Server too Small!!

I hate not being able to get on sometimes.. Why cant the server be big like some of the other servers.. I think you should change the server size.. B/C it gets really annoying sometimes..

That's funny - someone was just complaining it's too empty now...

Going over around 46 can lead to even worse performance.

We are, however, taking action soon. And, the 2006 flavor of soon at that...

Interesting news.

We have one of the fastest servers out there for ns4 and 46 is the max it will do becuase of the complexity of the mod. Other servers that go higher have alot less stuff. Its the sad trade off with this engine.

And yes there will be a new NS4 server coming online in place of NS3.5 midwest.

Will it be 2 separate servers, or will they be linked?

The plans as I understand them is a seperate entity.

Separate - they're in geographically separate areas so there's no vault/db sharing across them.

There's advanatages and disadvantages to adding another server at NS4's current location, but it came down to an availability of resources. Any additional hardware we want to make an investment in will probably be for the NWN2 project. So, DM Fire had a server he graciously offered to let us use, so we're going with that.

We've never tried a separate community for NS4, so we'll see how it works.

Unknown.

On Ns 3.5 guilds were allowed to participate on any and all servers. It was an individual guild descision. I would expect it to be the same on NS 4.

As a former guild leader who had a guild on 3 servers, be forwarned that maintaining a guild across multiple servers can be very difficult.

I'd rather split the server across the middle than have the playerbase totally broken in half by making it two parallel servers.

But, like I said above, that wasn't really an option given our server resources.

So, this is the next best thing. And who knows, maybe even a better thing.
