Update 07/17/07

Just thought I would post an update for those who don't idle on IRC.

We are currently in the process of implementing the clustering in our core. Which means a slight rewrite of some of the major functions. That is why there haven't been many updates in the last little while. Once that is done, everything else that we've held off on pushing live , like cell movement, will be re-added.

Also I've been doing little things like Tipping, Trades, Fireworks, crafting, and other things

So stay tuned.

Good work! A stabler core means a stabler game...and more updates later

Amazing Progress!

Sorry, but what exactly is clustering in the core?

[Tomarru]

Clustering is the ability to have multiple machines for a single "server."
The game world will be essentially split so one machine runs one portion of the game and another runs another portion.
For example you could split it that a machine runs 4 worlds and another machine runs the rest. Then of course a separate login server etc.

Very complex code as you have to keep track of when people jump between machines and then any chat has to be sent between those machines etc.

Essentially it provides a scaling mechanism so the more money you throw at servers the mroe people you can support.

Keep working hard guys, you are almost there.
