A question about "crashing" Server (1 Viewer)

[rager3]

the cool stuff is that u still trying to do it :
Just wait till night

He was being sarcastic obviously.
We are sorry for this annoying problem. Admin is trying to tweak the server software every day in hope of at least reducing the number of crashes. It's not a hardware problem, it is more then capable as you noticed since start. Problem is the l2 server which simply, can't cope with such a huge number of people online. There is a reason retail servers are limited to 6k online (i think this is their limit if i remember well).
Edit: 7k online (real) should work with no problems. After 8k it starts to get messy.

have u (server admins) thought of how server will run during sieges?
i mean .. everybody knows thats sieges r the heaviest part for any server.
and since sieges will be on same time max ppl are online that will be even worse, making the server unplayable even on leveling spots .. imagine on siege zones ... im not saying this will actually happen .. but i would like to know if u admins have any certainties about this ?

Since server handles barakiel zergs quite well sieges won't be any worse ;P It's just the mass disconnects that are the only problem for now but they're not really dependant of currently online players.

been there .. ye server doesnt lag in mass pvp .. but one thing is mass pvp .. another thing is mass pvp during sieges
i've only asked that cuz usually thats the main problem in private servers.

There shouldn't be any lag problems. Seems my last statement was incorrect, as shown by Lagys. From what i understood, it's not the server crashing but the connection to it that gets cut off (didn't connect to server after one of this crashes but if npcs are still there when the connection restores, then the server didn't crash). Probably the switch that was changed today in the datacenter couldn't handle the big data flow. Sad thing is, it seems the new one doesn't do a better job either. Hopefully, a solution will be found until sieges and a better one then just lowering the cap limit. Everyone should have the right to play if they wanted to.

Are there npc's online after the server crashes? If yes, then it clearly is some network related problem in the datacenter. If no npc's after crash, then the server clearly crashed.

and again...

Anyone?

 

[HOKY]

Since yesterday i have ping 9999 for USSR , for the rest of servers i have 71, 72, 93 ping .

Anyone?

Npcs are up in almost all that "dc"

 

[StupidAdvertising]

Then that means the server never crashed in almost all that DC and admin was correct. They probably have some problems in the datacenter with a network switch that fails under high load of traffic. Probably that's why they changed it yesterday but it's still the same situation, sadly...

 

[Aurelius1]

Any crashes today? Or did they finally fixed it?

 

[Blizzen]

4 so far, 2 in last 20 mins

guess i was right ..

Actually, you were not. It was that bad except first 30 minutes when it crashed completelly. Then it went kinda smooth considering the online.

it was smooth cuz it crashed first, duh.

 

[Arcain]

Well, according to your dark vision server should crash or mass dc people during the sieges as well and that didn't happend. Also, doubt if fresh start helped a lot since all of the people and bots logged in back in instantly.
