It's a tiny drop in the ocean compared to Eve but I keep looking at it and thinking "How can I stop it growing?" I am considering turning the users off because they are spoiling my database. we discuss similar things :) An on-going project is trimming the market orders table - we tried to talk the game designers into just letting us truncate the table but they wanted no part of it :) Make everything on the market a fixed price, then the table will become much smaller. Seems a good compromise to me :)
In this market order clean up, we noticed that there is one crazy player that has an open order for 7 years now!!!! Any order expires after 90 days unless you update it...
So this player has been modifying this one order, at least once every 90 days, for the last 7 frickin years!! haha
There are 3 items left in his sell order - I wanted to just go buy them so there wouldn't be such a big gap in ID's :)
I got over ruled on that as well

I'm curious about that 7 year old market order. Is it an overpriced sellorder, an underpriced buyorder or an item that nobody ever buys? Build your empire ! Start today ! Rent Space in Perrigen Falls and Feythabolis Contact me for details :)

It's gotta be a finger slip order that's hoping to catch a drunken finger slip. The quantity is small and it probably cost a lot to set up - hence the desire not to pay to set it up again. |

I don't think I've had a market order last over 180 days, usually after a few weeks of modifying orders I get bored, go do something else, and forget about it I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me!

it is a sell order, that started with 20 units - 17 sold and 3 left :)
it's only like 1.6 mil per unit and not the highest in the region. CCP DeNormalized DBA Virtual World Operations |

Hey DeNormalized when is CCP going to set up a database administrator's player event? We could all drink beer and complain about users touching the database. |

It could be the only Eve player event ever where no one was allowed to log onto Eve.
We do it every year @ fanfest during our virtual worlds admin round table/QandA :)

Matching your OS level blocksize in a good manner to the SAN block size is fairly important. I hope they took your 64K size into account when they laid out the storage. This doesn't always have to perfectly match but it usually does. 64k is kinda an oddball. Would love to know that someone actually ran performance tests with 4/8/16/32/64k blocksizes at both tiers.

This should be like a treasure hunt, where we go and try to find this item. Since there's not much isk to be made on a 1.6m item I would guess that this is in null and is maybe a cyno generator, on the market for availability in the region and not for making isk. That's my guess anyhow, as any other explanation seems completely irrational lol.. |

I also passed it onto security so they could check if it was some long forgotten about market bot sitting in someones closet praying for someone to buy the damn things so it could end itself :) CCP DeNormalized DBA Virtual World Operations |

A lone old marketbot sits on some big traders client... all obsolete, it's purpose lost, save for one last trade-order. For years it's been keeping it up, adjusting it's price, to make it last, this one last & sole reason for it's abandoned existence. It wants it to end, for 7 years it's been toiling with it's lonely market-order, all forgotten, not only by it's master, the Trader, but also by the denizens of Eve, who just pass by it's order, only buying something once in a blue moon... fuelling the poor bot's delusion that eternal rest is there, and yet it is denied, just beyond it's grasp as the buyer elaves, and the order goes on, untouched, save for the small manipulation of the old market-bot to keep itself and it's lonely order in existence. 3 items to go, and then eternal rest awaits, the bliss of nothingness... no more markets, no more Eve... no more a forgotten existence, toiling with this one lonely forgotten order... *Buy this item* it says; *save me from my existence of nothingness* it cries... but the only answer is silence....

Wow seems alot of folks enjoyed my inspirational flash. Glad to hear so many like it! All the info CCP DeNormalized released about this marketorder made it felt so tragic, and then he came up with the thought of a marketbot and it just all fell in place!
Neat! I'm a fan of Isaac Asimov's writings, but never read this short story until now. Cheers for linking it!
Also, this thread's the best, has it all, from technical info on how the server deals with data to CCP generating content & players acting on it (the market order!)
Best to go back to the thread, would hate to see it locked for derailment I wonder how much data our assets are occupying on the server? As unlike other MMO's, we can have stuff everywhere indefinatly, so I suspect it would be a big drain on data storage? Or not really as it's more static?
