Seems like there has been varying amounts of TiDi in Amarr recently, with populations near 1000. Is something going on that I missed or is it just becoming Jita 2 and will need its own node? |

I am currently in Amarr. Population 862, TiDi = 82%.
Pathetic.
Ooops, just dropped to zero. Looks like CCP has started re-inforcing other nodes besides Jita and their precious null sec friends. |

cant reinforce nodes without bringing the nodes down.
most likely it was disco gank, or freighter gank. the amount of concord that spawns is insane. |

CCP said after the battle of Asakai that they can. They just take the other systems on the node off it, reinforcing the node.
Those other systems get rebooted, but that's ok. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

ergo, they cant reinforce nodes without bringing them down.
also, tidi at 82% means the game was 18% slower. just pointing that out, some people read tidi the other way around and get outraged. |

Why do you highseccers gotta complain about time dilation at 82%? It is not uncommon that we nullseccers experience it at 30% or lower. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser.

I actually like TiDi in the trade hubs. They feel more busy and crowded that way. And it encourages people to trade outside of those places. It will be interesting to see if new hubs develop because of this, perhaps markets that are specific to certain players, like minerals or ship fitting.
If CCP is thinking about changing the geography of security it might be good to get that in place during this trade hub overload. What is gaming when compared to rl? -á http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=V7-1ndsiVNA&feature=endscreen |

Grown A LOT over the last two years. Used to be 80-100 max but has grown over time. If I'm going to spend over 100m I'll still do it at Jita because the market droids keep the buy/sell prices there relatively optimised. But otherwise I'll buy/sell at Amarr because travelling all the way to Jita is a bore.

The fact that you guys don't already have the other trade hubs on dedicated hardware is laughable. Dodixie and Amarr especially so.
But, :CCP: so not really that surprised.

But, :CCP: so not really that surprised. the node the system is in not only handles ships in space, im guessing it also takes care of market transactions, if only to relay them to the server that manages the regional transactions. a system like jita must has thousands of transactions every second. if you check market aggregators you'll see that even when amarr is huge, it still doesn't come close jita in volume. so give CCP a break.
Since you are guessing, please get back to me when you are 100% certain and thus capable to comment.
It's not rocket surgery to reinforce known areas of load with dedicated hardware when your software is not multi-cpu or multi-thread capable.
No breaks given since CCP is able to fund giant fish tanks and the shuttling of neckbeards to Iceland under the guise of player representation.

I just found the pair of replies rather delicious, since you were guessing at the status of Dodixie on the cluster as a foundation of your earlier argument.
In any case, Amarr likely should be on its own node, but the loadbalancer isn't doing that right now. We'll likely need to correct that. CCP Veritas - Senior Programmer - EVE Software |

Jita at least occasionnally overflows and some of the scammers get sent to neighbouring systems. And then some have started to migrate and come spam nearby systems with a high amount of players in them. |

Does this mean we will soon see a "Burn Amarr" ?
As I see it in terms of business and commerce, Jita = New York, Dodixie = Hong Kong, Amarr = London.
Which means that in New York we have TiDi, in Dodixie we have TaDa, in London we have ToDo.
Look, it's being a long day, I'm still at the office and my brain is fried.

...yes, yes it is. Blob fights like that don't occur daily, and then nullseccers live in systems that barely hit more than 10 people at a time. Save the Domi model! Spacewhales should be preserved. |

I fully agree with Doc here. As a paying customer, I think I have the right to ask some questions when there's the possibility of there being a problem that may probably be allegedly concerning stuff. However, in my case, I would like to know if you use coloured wires on your servers. If that's the case, I would like you to report on what proportion of cabling is colour coded. While you may think this unreasonable, I suspect that any potential time dilation problems are correlated to the ratio of coloured to non-coloured cabling and I would like to be reassured that CCP is going to commit to replacing all standard white or grey cabling in the future in order to sort out the issues.

At which point will techniques similar to 'hourglassing' no longer be used to mask infrastructure performance issues, and the need for a dynamic resource allocating architecture be pursued within CCP?
You can do lipstick-on-a-pig UI stuff like TiDi to hide server performance issues, 24-hour notice to have a re-enforce node set up, or gate-jump animations (which are oh so sexy) to hide the slowness in jumping from system to system as subs increase...but at which point is CCP going to bite the bullet and and fix the core issue of an archicture that isn't truly dynamic resource allocating?
So far I am seeing just UI gimmicks (like the Windows hourglass and Mac spinning rainbow wheel to keep the user entertained visually) rather than fixing root infra scaling issues?

I'm pretty sure they got a team dedicated to working on it, the fact you're not seeing immediate results doesn't mean they are just sitting in the park enjoying the weather while drinking some beer doing nothing.
And TiDi is not lipstick-on-a-pig, it masivly decreases the ammount of crashes, black screens and disconnects casued by sudden server load. Sure it's a bit of drying the floor with the plumbing still broken but it decreases the many issues people had untill they can properly fix and improve the servers and their code.
the 24 notice is because they can only reinforce the nodes by off lining the system, transferring it to the better server and then onlining it again. Which can only be done during downtime. Occasionally you see them off lining the surrounding systems and throwing those on separate hardware quickly so the busy system gets the entire server for itself.
And the Gate animations are done by a diffrent team, tough they decrease loading times as a side effect.
They are fixing the code and improving their servers, just because you don't see results now doesn't mean they aren't doing anything at all. |
