Reign Of Blood News BlogFor all major news announcements for the online vampire game, Reign Of Blood.Server update & couple other small thingsPosted on 18-Nov-2010Good evening vampires of the Dead City, Server Just a quick update on the server. I was informed recently that there is a delay unfortunately, I don't know the reason, but as a "gesture of goodwill" they have doubled the RAM in the server for FREE. I paid for 32GB and they're giving us 64GB. I'm happy waiting another week or so and getting that free upgrade. The delivery date is set to 24th November. Give it another few days after that for transporting it to the data center, getting it ready for installation etc. So hopefully we'll be up and running at the start of December. Believe me, I want this baby installed as fast as you guys do. Some of you have been asking about specs, I am more than happy to tell you the basic specs as its you fine people that help pay to be able to have these upgrades! This spec is the for the SQL server (which is being replaced), this does not include the 3 Apache servers which are running fine. Current SQL server spec: 2x4x2.13GHz processors (8 cores total ~ 12GHz total power) 24GB DDR3 RAM 4x73GB 10,000RPM SAS disks New SQL server spec:4x 12-core 2.2GHz processors (48 cores total ~ 105GHz total power) 4x73GB 6Gbps 15,000RPM SAS disks Pretty beefy huh? If the write speeds that become a problem in the future (even though they're pricey at the moment) I do have the option trade in the SAS discs and get some SSDs. Screws Somebody has finally found all 30 screws! Still a long way off? Don't punish yourself, some people are more lucky than others. Look out for next weeks Bloody Herald to get this guys thoughts. Herald The 5th Bloody Herald edition will be posted in the morning (I have it all ready now). You've been spoiled having 2 a week, it won't be like that every week. Another big thanks to the writer, you're doing an awesome job! Novemeber CompetitionNot had many entries yet to the November competition, for 100 plasma, it's surely worth a shot!
