 more cores to help our fans have a smooth experience. The ETA for these machines is approximately midnight EST TODAY. Once they're delivered to us we will spread out the load across these new machines and we will even have headroom to spin up some more universes.
We will bring up some more PvE servers since those tend to be full more often than not.
Aside from new servers we are also working on a new patch. We have a whiteboard we have lovingly dubbed the "HOTBOARD" with the biggest issues on it. Our very existence SINGS with pleasure when we get to slap a checkbox next to one of the items on the HOTBOARD.
