Hello to all. Stuff
1) We all love our devs. Some people do the "tough love" thing though.
2) Read some of the posts earlier on. If they don't turn your ears to goo, you will probably understand. If they do, then you don't know enough about servers and DB admin to make any qualified remarks (I don't).
3) CCP has already mentioned that the website server and forums are being upgraded, someone from the web cell is working on it. Check the recent dev blogs?
4) EVE already does this, but on a much larger scale then you know. The universe isn't divided into just 2 or 3 servers. It is divided into over a hundred 'nodes.' Each node supports a small group of star systems. Any time you use a jumpgate or change system, you move from one server to another. The DB servers are already not the same server that the system nodes are on. The market, the contracts, bookmarks, hangar, etc are all on their own server array. Again, read some of the dev blogs and above player comments, before you post.
5) You stopped making sense somewhere around here. If everyone would spread out and away from mission hub systems and market hub systems, it would lessen the lag felt on those nodes. EVE can support a lot of players, but the amount of people you can cram on a single node is still finite, and the more NPC's, wrecks, missions being run lower that number significantly.
Simply put, EVE needs a mission agent rework, to spread them out a bit to little traveled systems, to ease node stress on places like Motsu and Saila.
I don't even know if it is possible, but a major solution would be some sort of 'Omgwtfhax' server code that allowed multiple nodes to support a single system, with the ability to add or remove nodes dynamically, on the fly so to speak. So that we don't have to ask in advance to reinforce nodes for epic battles, they can happen seamlessly and afterwards, the node count for the battle can drop down to normal while the victor takes the spoils and the loser flies home or gets a new clone.
