First :P
Nice to see Kali heading our way but it will require a lot more testing once it hits SISI which is where all you wonderful players come in, treat it like home and make sure it works you can all stop the bugs getting to TQ by logging in to SISI and making sure all the features work correctly :)

Tomorrow, the Dev team is heading to Barcelona for the weekend for the annual team building exersize and one final break before the big push in the coming months. It's going to be busy, Kali is feature frozen and public testing is around the corner, FanFest is on the horizon, the holidays just after that.
So what about the blog? Well, there's hardware, Kali updates, fixes and even quotes from Churchill and Jackson.

more nodes yay \o/
one might ask tho: extra number of nodes will not mean such great increase of performance that we might be lead onto?
I still belive that most lag issues are software related and not hardware-related.

Nice blog... but im still abit worried. Are you sure you can support the growing number of players by just adding more and more nodes? I keep saying that real time dynamic load balancing must be a good solution, but maybe its too complex and difficult to put in?
And Kali coming to the test server next week sounds fantastic. I will be there to help find the bugs if you do some fresh TQ mirroring. My character on the test server sucks. :)

Remember as a developer myself its always the hardwares fault. If you loose threads you cant blame the software.
I remember when there where hardware additions before and at the same time they changed the solarsystem jump gates. Seems CCP likes to do things that cant be traced to a specific cause but an over all mess.

I'm guessing the new nodes are to help out with the new regions. I could imagine real time dynamic load balancing being very painful, as context switching an entire system and all the pilots in that system to a new node would offset the performance increase. I can only guess, though.
Some sort of more advanced predictive analysis should be possible, though. Ie, if 50 people are travelling in one direction, and 50 others are travelling separately, it should be possible to predict that they would meet somewhere within a few jumps, so those systems in that area could all get loaded onto 'clean' nodes that were very low on the utilization scale, presuming that system isn't already loaded. Again, just guessing, though.
I have to wonder, where does this put CCP in that supercomputer list now?

What elements of Kali will be added to the test server? All the Kali 1 stuff or will they be added piece at a time to allow for more focused testing?

If nothing else it should mean there are going to be less times when there is a queue to jump into an empty system as less systems will share nodes.
But as we have seen in the past not even having the system on a dedicated node is enough if the fleets are large enough.

Scanning is gonna be sweet in Kali and I doubt they are adding so much space that all the new nodes will go to that.
All in all, super great news.

isn't that somthing they teach you early in programing (101) not to change to much at one time take smaller steps in code so you know where somthing goes wrong when it does :P
and let kali come woooot finaly some new ships agen

[...]Not only that, we're always ordering something new and we don't always mention everything - but it's days like today which are fun to mention, because we have some big batches of hardware coming from IBM over the next months, resulting in more than 30 servers being added to Tranquility (that's 60 more nodes).[...]
I love you Oveur!!

Looking forward to the new hardware, I'm just curious as to what an effect it's really going to have.
I remember the last hardware upgrade, unfortunately it didn't do the wonder job everyone hoped it did. With kali comming soon, there is also going to be a massive influx of new players. Will the new hardware have the desired effect, or will it always be a battle?.
Don't mean to sound so negative, but y'know
I hope the hardware and kali optimizations live up to your hopes CCP, kudos to you all.
Looking forwards to the new stuff.

Yes, PLEASE PLEAS PLEASE do a new mirror before Kali goes to SISI. I reactivated my account a week ago and I cant wait to see what awaits in Kali.
I love beta testing other games, but I am more then happy to help refine a expansion to this allready sweet game.

Nice! The only thing about half of us want to know is will we get a mirror? Because its a pain having skills that are 6 month out of date.

Nice info about the new hardware!
But I have one request: STOP announcing, that you will put Kali on Sisi. Just do it!
