New Server (EU)

[Panzerstyle]

Nice! Looking forward to trying it

What?

A stock i5 2500K can be one-click-overclocked to 4.2GHz and with middle-range cooling it's pretty safe. 4 cores at 4.2 is less than 6 at 3.2, but we all know that doesn't really add up... Anyway the overclocking possibilities of the i7 3930k are probably very good too.

My poor little laptop will die.

Make EU4 80 slot with banner balance?

Well, we need more cores because we run several servers on a machine. Overclocking is a big no anyway, we don't know the hoster's policy on that.

Good to see the community is still growing

We just got a new machine (i7-3930K, 64 GB RAM), and we will be moving the servers over the next few days.
At the same time we'll also be testing an improved server software that we hope will allow us to raise the player limit on EU1. It might still be a bit buggy, so bear with us and report anything that seems to be off.

NA_1 would like this stuff toO! Do not forget about us!

Unfortunately dedicated server hosting prices in NA are stupidly high, so that's unlikely for now.

can the new server handle 200 players lol ? :/

if it came down to a higher player count or less lag .... lag reduction would be better imo ...

Well take off Na_4 no one uses it, so it is a waste of money!
Don't see it, so maybe it was taken down?

I mean whats an estimate of how much it cost?

It might be the game itself that gets even more dodgy and weird at a 200 player limit.

And not the server specs. This still needs some testing though.

DTV is buggered, AI only spawns a few mobs.  Posted on IRC as well.

We know, that's the software improvements we're talking about (better multithreading).

DTV is not running on the new server.
We know about the bug, should be fixed soon.

We are trying to get EU1 to 200 people so we can run some tests and record some stats. That's why i'll double gold & xp on EU1 for the next few hours. share the message.

Ah fuck off, I have to get up early tomorrow.
