Yep this is the part that as a fellow programmer i have to say ... tsk tsk on the devs using Windows with Python as a short cut mainly due to the huge advantage on Windows: thanks to COM (and win32all &c) rather than Linux which would require some custom c'ing. oh well im sure they will work it out over time.

Well they would have to rewrite the entire server application,figure out a way of doing clustering etc.. because windows provides all those kinds of things.

no its not perfect no system is but when you do tuesday patches on windows servers and they **** on you you can't really do much when it happens.

Huh?
Linux doesn't cluster?
Linux was clustering before Windows, and does so better than Windows.
I *get* it. Everyone's an expert. Be different. Shutup.

I'm always afraid to comment honestly on these kinds of posts because it feels uncomfortable making negative comments about devs I do happen to respect, and a game I love.
But you are right. In a very absolute sense.

As a long time Linux admin (circa 1995 with yggdrasil) I'd like to agree with you, but I don't believe that's the case. WolfPack for Windows was released when Linux was still in its commercial infancy.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe that's accurate.
But I digress.

Edited by: Elb Sov on 12/09/2007 02:50:59 Yes windows was clustering way before linux.
In my opinion linux shouldn't be used for commercial enterprises anyway, but I'm biased because I watched Tru64 die (yes I used to work on Tru64, HPUX and VMS clusters). At least the mach kernal lives on in OS X.

Ah you got me... *maybe*. It depends on what you consider a supported clustering and unsupported.
Parallel Virtual Machine was portable to Linux in 1995. Also Beowulf could be used. These were not supported by a company at the time.

Edited by: Sharupak on 12/09/2007 03:05:41 Oh god, not the dead horse windows unix
Linux has its advantages, but it also has some glaring disadvantages just like windblows. To bad you cant run videogames on open VMS which was clustering before linux or unixs were even thought of.

They're using Stackless Python. Python doesn't have any huge advantage on Windows. Reimplementing Stackless Python with custom c'ing would be ******** and would mean Eve's release would have been delayed or shipped with less features/more bugs. Most modern games use some sort of "short cut". Unfortunately, Lua seems to have become the popular choice.
Choosing Microsoft products is a less defensible position...
