Well once you suck nearly all the money you can out of a game you are not going to keep updating it when you can make more money by making other games , rinse and repeat.....yes we are all suckers ...free to play are all just a money grab..wake up all you sheeple...
The point of beta to begin with was a trial run for the rest of the servers. When they merged what beta was doing with what beta had been doing it took alot of doing and there are still some bugs that need to be fixed. I assume they are more worried right now on fixing the bugs and cheats that are still being used before updating beta with new things. To monitor and run this amount of servers while constantly adding new ones takes alot of work. As far as packages go i'm just glad they have them, and they always doing something for the holidays even small ones..so be patient
Side note. Tynon only uses 1 yes ONE Server. 17.tynon through 129.tynon are called vhosts like newpatch.tynon.com or ceo.google.com <--vhosts, sits on the same server just has a diff folder. With that said I am not bashing you btw. Tynon is running ONE Server with 129 http processes. Most unix boxes can handle around 500+ background process. If you log on to 88.tynon or 2.tynon hover the mouse over your name. There all 216.66.6.23 a subnet from HE.net. EOF>> Geek Talk over.
Yep, very true.
Probably running RedHat if they are smart.
To consolidate all of the dead servers to a few, it would take some manual work for them to consolidate the DB's. I would say server 1 - 10 are probably slightly bit bigger vhosts with more memory and cores added to it vs. the rest of the servers.
