278....

[Ultyma]

The magic number.

Our server hit 278 clients in ONE AREA.

This is quite an accomplishment, considering the Live used clustered servers couldn't handle 100 people in a small area.

We did it with ONE SINGLE MACHINE.

And did I mention there was almost NO LAG AT ALL.

Oru and TheAnswer = the pwnleetsauce.


Thanks to everyone who came on to test. We will continue doing tests so hang around in #test or here to get info on when the server will be up.





EDIT:

Just because I've had a few requests, the server stats are as follows.

CORE 2 DUO 6300
2GB DDR2 RAM
400GB SATA Drive.
100MBIT Connection.

[Hellaz]

Yeah, restored all hope back in the EMU for A LOT of people that lost it over time.

[RegularJohn]

Words cant describe how awesome this is, oh wait yes they can; You guys are the pwnsauce!

[Xander]

Sadly, i had to leave shortly after the test began. But i watched parts of the videos that were made.. looks promising.

[capt_haddock]

excellent results lads...well done and can't wait to play this little puppy again

[voltrox]

Great job! I can't wait for the next test :cool:

I'd love to know some details on the server that was used, such as hardware specs and internet bandwidth.

[greenghost]

Hurray for a successful test!
Damn work, I missed it, perhaps I'll get to join in the next one.

Keep up the Awesome work devs!

[Freemind]

I was very impressed with the dev's work. There are some connectivity issues to work on but once you are in, almost no lag. When everyone was in the MO at th very end spamming I experienced negligible server lag. It was amazing. Connectivity issues aside, much better than SOE's servers. I now have every faith that this team will restore SWG to its former glory and I can't wait to see what is next.

[Xiox]

That's good and all but the testing could've been organized alot cleaner than you were going by. Next time you go doing a stress test like that again try allowing 50 people in, then hold off, and let 100 people, then 150 people etc. so that your login server is not being hammered the entire time of the testing. So that it's not crashing over and over. GJ tho.

[Agi'nor]

This is impressive stuff keep it coming

[nostyleguy]

Awsome work as always gentlemen.

[fatalpie]

awsome, i too would like to know the server stats. but great work :D donation on its way!

Can we get serverspecc and internet up/down info maybe?

Great Work Dev team!!!

The test was the most fun thing ive did in months!!

Next test lets try reach 500+ people on the server and proove a point to SOE :)

And maybe kill Smed a cupple of times in the process :P ?

[Shadow10k]

Congrats guys. That is an accomplishment, lucky we have such amazing devs eh :P unlike the CRAP BUNCH WE USED TO HAVE FROM SOE!!! RAAAWR!!! :)

It could have held that many, but there just weren't enough people around. Some gave up in the beginning when everyone was trying to get in (which it kicked you back to character screen). There are still plenty that haven't set up swgemu yet and probably some who just couldn't get it working. 500 is reasonable and would be a huge landmark.

There wont be a final version....but there will be a playable pre-CU version going live soon I hope! Hope you dont get the ban stick my friend :(

Amazing how a few hours of logging in/out and 5 or so combat commands can feel better than a year of NGE. Been so long since I've used /unarmedhit3 in real combat. Keep up the great work. /kowtow.

When will SWGEmu be done?

I write this knowing no one will read the previous topic so here it is. NO ONE KNOWS. All i can say to you is don't expect to even have all content added till around spring of 2007. Just wait. It will be doen eventually. A wise man once said "hunger is the best spice", however the man then died after getting molested by wild boars."

[Ozas Darkdust]

Great job! Although I'm confused about something...-

Since you guys had less lag on one machine than SOE did on their clustered servers, what does that mean? That since not much was in the server (I assume things like many npc's, working terminals, etc. weren't in) there was less lag? Or possibly SOE used clustered servers from early 2000 and the machine used was relatively new? =) I'm not much for computer knowledge, my apologies.

I think SOE runs up to 3 servers on one machine. In reality, a SOE machine has 3x the strain an EMU machine would have.

[gimpster1227]

Woot! gratz to the devs for a successful test! Playing precu again is amazing!

[Paul Atreides]

You would think with the new dual core processors ,that the servers would have less lag and more stability(which was true i didnt lag at all but i dced like 30 times, almost as bad). lol. Dual core ftw woot

[apowerr]

I was lucky enough to get in.. It was awesome! I had disconnect errors but lag was minimal :)

[Rubin]

Yea and almost no other object. Sorry to bust on this a bit but no npcs no ticket driods, and stuff dont you think that you are compairing apples to oranges. I say wait untill you get those objects loaded then say 278 in one area with no lag.

[VadersApp]

Congratualtions for you successfull stress test! But keep in mind that a lot of processing intensive things aren´t implemented in the current version of the emu. A whole galaxy with hundreds of players toggling scripts and database queries... I think its not fair to compare a fully operational system like the seo real servers with the emu in its current state, although its great to see pre-cu coming alive!

[FinalSeven]

That was an uber test last night. The combat plays almost perfect and we had so many players! It was pretty stable at times too. I even had time to talk to someone and help him with his macros while everyone else was fighting, moving, and chatting! Great job devs! This is amazing! :D

[idiotboy]

Question.. what are the stats on the machine you were running on? And what kind of internet connection did you have?

[Bloodfin182]

I couldnt make it for the test last night, but it sounds like it turned out more amazing then planned. Great job guys

It was fun, there were some connectivity issues but once we got going I was impressed. We can beat 300, and I look forward to more content.

I dug this out of zipped screenshots, when we tried to crash the server it reminded me of a protest in theed a long time ago about their announcement to delay the CU and push out JTL.

[Valis]

Great job! Although I'm confused about something...-

It also means that progess is made over the years, and servers become faster and can handle a lot more, not just at a lower cost, but also more effectively.

I think it's quite possible to make a clustered server setup and run this Emu with whatever functions that are implemented, with the hardware we currently use, or any that is developed in the very near future. Besides the large number of players that is online, there are also random or static spawns of mobs / npcs, as well as player houses, and the vast quantity of personal harvesters. ;)

Now that one brings back memories. Except it wasn't the combat UPGRADE we were referring to. It was a revamp they had sold us on for eight months previous. This action also led to the first exodus of SWG. Though it was small and unoticed.

If you think about it they were probably working on the NGE as far back as pub 6.

Anyways enough reminicising. GJ on the recient stress test.

That screen makes where that guy is shouting that he wants more alternatives than just composite armor makes me think that they should just have taken out the need for armor, by simply making skills better or reducing the impact of dam / or mitigation, so you could wear anything. Now some people would still wear armor for the style, I guess. Like mando, RIS, padded, etc. Despite the ruin for AS, this would have brought the opportunity to people to wear whatever they liked, and such. Since it is an MMO, that would have been a welcomed solution for most players, I reckon. There would be an initial test of balance between the skills / reduced dam / resistance that you had, but as composite were pretty much always around 80-90% I don't see how that would have been very difficult.

[Gogulus]

Amazing! But the thing was, when i ran around looking at a huge number of people fighting and spectating it could suddenly just stop all movements, and it happened every time after have been on the server like 1 min or 2, All people just stopped talking and moving like i had been dc so that was the only sad thing. Was so amazing to see all people^^

it was pretty much the closer you were to the outpost the more you got dc'ed because of all the loaders. When told to go tell the people at MO to move away, Oru even said "I can't go near there or i get dc'ed."

I'd wager a guess that this is definitely one thing they wanted included in the test - hundreds hammering the server at once to see how well it held up.

The real life conditions won't be too organized, so why would they try to keep things orderly in a stress test of all things?

err.. your network CAPABILITY has nothing to do with how your internet is functioning at the moment. Everyone that uses broadband has 10/100/1000mbit wired ethernet or 54mbit wireless. Besides, no broadband internet uses all of your network speed, only a tiny fraction of it (normally 3mbit download, 1mbit upload). Full network speed is usually only implemented when transferring in-house data from one pc to another via hub or switch or router (or even peer-to-peer).

your INTERNET may be having problems beyond yours and your computer's control (ie: internet provider might be doing an upgrade on their server or someone killed the hamster that powers your provider's servers, or even the weather has a say on how well your internet runs).

The guy who replied to you is absolutely correct. It was your internet connect in or out of your house because you alone disconnected and/or lagged while noone else has (once everyone got through the login hammering problems).

If I may be so bold.... what was the specs on your server.
The test sounded most impressive, to my sorrow I was in a situation where I didnt have a computer that I could use that time. The one computer made it sound even more impressive (what would make it even more would be to hear it was run on a 5 year old computer).

Awesome work!
I didn't get to connect to the server due to real life events but from what i've seen it's even more stable than SOE's servers, graphical and connection wise, the emu is turning out VERY NICE.

It was sweet while I was on, but it did have major disconnect problems. Yes I know this is only the first of many tests. Just wanted to say something about it. I believe someone posted about being bisconnected like 30 or so time trying to log in. Myself was about half that, but still alot.

No lag though once I got in. Ping was about 105 and FPS was about 20+. But I wasn't able to stay on for more then 10 min max.
