Wow... who would have thought this thread would last this long...
I started this months ago...
Anywho... I am still interested in running this, and many people have proposed interest in running servers...
The database replication needed is possible... And as long as the machines are on good stable connections with low pings it should work...
With the amount of support I have seen, we should be able to easily support 15-20 zones simultaneously...
One thing I think we would need to do is weighting... that would need to be done at the code level... Somewhere in the communication between world and zone server, the zone servers should be weighted to allow for proper load balancing between them... that way the machines with lower pings and more resources free can grab up busy zones, leaving the smaller less popular ones for slower servers...
With that all in place this could easily work...
So Lets Rally Support People!!! All those interested please email me at
glasswalker@cogeco.ca and I will take a tally of actually interested people, I will work on either gaining developer support for our venture, or doing it myself...
The database is relatively mature, and should work allright...
And we are capable of many features to make it fully playable...
Lets make this happen!!!
