Latest server lag problems - maintenance, maybe downtime
Posted: Nov 15th, '10, 00:35
Hello people,
I've been looking into the depths of our server's logs, and I have noticed that our lags are accompanied by a sudden increase of connections to the server; I suspect this might be caused by some botter who does approx. 50 page calls at once (meaning, within a few hundred milliseconds).
I will have to rebuild some components of the server in order to make it cope with this kind of load peaks, and I'm planning to have a long server-work session this Wednesday, November 17th. During some phases of this maintenance work I will have to stop the server. Though I will try to keep the downtimes minimal, please expect them that day.
I apologize for the inconvenience this caused, we're working on it.
Have fun!
