Title: Server Clusters?
Post by: CoralHibiscus on October 21, 2008, 05:26 PM
When I logged in a few minutes ago. I saw a server cluster option under the login. It said that it doesn't matter which server cluster you pick you can still see all friends and you can still visit all friends.

While I can't say for sure.. this looks to be nothing more than like on Pixie Hollow, where we choose the server we want.  But we can still chat (whisper) to any of our friends regardless of the server they are on. ;)

I'm sure PH_AntShorty can fill us in on any if there are any fees or bugs with the server clusters.

A server cluster is several separate servers that are set up to work with each other as one system.  As a cluster, the computers then increase the service that is available.   Think of it working somewhat like generators set up to back up each other.  When a computer in a cluster goes down, everything gets rerouted and the demand is distributed to a different computer in the cluster.  So if the server you are connected to has a hiccup, you get switched over to another and (hopefully) don't dc.

Personally, I would take the peanut caramel kind!

I was just wondering what happened to this?  Did they find out that their plan didn't work or it was to much work or something?  It was only there for like two days and then gone.  I thought this was suppose to help with lag, but I guess it didn't work.  I did overhear Mintie saying they were getting something in that is suppose to stop lag completely in the next few days.  Sorry, but I will believe that when I see it.  :uhuh2:

I noticed this option was gone too, when they started the Maze Event.
