OK server is up for testing - address is:
gvm.publicvm.com

Toons will not be deleted from the vault unless requested so will probably be available still when we switch to a fully live state, but just bear in mind that at this stage it is still in a testing phase.

Report any bugs/issues here!

There is a Snowpelt spawning in Dor-en-Ernil, near the way to Belfalas.

One thing I really have to say ... everybody loves to play again on this server Cheesy Great thing to see!
The server is being visited like mad the last days ... today I counted 14 toons playing at the same time, probably lots of dual accounts but still quite impressive if you think how many characters where on the server the last months before "the crash"

Now for something completely different ...
Luckely we still are in testmode ... because its now quite clear the server is not capable to hold the pressure of that many people playing together at the same time.
(BTW thanks all for playing en masse, otherwise we didnt discover this on time)

What ive done so far:
rebooted the server and figured out where the pain lies ... discovered that its not the servers memory, but almost certain the CPU!  hiding
Bad luck I run the server on a quite old motherboard (dont want to exchange this one for a new one ... because otherwise I lose too much time reconfiguring and rediscovering all the things I run now on this machine. (new motherboards always come with new problems)

Ive found out that the CPU I have now is almost the cheapest and lowest of the CPU's this motherboard can have. The best this "old one" can have is a CPU INTEL Pentium D 960 3.6Ghz Dual Core 3600Mhz/4M/800 BEST PD socket 775 P46.
(Its almost twice as good as the one I have running now)
So I searched whole internet and finally found this one at eBay and ordered it.
It will be transported from Italy to my place in The Netherlands and will arrive around this wednesday - friday (27-29 nov.)
So I think the server will be down for at least 1 or 2 hours or so on Saturday 30 November 2013.
(Dunno at what time yet)  offtheair

Now an appeal to everyone:
This old (but better) CPU thing (including thermal pasta I found somewhere else) did cost me exactly 69 euros
Is it possible that there are volunteers who will pay for this upgrade with me together?
I'll need at least 10 volunteers because then those only have to pay me 5 euro each ... (the rest I'll pay).

Hope you guyz will help me out in this one Cool

I'll keep you all posted on "the upgrade story"

The upgrade story - final chapter (at least it should be)

Ok I was right on schedule.
started today at 8:15 and finished 9:57 (GMT+1)

It was a little bit harder than I thought it should be ... despite my earlier thoughts I still had to dismantle my whole motherboard  Cry

But ... new processor now in place and working like a charm.  hello2 headbang

For those geeks like me out there:
new processor has slightly more speed 3600MHz instead of 3400MHz
slightly more cache L1:32MB instead of 16MB and L2:4MB instead of 512KB
clock speed 200MHz instead of 133MHz

So the server should be slightly better of now.
should have bit less lag than used to.

This server will never be a big monster which can hold lots of playing toons with ease.
Therefore its limit will still be max. 20 people playing at once.

We shall soon learn if this new processor will show expected improvements in performance and hope this will make everybody happy to enjoy playing on this server without (much) lag.

Have fun !!
