NoLimits was one of the best promisance experiences I have ever had. Could you bring it back?

Yes, and one of the most expensive, for me at least. :/
Anyways, that's what The Challenge is for, sort of...

an atcual no limits like the test bach would be cool

Post by **Ruddertail** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:22 pm

Hmm. That would be kind of fun. But maybe a bit slower, 500/10 or something...

10,000 turns not enough?

naw
we wanna crash the server!

I say we tests its limits.. 10 of us sign up, then all scout all of our 10k turns at the exact same moment.. wonder what it'll do? stall? or could it handle it?

experiment!!

Meh. The FAF code is lean, it's not that. And the issue wasn't crashing the server last time: the server was fine, but we went over the arbitrary "2% of the CPU" limit, leading to the account being terminated. But anyways, that was /millions/ of scouts tens of times: so your test wouldn't be much of a load anyways...
I chose 10,000 because it's reasonable and fun. Not much too much, but 10,000 is enough for a skilled player, even a not-so-skilled one. I am not changing policy.

yeah but you dont get 10,000 turns per 10 mins or whatever

Post by **windhound** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 4:22 pm

I didnt think it'd do much, but eh

only 2% with millions of turns?
good server or quite light code? probably a combo ^__^

Well, it went /over/ 2%.. I wouldn't be surprised if it went up to 99% for a few seconds, because after all processes that need the most CPU are given the most CPU if nobody else is using it.

why cant we have a server like the test bash was? even if it only lasts for a weekend like RWL commandersthingy.

Because guests do not wreck the house.

How about we all stop pestering Beatles to add a new server. We have enough to run a successful game as it is. Now, we need to go to other gaming sites and advertise FAF more.

I second that motion.
