  2. Re:No you can't on EVE Online Battle Breaks Records (And Servers) · · Score: 1

    About a year ago, CCP replaced the cluster, they already have a cluster on par with the super computers IBM can build for the money. Eve is already subdivided pretty decently, it is just these surprise loads that it can't handle, and there is a notification process to prevent a surprise load from causing problems, I guess it just takes too long to perform as it requires about 24 hours notice so the solar system can be moved to a more powerful server all by itself.

  3. Re:Easy fix on EVE Online Battle Breaks Records (And Servers) · · Score: 1

    They do an amazing job when the node is put into reinforced mode when they are notified about it. Trying to do a fleet battle of this size on a non reinforced node is like trying to run vista on a 386.

    You expect any code to handle 1500 people in the system at once? That is a ton of data to move from server to server for you to spawn in the new system. If you are so confident in the bugs, apply for a programming job and help them fix it, I am sure they will pay you big bucks to point out the bug. So is it also a bug of their software that causes you to wait a few seconds when jumping normally, or is it maybe the hard drive -> memory -> cpu/video card bus speed of your computer to blame? This is the same problem, networks are only so fast, and expecting 700+ characters to move onto a new node quickly is quite a bit to expect. perhaps next time, someone will notify CCP that they intend to attack at a given time so that the node can be reinforced, for free I might add...

    I even did the math, came out to $20k-30k depending on the true losses, $20k-25k just for the Titans.

    I have noticed this as well, and I was pleasantly surprised to find if from Goons who I thought prided themselves on their low maturity.

    You can also sell the GTC on the Game Time Bazaar, but I have noticed PLEX makes more money recently.

    The difference would be in taxing, which is why the EULA of Eve doesn't allow transfers of Isk out of the game. Only answering the question, if I had mod points, this would be AC, and you would be modded up, very good post.

    You can insure Titans (the 4-5 ships lost) for most of their value, much like a car

    Except the ones who lost the ships were the DDoSers...

  11. Re:I'm not sure about their policy... on EVE Online Battle Breaks Records (And Servers) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Especially Goons in this fight, most populous, third most populous, and a rather small alliance ganging up on an alliance that is still not up to full strength, I think the numbers in the fight were around 1000 - 500 in favor of Goon's side.

  12. Re:I'm not sure about their policy... on EVE Online Battle Breaks Records (And Servers) · · Score: 1

    Actually, from speaking to people after the fight, it was Goon's intention to crash the node. There is a procedure to "reinforce" the node for these fights which makes one solar system run on one server which would have handled this fight I imagine (1500 is a huge number in one fight) Goons chose to not submit an application for reinforcement of the system in order to crash the node and possibly win the fight, they failed, boohoo for them. :)

  13. Re:This is sick! on Microsoft Policies Help Virus Writers, Says Security Firm · · Score: 1

    Then when Linux is attacked in the same way as Windows we will see just how secure it is? There have been viruses written for Linux, it is not inherently secure.

    It means just as much as the original poster when he said:

    AC was commenting on the missing verb by also leaving out his verb.

    Maybe it allows people to see how awful the writing of the author is? Not that I can write, but if the author is truly bad, it would probably show in an excerpt.

    I see now, I totally fell for that. I actually parsed the Austria as Australia.

    Yes I am American, but I was saying it entirely tongue in cheek.

    Also, I am really surprised you were modded troll, but it happens.
