I really wanted to understand this post. I must have read it over three or four times before I finally gave up comprehension. Maybe it's because I don't play Diablo but every time I read this post I just get more and more confused.
In other aspects though this is a nice time to rant about the current MMPOG situation! Anarchy Online in my opinion was a complete flop and continues to be up to this moment and Everquest just doesn't hold much for you anymore. It seems that we as consumers are stuck until Shadowbane or Dark Ages of Camelot ends up coming out.
Recent reports show that in order to optimize revenue OSDN has decided to combine the popular sites Slashdot and Freshmeat to great the mega portal, slashmeat.
Right now my company is doing great on 1 Dell Poweredge server. With dual 1GHz's and 1GB of ram we use it to serve up 6,000,000+ impressions a month. The server also has Raid-5 with 4 9.1GB 10k SCSI drives and those seem to help a lot, they are all hot swappable too, our hardware raid has 256MB of onboard memory too. The server also does all the database operations and the biggest load we really see on the server is.91 at peak time. We move somewhere along the lines of 400GB of data monthly but this was definitely a pretty interesting read. If banners weren't doing so badly right now I would love to have a similar setup.
