A question About This Amateur Game.

first of all I don't give a shit about what this is about but just wanted to point out this game isn't amateur

So you'll acknowledge the fact that more servers would allow for more people, so instead of booting people off who want to play, which is a negative, adding servers would be the right thing to do, if lag was indeed caused by the number of people (which I've heard said was not the case, but idk).

more servers would screw up trade big time

They're not being paid to make it, thus it's a amateur production.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, HnH is certainly a lot more interesting than most multimillion dollar productions, but it's just how English works.

After 3 month you delete the unused accounts. You can put that 5 month later, the account is deleted.
To be sure to let players play, you put the max user to 1500 also if server can handle 1000.

So a perfect server is 1000 users.
Around 100 or 200 or more are unused account that are waiting deleting.
1200 are the real users playing, the server is more than average.

deleting accounts in any mmo is so unthinkable that I suspect you must have used the wrong words here.

you couldn't possibly have proposed an idea that terrible

[cobaltjones]

Not to mention the fact that unused accounts have absolutely no effect on the server.

[Flame]

Remove unused accounts give the right amount of Numbers of users that in the last two month played the game. Or all the proportion fall in error if we don't know how much people play.


Anyway, this is an Amateur game, so everyone can suggest a better way to improve the game service. One way is Donate. Who don't have to donate (or have already donate) can suggest that those money may be more usefull if the server or the software is builded better than now.

And another way to avoid lag is Understand that an amateur game can't handle the whole world, so Close the account number avalaible.
How much account numbers? Math can answer to this easily, and each upgrade of the server make grow the account numbers avalaible.

You don't like this idea?

Then i can suggest to someone to gift to Loftar a new server to combine with his server. Or to pay them monthly an account on an official server. Or everything you want if you have money, i'm not against this.

But my hands don't have money, and my head have ideas to remove the lag. Hardly this ideas are so evil, because i've simply told what an Amateur game, often, do. I've played several amateur games, and they protect the server, defende himself from the lag, and, occasionally, remove unused accounts to have the right idea of How much player play, so they can decide how much accounts allower.

Any good idea or action to improve the server, is welcome. Mine too. Yours too.
Just, please, approve the idea or say what you think can't work, but think about it before click "send".

I can say with certainty that deleting unused accounts will not solve the lag issues.

If they're unused, they're not eating up any bandwidth, and I'm sure individual character files are so small as to be entirely negligible.

Tabulating active accounts can be done by monitoring daily usage. There's no need to prune the actual accounts.

[Sarvoth]

Just say no to google translator.

I just had to be resuscitated. Passed out from laughter, thank you for that.
