You forgot to promise them free stuff and plentiful rewards for 'helping' you guys test stuff. Remember when you asked for help before they all said thats your job not theirs..

Originally by: HeliosGal less lag shame about the rest of the game but good work i guess
Go back to the test server forums and troll there.
All this can be applied to nullsec and hopefuly will increase the amount of players that can be online and playing at once before the node croaks. Especially if ccp increases the total amount of servers that are seeded in nullsec.

Quote: Okay... the spec:
IBM HS22 1 x Xeon 4C X5667 95W 3.06GHz/1333MHz/12MB 6 x 8GB PC3-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 1333MHz VLP RDIMM 146 GB 2.5in Slim-HS 10K 6GB SAS HDD
Just a random sugestion here, why not use SSD (solid state) drives? most have 1.5 million days MTBF, are MASSIVELY faster than old style HDD's and with garbage colection routines built in they dont degrade over time any more (even if the OS does not support TRIM).
Whats more, lifespans have been significantly extended with new memory chips with high numbers of write cycles supported.. on a 32GB drive (100gb + is more common), you can write 100GB of data every day for 8 years before the drive starts to wear out.
Just a random sugestion
I'm starting to roll them out throghout our datacenter, they are great IMVHO.
They already use ssd tech for the database. The drives on the actual nodes themselves are probably only for boot up and low level system stuff. Though who knows it might make some sort of diffence so couldn't hurt to buy one and stick it on the jita node since it seems to be the new 'live' lag test bed.

Contact the head of Red vs Blue and ask them to stage a fleet fight in jita. That should give you plenty of additional data to chomp on.

Something else to think about for getting higher numbers is the fact that not very many people who are ingame are reading the forums. Maybe put out an in ingame message like the traffic advisorys around the jita area asking for players to move into jita or log on an alt if they have the time to help?

Originally by: CCP Yokai Seriously... only 1200... thought you guys had alts or something.
Evidence that your off track with your client base. The only reason anyone goes to Jita is to buy and sell. You seem to thnk that because you've made a new node for Jita more people will go there. Why? To compound the lack of insight you suggest that people in jita should log on alts... ...the characters you see in Jita are the alts. Why would a player have more than 2 fully trained trading alts unless they are permament scammers who need to look clean?
In fact the whole thread is a repetition of that same theme.
He is not asking the people in jita to log in alts. He is asking for anyone to log in some alts and go to jita to stress the new hardware. Hence the message asking for players to head over to jita on the news items when you get to the character screen.
In fact your whole poast is a repetition of the same troll you always troll.

Originally by: Jita Alt666 It was not a troll, it was direct feedback of the manner inwhich this testing is being conducted. Again CCP are asking for us to help them test their gear, and again ccp are expressing disatisfaction in the low number of paying subscribers who are willing to help them. I am simply saying that system wont get 1800-2000 players into Jita tonight. Jita is a system full of trading alts there to make ingame isk - why would I (an presumably many other subscribers) stop running my: r&d grind on an alt 30ish jumps out, pos erection on an alt 45ish jumps out, station reinforcing alt 35ish jumps out, to help test the load on Jita.
The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them, but thankyou for pointing out that my post was unclear I hope I have clarified things in this post.
Feedback requires something helpful to be stated or a problem to be defined. You had nothing helpful to add and only pointed out the obvious which I promptly cleard up. Plus you were quite negative in your tone. Hence: troll. And no I will not ignore you.
As far as the last part of the poast well then don't arse yourself to help if its going to get in the way of your game. But do you speak for every single player with alts? Maybe there are a few with inactive alts they wouldn't mind to stick in a shuttle and shuffle off to jita on autopilot as they play the game with their main?
Always with the negative waves man. Have a little faith baby.

Originally by: Jita Alt666 Zeba, I feel we are getting off topic and derailing the thread. Which is not constructive feedback at all. However you raise a couple points that I feel need addressing.
1. If the problem I raised is obvious, why does CCP repeat it on a weekly basis. Do the same things and you get the same results. Indeed with our combined posting it is becoming more obvious but at the expense of the overall thread.
2. To test the node capacity you suggest "a few" players with in active alts could autopilot over. Jita has just dropped under 1100, by "a few" do you mean 1000 players auto-pilot over to Jita?
To test the node's capacity CCP need to engage with their client base, when your most vocal dissenters back you up or disappear, you know things are working well.
Then make a suggestion as to how ccp can get more players into jita to test the new hardware. I have already made two suggestions and all you have done is snipe at ccp for 'failing' without any other content. I mean obviously ccp wants to get as many people into jita as possible in a short a time as possible so give it some time to perculate through the playerbase. Even an alliacne leader can't simply snap his fingers and get a 1000 ship blob formed on a whim. Besides if they don't get it today they will tommorrow or the next day as more people log in and read the forums or the news items. Maybe that offer for the dev dancing needs to be extended?

Originally by: Jita Alt666 I have made numerous suggestions regarding the long term development of eve online and how CCP could re-engage with its playerbase, in the appropriate forums/threads. Your correct that an alliance leader cant create a 1000man blob with a snap of the fingers. However when an alliance leader wishes to create a 1000man blob he/she informs the players well inadvance of the need to be present. Most of the alliances I have been involved with, have leaders who can - combined with other fleets - rustle up 1000 players in under 5 hours.
Using existing storylines and a bit of creativity it shouldnt be pretty difficult to rustle numbers: silly example: Utilise recent Sansha Incursion, "There are rumours of a sansha manipulated wormhole being targeted to develop in Jita. The last of these manipulated wormholes resulted in a sizable Sansha force emerging in high security space and momentarely overwhelming concord forces. Inside sources indicate the wormhole generation attempt will be between 1700 - 2300 on Wednesday 25 August 114. The same sources indicate that the Sansha Forces will be heavily dependent on their own faction ships and modules. Concord are appealing for capsuleer help to limit this attempted incusrion."
Other threads are not this thread. And thanks for the ontopic positive post.
anyhoo..
If this new hardware is any indication of the servers potential new performance levels especially if this is the 'low end' of the new stuff it looks like eve will be primed and ready for the influx of new players when incarna hits along with hopefully a real marketing campaign in all the major rags and other gamer sites. Who knows, maybe this is also part of the final pieces of the puzzle to fix the fleet lag issue. Then it would be a truely glorious expansion.

Originally by: Jita Alt666 1. By responding to me you have effectively derailed this thread. Thats why suggestions go in suggestion threads and feedabck goes in feedback threads 2. You made no reference to my suggestion. This is also true of CCP and the myriad of suggestions people put forward. Thats why people fail to provide suggestions. 3. To get to the final pieces of the lag puzzle they need to find the first pieces. 4. If CCP dont fix the game as it is before the release Incarna, some one will figure out a way to make it rain *****es.
hoo boy..

Originally by: Obsidian Hawk Went to jita yesterday to play around. Switched between brackets, no brackets, everything and nothing on overviews and several variations there of. no lag between them switches were extremely smooth.
now if i could find out why my client crashes randomly
Probably because they are tweaking around the server settings. Had a couple myself after doing some session changes playing with the alts but its not very common at least for me.

Originally by: Jita Alt666 I heard that a ccp employee told a csm that we were allowed to attempt to break jita. That they simply wanted as many people in local as possible.
Is this true? Will I get into trouble for logging all my accounts on and sitting on all gates/undocks and insynch launching smart bombs?
For once Jitafest is an 'approved' activity.

Originally by: TriadSte Core I7 are right now the very best CPU known to mankind. Why not use one of these for Jita? How is a Xeon better? theres no faster CPU for number crunching than a I7.
Use some google-fu: the server blade mentioned at the start of this thread uses the server version (Xeon Westmere) of the Core i7.
Server cpu >>>>>>>>>>> consumer cpu.

Originally by: hydlided 1200 people in jita... I think we can do much better then this guys :)
Well this ongoing lack of topping out jitas population has certainly killed the theory that if you raise the pop cap in jita they will only fill it to capacity and then demand MOAR!

Originally by: Lanu Really smooth experience so far.
Yeah. I'm also curious about how this new hardware will help out with general nullsec lag. Also now that we know that 1200ish is about the limit for a normal prime time jita population I wonder what fleet fights will eventually top out at?

Originally by: sir gankalot Witnessed it go over 2k, sitting in station spinning my ship was still fine. Did not do anything else but was also able to caht in my usual channels without lag. God knows that has not always been the case
And the coolest thing is that apparently the hardware that is being used isn't the absolute best they could get as this is simply a test run to see if it would be worth it.
Welp, ccp get to ordering the really good stuff nao!!
