Anyway last night was the worst I've ever seen it.  Previously it was only slow NPC and zoning in nexus but last night it was bad lag in every zone.  There was about 490 on when I logged in and I heard it hit well over 500.

Something needs to be done.  I don't know how much bandwidth AFK people take up but if it's possible I'd say the server should boot anyone who's AFK in nexus or sfg for more than 15 mins or so.

I think this is a good idea. Something like an hour would be a better time though.

I know there have been times when I have played for a while and left some toons in the nexus after finishing a session only to return to my pc hours later having forgotten they were still logged in.

Our server hardware is as good as it can get, probably better than any other server out there. Our limit as we all know is bandwidth, and we're currently looking at solutions to increase our 5 mbits/sec upload bandwidth. We have a possible options with our current ISP that might offer an unadvertised deal for us for a price. No promises yet, but we're aware of the problem with bandwidth and working on it.

Thanks,

Hunter

For someone that offers this service for free, you certainly are attentive and it's appreciated! I think I'm going to stay a while.

Booting AFK players after an hour might help alot.
Yes its not a solution for more bandwidth that is needed, but, it is at least a solution that would yield better resources of our bandwidth moving forward.

Thanks for the response Hunter.

The lag has been bad, I agree, booting would be a nuisance for players but perhaps to encourage players to log off when AFK.
What's the main cause of peope going AFK anyway for you lot?
I've started logging off when I'm done with someone, and I don't bother with the practice dummy now.
Anyway
Good luck Hunter and thanks!

$149/mo unlimted bandwidth, 100mbits
http://www.gameservers.com/dedicated/

I don't know if they allow you to just run anything you want on there (ie they may have a problem with emu) and it's probably a moot point anyway if Hunter/etc want direct physical control over the server (it doubles as a space heater ami rite???)

Review of gameservers.com: "I did had a server and had big lags never get help of them after 2 months i stopped paying the server!

Players on the server had pings of 300 or more!"

This provider is more for FPS type games. I can offer 100mbit internal and unlimited bandwidth usage on my home network for $10/month. Means nothing. I still only have 10mbit upload to the open internet. Sounds like they have completely oversold themselves from a bandwidth perspective.

SoftLayer is probably the best example of what dedicated hosting with a solid provider costs. 100mbit port (internal) from them runs $100/month and 6TB/month is something like an additional $800/month.

Pretty much every option available has been discussed. Dedicated/Colo is out of Hunter's comfort zone price wise.

As far as colo is concerned these were the best prices that I was able to find.

$5/mbit -- 100% Cogent bandwidth. No SLA. Minimum 100mbit order. ($500/month)
$25-45++/mbit -- Blended BGP bandwidth from multiple tier1 providers. Minimum usually 10mbit, but that also put the cost nearer the upper end per mbit. SLA was generally fives 9s.  We would need about 20-25mbit of aggregate bandwidth to handle our current player base plus have some head room for growth.

None of the above options include the charge for rackspace or power. Rackspace is a tricky issue because the case is a mid/full tower configuration. I think I've been told that the server can fit in a 4u chassis. So that would require buying a new case AND being charged around $25-50 per U of space per month.

Sure you can find "deals" by googling "cheep dedicated server/colocation", but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

I'm not yellow, but they have a 10gb connection meaning someone there works in a datacenter, or they are paying a grip for that.
