Server to busy......again

[asgeirpe]

I'm really like this forum and I really like paradox games, (that's not why I moved to sweden though) but can't paradox enhance/upgrade their server. They have launched some sucessful games lately and a lot more people are on their server, it surly feels like it, because I've never run into so many " server to busy" like nowadays. And I think this has to be fixed, preferrably in a patch


No seriously, not gaining acces to the server is annoying, please fix paradox.




And when I was pressing "submit new thread" I got the message again, but I've luckily copied all of the text with ctrl A ---> ctrl C, shouldn't have to be necessery.

You know why the server is too busy?

Because of too large forum activity, i.e. threads like this.

More threads -> sever gets too busy.

You should have asked this from a mod with PM or something.. These threads don't make the situation any better.

Yes I'm completly aware of this, and what I'm saying is that the activity on the forum has rissen tremendous but it seems the capacity of the server hasn't. And that's sad, because as I said I really like this forum.

My thought was that if paradox are made aware of this they would do something. But next time I will PM a demi moderator, or just simply pay Paradox a vist at their HQ as I'm going dwontown now.....

I agree the server is to busy message is appearing way to much these days. Please upgrade servers.

The problem is that it happens when your about to post a big/important post But tbh i don't find it hindering me too much.

 

[Lord Finnish]

It is good to live in Eastern Europe because there are less people awake when you are -> less forum activity -> less server busyness.
I usually face the messages after 8PM.. Not by daytime.

Paradox does, indeed, need new servers.

 

[Von Uber]

Well it is preventing me from updating my AAR, as when i try i seem to lose it all. Oh well - Paradox are a lucky victim of their own success, which is a good thing really.

 

[unmerged(56754)]

Yeah, and this doesn't help!

 

[unmerged(103753)]

it should be like this:

guests are kicked off first. then registered members, then registered members with games registered in order from least to most. this will give people an incentive to register and to buy the games.

but paradox really does need new servers. its the fucking history forums!

 

[L'Afrique]

We could use forums purge- the inactive RPG's, for example, or the thousands of werewolf games in OT...

I don't see what the poor history forums have to do with it. Also, kicking guests off first would not help business, I think.

 

[unmerged(103753)]

Then tell them to register on that screen and mention that it will kick them less.

You know one reason why there are so many threads? Because they can't see fit to provide a sensible search function like EVERY OTHER FORUM ON THE PLANET. So we get the same questions asked over and over and over again day in and day out.

And yes, I know all about the "register your game" bullshit and then the search function magically appears (or so it is claimed), but unfortunately for me, I play a mac version of Armageddon and you can't register mac games.

cheers!

Search has been completely reinstated several times in the past. The forums always promptly crash.

 

[unmerged(88345)]

Really, search should not be implemented at all, not with the forums going down as often as they do anyway.

 

[unmerged(102604)]

Which brings us back to the original point: the servers should be upgraded. We can't have a search function because it will overburden the servers. But because we don't have a search function, there are dozens upon dozens of redundant threads, which.... wait for it... overburden the servers.

I mean seriously, there is not one single forum I visit that doesn't have a search function. It's not 1997 anymore.

No surprise. The forums have been at their capacity limits for the last few years, and as long as there's only baby steps at improving performance, it will never get better.

I'm glad to see that my request for better server capacity has been backed by others. Am would like to point out to any mod out there that this is by no mean an attempt to drag the name of paradox in the mud as a bad forum provider. This forum is by far the best I've encountered thanx to the mods and the people wich frequent it.

But I think it is very important for paradox to get better servers as I know several people who started out as lurkers after buying EUII in the bargain bin and looked into the many AARs in peoples sig and discovered HOI2. After buying HOI2 they bought VIC and now, one of my friends has bought EUIII. This as he said ,bacause of the great game of cause, but also bacause of the help and information, and the great community the forum provided him with in the early days with EUII. It would be a shame if he would have been met with the "Servers to busy" sign in the beginning to many times, and also, suddenly just been kicked out of the forum because he didn't registered EUII. (Which I'm not surten you can)

So I really hope this petition reach the men or women with the power to do something about it.

agreed

I suspect the prime reason is there is no direct financial return for investing in high speed heavy traffic servers. Which, in my opinion, is a little short-sighted. The better support and players get here, the more they'll want to play the games.

It is my understanding that these threads are usually zapped by the god mods. so this thread may not take up too much more band width anyway.
