We never really grouped together when you were playing on khyber. Sad times.

I was speaking in generalities and not at all thinking of you. I even noticed and remarked at how you were getting better the more lives we finished. I'm done TRing for a while, though. I'm re-learning end game.

No you don't.

It's a fucking fallacy.  It might have been true with NT 4.0.   Now it's just an old joke that only idiots and neck bearded Nix Admins still believe.


Really? I admire your lack of knowledge of the current crop of Microsoft Operating Systems, so I don't really need to read more of this thread.

Monthly patches from Microsoft have reduced the stats on this, but Microsoft's self-tuning creates havoc for several products (you have to reboot for it to quit fighting for the resources with programs loaded on it). The answer was to throw a lot of hardware (mainly memory) at the issue.

No, I do hate Macs, and don't worship *nix.  I just had to suffer the Microsoft "more-mediocre-products bundled together for the masses" which reminds me somewhat of Turbine (but to a lesser extent).  Don't worry, I heard that Turbine hired the Apple people who previously did the iPhone maps (who previously worked for Microsoft  Wink).

The state of the DDO code will only get worse. Expect more and more problems until the servers are down for days at a time, and Turbine will be force to close the game to see if they can fix it.

They will probably not be able to and that will be the end of DDO.  Cry

1) What asshat admin installs patches monthly?   Who doesn't turn off auto update?  Who doesn't use WSUS?  Does patch Tuesday give you wood?

"This autoupdate is great!   Once, a month all my servers patch.  It give me more time to buff my helmet and play with my lonestar.  "

2) What asshat admin doesn't turn off self tuning on mission critical platforms? 

"This database cluster runs my entire fucking bank.  I'm doing millions of transactions per a minute.  I'm just going to let them all defrag at the same time at 2 am on Sunday when no one is watching.  This automation is great!" 

Nothing will go wrong with that plan..

3) I thought I qualified with if you know what you are doing which you obviously don't.   Stupid is as stupid does.

4) I've been doing this for 20 years.

5)  You have a cute little avatar but you're a dipshit.

6) Eat a dick

They probably shipped server support to India and the only remedies the Indians know is to reboot the machines.

I am waiting for a fainboi to come on with "It is perfectly normal for servers to crash sporadically, and go unfixed for several weeks. You are asking for to much, wanting a stable game environment. Reinstalling your OS should fix it, or get some better equipment noob."

The only person who could say that last night's 8:15pm server drop was OK was someone who was not actually on at the time.  I was 5 minutes away from completing a 30-40 minute quest.  I stood around killing bats to get conquest in a Coal Chamber run and it bit me in the ass.  If I had just killed the cube and moved on, I might have completed before it crashed. 

I didn't bother to try to log back on later.  I just went on to doing other things.

This is the biggest problem when a game has stability issues.  People get frustrated and do something else and eventually that something else replaces the game.  The fact that they are not taking this more seriously is shocking.

Not in my job... Crash are categorized as an incident... traffic affecting crash are categorized as High ( deal with is ASAP during normal hour ) if impact is less than 20% traffic.... traffic affecting crash over 20% traffic are categorized as emergency and shall be dealt with ASAP even if it means waking up a few guys.

( note : I said incident... because there's incidents that can affect traffic that are not involving a crash and a crash can have no traffic impact... at least in my job... Telco )

Oh and yes I'm one of those guys that gets paged/phoned/woken up at indecent hours when something goes belly up and affect more than 20% of the traffic.

And the Almost an hour response time from Turbine everytime G-Land crash irks me a lot.

I'd get fired if I took an hour to respond and fix a 100% traffic affecting emergency.

Telco.
As in I work for one of the company that sells telecom equipments to all the operators in Froggy Lands.

And one of my most favorite move, when I get called is :
Me : Ok, I can fix it really fast by restarting the system. But you won't get the root cause and I won't be able to investigate on the problem.  Investigating and collecting the logs will take me one hour or two, but you will be given the root cause of the problem and we will be able to develop a fix.
Telco : Restart the system now.  ( they always answer that )
Me : Ok, restarting, the traffic should be back up in about 2 minutes.

A buggy bird in the land is worth 3 in the bush?

I've been intrigued at the DDOOracle stats. I control 19 toons, and there's 240k on Khyber? This game is tiny. Anyone know their archive schedule?

...and that doesn't take activity into account.  This is a small MMO.  Any population changes can have a drastic effect.

I have an idea they do archive off complete inactives off the data myDDO is driven from, though, which would I think affect these stats too. Based on looking folk up who have left MAC I'd guess at a year, but it's genuinely a guess. But yes. This game is tiny.
