 Wanna bet?
 
 I got a very good idea fleet fights on dedicated nodes will change significantly when we put the new server in place :)
 
 
 Why was there an animal attached to it? Shouldn't you be humping it instead? I wish I was there... :( I love hardware pr0.nz...

 Also:
 
 The processor is not announced by Intel but I can hint they have been semi publicly as special samples in the recent past. I'm working on an okay to talk about the exact specs, but until the server is up and live... I doubt I'll be able to.
 
 The IBM server it is going into is from an existing model line but is a special system as well.
 
 What I can also tell you is worries about one off customs are not an issue. This is a server, purpose build from IBM/Intel and is well supported. This is the only way were wanted to give a cool node to the players.
 
 We'll have a SUPER DETAILED (loads of pics too) blog about this once it's live in a few weeks!!!
 
 I think "super-node" doesn't do this server justice... I'm thinking we should start a naming contest for it on the forums :)

 This server was an internal project the Virtual Worlds Team took on... basically it can double fleet fights... but the means we had to go to... well are ridiculous. But! The new server we are talking about matches or exceeds what we got from our Frankenstein server in a much more elegant package.

 What will you do once you triple the allowable fleet size and NC just jumps in quadruple the number of blobbers?
 
 It's good to see more horsepower being thrown at EvE but shouldn't you at CCP also throw in some brain power and make futile to outscale your efforts?
 
 
 Edit: same for Jita.
 
 It's not a success to squeeze in 2500 in Jita local.
 
 It's a failure the act of designing a single central hub centric game.

 There better be graphs. It wouldn't be a CCP Tech blog without alot of graphs.
 
 Also as others have said it does sound like a prototype server. If so isn't that quite risky to run on a live server. Or will it just be used as backup for reinforcing nodes.

 Good luck on the new server!

 CCP didn't do anything to design Jita to be the central market, it happened naturally due to it being relatively central and at the time a major mission hub. ( As it's importance as a central market hub grew CCP moved the agengents away due to system load )

 Well, obviously it should be called HAL. It's an IBM system, (take one letter from each letter of IBM, etc).
 
 Also, I'm sure that occasionally it will be saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that".
 
 HAL definitely. Doesn't have to be the 9000 model though :)

 Technology keeps getting smaller, what once consumed entire buildings now fits in something the size of a filing cabinet.
 
 Give it 10 more years, they will be running Eve server on an iPad.

 While that is true however CCP has effected it directly as far as making it grow. Adding more entry points that connected to other regions kind of forced it into the mega hub that it is today. Doing so made it easier to traffic there which diminished a lot of local trade in other areas.
