Server down time?

[Nadrick]

Lol, im guessing you got your hands tied soul, why is this happening more than usual? i remember the old days in fl where the server crashed roughly once a day and lasting about 30 seconds,

I am not sure about this
and i dont approve it at all

But i heard that 2 FL servers (v2d and v33x) are being hosted on ONE computer which makes it increfibly unstable

P.S. dont blame or anything i just heard it

they are but the machine is more then strong enough to handle them, heres what would happen if they had separate machines:

first the main reason they share one is for easy access and management, another good reason is for the DB to stay in sync with each other.

the servers both use the same DB to pull your character info so that if you go from v33 to v2d you still have your inventory. if they were hosted separately the db would need to be remote connected to by one of the servers if they wanted it to stay in sync and this could cause untold amounts of problems if the DB does not respond in time.

if they separated the DB's people would not be able to take stuff that they got on v33 over to v2d and vice versa and this would cause some problems for people who travel between both.

and finally its to help keep the ban system working right, if someone is banned by an admin on v2d, if will throw them off v33 because the database will flag them as banned , thus making the ban system easy to use and extremely versatile.

also saying running saying running 2 servers 1 machine is bad. then you might wanna go look at what these GSP's are doing


edit: Ur disregard this, i have made the wrong assumption here but at the same time this is still partially true
