Setkhan	Posted - 2009.06.14 07:29:00 - [62] Cookie please? =) Anyway, nice blog. Love hardware talk, and it interesting getting to know what CCP use to make the wheels on EVE running.
IlluminatedOne Amarr Tycho Brahe Fan Club	Posted - 2009.06.14 11:39:00 - [63] Nice blog. Speaking of 64-bit: any chance we can get a 64-bit client anytime soon? Thank you.
LaVista Vista Conservative Shenanigans Party	Posted - 2009.06.14 18:01:00 - [64] Originally by: IlluminatedOne Nice blog. Speaking of 64-bit: any chance we can get a 64-bit client anytime soon? Thank you. EVE is a dumb telnet client. There's no point.
Garia666 Amarr T.H.U.G L.I.F.E White Core	Posted - 2009.06.16 09:57:00 - [65] Best written devblog ever. clear and simple straight up and informal. very nicely done.. Cant w8 for better performance and less downtime
Astria Tiphareth Caldari 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2009.06.16 16:34:00 - [66] Absolutely superb blog. A great read & very informative. Originally by: LaVista Vista EVE is a dumb telnet client. There's no point. Not entirely true (that there's no point). There are benefits to be had out of having a native 64-bit client on a 64-bit OS; whether they outweight the investment CCP would have to make (as last I recall there are third party APIs they'd have to either replace or get a 64-bit build of) is an entirely different question. To avoid driving the thread off-topic I won't go into details, but to compare a fully fledged graphically intensive client, that shows every sign of getting more audio-visually intensive over time, with telnet, a dumb text-based channel system, is just a little absurd.

CCP Valar	Posted - 2009.06.19 09:29:00 - [68] As a small update to this, if anyone is still paying attention. We missed our last launch window for the upgrade to SQL Server 2008 before Apocrypha 1.3 due to technical issues related to the replication. We are just running at too high a transaction count to run it under the settings we had originally planned for, so we had to postpone for adjustments to the plan. The upgrade is currently scheduled for August, when people come back from their holidays. ---- Virtual World Database Administrator Operations department CCP Games


CCP Valar	Posted - 2009.06.19 09:32:00 - [69] Originally by: Terranid Meester I miss the Jovian Valar. /me sheds a tear All Jovian dev characters have been retired. I was not happy to see him go either, we went back a long time. ---- Virtual World Database Administrator Operations department CCP Games

PJRiddick	Posted - 2009.06.19 12:53:00 - [72] ummmm,....i didnt get my cookie -=+>xXx<+=-

CCP Valar	Posted - 2009.06.20 18:16:00 - [73] Originally by: PJRid**** ummmm,....i didnt get my cookie -=+>xXx<+=- One of the hideous things I do to characters every downtime is force feed them. I've force fed yours a cookie. The inhabitants of New Eden experience "Event Horizon"-ish events during every downtime, while you bathe, eat and sleep. Uhm, forget I said anything... they might hear about it ---- Virtual World Database Administrator Operations department CCP Games

Lab Ratorius	Posted - 2009.06.25 09:16:00 - [75] what?
Zedah Zoid Nutz N Boltz	Posted - 2009.06.26 13:51:00 - [76] Originally by: Dead6re Originally by: CCP Valar You are right, sometime last year, we had only 4 Wolfdales, that we used for fleet fights. In december we upgraded half the cluster and few weeks ago we upgraded the rest. Now all of the cluster is running on Wolfdales. You still have to send in fleet fight notifications so we can dedicate a node for a fleet fight, as otherwise the solarsystem might be on a node with a whole constellation mapped on it as well. Will EVE ever be able to relocate resources across the nodes, so it would detect a fleet battle and move the other systems in the constellation to other nodes? I was wondering about this one myself. Is it a limitation of the current application that the solar systems and constellations can only be mapped to a particular blade during downtime? This is really something to look at on the backend I think as the virtualization scene in blades is becoming more robust everyday. Dynamic allocation of blade resources to servers experiencing higher loads would be wonderful! It would be great if computing resources could follow player blobs around in real time as needed.
Sel'Na Rey	Posted - 2009.07.02 04:24:00 - [77] Hey Valar Did you guys look into other SQL database providers like Oracle, IBM or Teradata? I have it on good information that Teradata runs some of the most highly optimized, parallelized, and scalable database hardware/software solutions. I suppose code compatibility could be a minor problem, unless the vast majority of SQL statements used in EVE are not entirely ANSI compliant. I'm not trying to Microsoft bash or anything, since I do think they have a decent product. I'm curious if there was any internal discussions/evaluation of other DB providers prior to the upgrade. I hope EVE is here to stay for a long while. Maybe next upgrade cycle CCP will consider other system which could boost performance and provide greater analytics. Oh I do have a nice big cookie to give you for the awesome post.
desudesuu	Posted - 2009.08.02 11:30:00 - [78] kay, so since you've mega vamped your tech crap i guess we can bring back inactive account training since, y'know, it isn't such a big "load" on your -CPU'S- anymore
