A question About This Amateur Game.

[Flame]

I was thinking.
Why an amateur game with a home made server, should be opened to all the players; also those players that the server can't handle?
If server can handle 1000 players, it seems to me obvious that, after reached 1000 registered users, it lock the insciptions.
This is an evil choise?
I think is a logic choise. No one of us have 1 billions to donate to HH to let dev's buy a Cool Nasa Server Homemade. This is simply an amateur game that dev's build in they'r free time. I'm wondering why let it open to 3000000 users if server can handle 1000.
If this game will be unlucky, someday he'll see 400000 new users that will discover this game and then, Patatrack!! the game will be unplayable, people will quit, no one will send donations enough for 400000 users and new users will never donate anything for a crashing lagging unplayable game.

Imho.
An Amateur game have the right to put a "stop Inscription" to guarantee an average gameplay to those 1000 players.

Or not?


Ps: Are you ready for the first answer that will be so smart to say "No 8D!" ? I'm ready for this stupidity. Show you'r best, forum! :3

Amatorial: I do not think it means what you think it means. HnH is not about making love. it is about drowning.

[Flame]

Amatorial = Homemade, Not professional, Not for Sell.
This, i mean.

And

"HnH is not about making love. it is about drowning."

This have nothing to do with server issue. No argument detectet. You'r the first of the topic 8D. You won the first place.

Welcome back Flame, where have you been :O ! Not on the forums D:!

If this game got 4000000 players at one time, the problem wouldn't be that the server couldn't handle it. If necessary, the server could just shut down after too much bandwidth was taken up.

The real problem would be the fact that there would be a noob running around every five tiles of this tiny world.

That's Amateur. Amatory means "having to do with love; especially sexual love".

I'm alright with caps, or queues being put in place. However it's tricky drawing the line. The lag is not entirely caused by the number of players, so it's hard to say exactly how many players it can handle and remain stable. The only issue with caps in a game like this is that you could very well be prevented from logging in whilst your town is being ransacked by enemies.

or also that the server will never restart again.

I will be nice and be only one that doesn't troll ya

the problem with your logic is this

1000 accounts does not equal 1000 players on at one time
