501warhead 1796 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Hello friends and non-friends! Today we ended up having a bit of an issue as some might have noticed with a sudden influx of lag! As we aim to reduce it if at all possible we began investigating the source of said lag, to see if it was possible to do something about. So, today the APB goes out for horse farms. We will be purging horse farms significantly within the coming week. Any farm with over 6-8 horses will be gutted down to 4-6 horses if you do not handle this yourself. The deadline before we will begin in full will be four days, starting the 28th of October. For those of you who might not quite either believe this is an issue or are curious as to why this decision is being made, here's a readout of a snapshot of LotC during the heavy traffic. https://i.gyazo.com/02ca48e33fcf5b9dec3e8b87629d2287.pngThank you for reading,- 501warhead, Lead Developer EDIT: Updated with a little better explained image.

501warhead 1796 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Can I modreq my horses to be killed? I literally will have dozens burning in lava for days due to their high health/resistance kek Yes. explain picture It's a snapshot from https://visualvm.java.net/ which breaks down server loads into a readable format. The breakdown I am displaying here is the load having a significant amount of horses loaded on the server at once, showing how much of the main server thread it's taking up. In the end, it's not crashing the server but it is causing significant issues at peak times to have so many horses alive. Edited October 24, 2015 by Why.

monkeypoacher 8055 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Should give people horse eggs as a method of storage instead of just killing them all with no reimbursement. Edited October 24, 2015 by charoodler 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

501warhead 1796 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Atleast give breeders more allowed horses. Cause you are completely ******* us over. The issue isn't personal horses. We won't be killing someone's pet (unless the entire farm is tamed horses), we're cracking down on the excessive sized horse farms. I've seen in just 30 minutes of looking around several farms with over 30 horses in each. This is excessive, to say the least, and sad that it's considered the norm. Choose which ones you want to keep and get rid of the rest. Should give people horse eggs as a method of storage instead of just killing them all with no reimbursement. We can consider a form of reimbursement, yes. At the moment the goal however is to reduce horse population count, not to increase it. We can't sustain current amounts and the route we're going right now will end up causing significant issues if not addressed. Edited October 24, 2015 by Why.
