Server Performance Message

This has been a very busy week on kdice and gpokr. I've been racing to keep up with the traffic. I've made many performance improvements this week and I'm slowly being able to get ahead of the traffic demand.

I know its frustrating to get lag and have the server down. Its definitely not the experience I want to provide. I aim to make the sites fast and very responsive and I'm working hard to bring this back.

Testing these high loads on the server wouldn't be possible without everyone here. So I have to thank you for hitting the server hard even when its busy. And if you're too frustrated, I understand, and will welcome you back in a few days, a week, or whenever when I hope the site will be dramatically faster.

Thanks, Ryan... we *do* appreciate it. Or, thjose who don't can go elsewhere. ;-)

I just donated, and I would urge everyone else to donate a little something to the cause. It might improve our situation as well.

So this is mostly back-end issue & or a bandwidth problem?

No, I think he just said that a lot of the problem is fixing bugs, and ironing out performance issues in the server code. Very hard to simulate a heavy server load in the privacy of your own room. So, sometimes you have to debug in a live environment, and fix 'em as you find 'em. Hopefully we're at the flatter part of the slope now...

It is rather frustrating but I'm playing at 1am central time in the US, is the international load that heavy?

On second thought, the server lag literally cost me a game i was on the way to winning. Other players all attacked me and nothing I could do would make my dice attack. So I guess I'm out for a while, hope you get it cleared up.
