The simple fact that server is updated WEEKLY is beyond amazing. The work the SWGEMU team does is on par with large companies. The involvement in the community is far more respectable to any MMO. Everything about this project is just bad-@ss. Thank you for the updates!

It's not being updated weekly? I can't remember the last time a change, fix or addition was implemented on live unless it was a minor behind the scenes one?? Not taking away from your praise for the EMU team. They are doing a great job.

I believe the last couple of downtimes including this one is down to maintenance / streamlining / saving space / saving money.

Thanks for the Answer to my question. I guess I an agree to a point. Mostly ebcause you RENT the servers and have little to no access to configure it. I would prefer the RAM to handle Random Access personally. A Rented server makes the difficult, didn't think about that

P.S. I wish the company would be willing to accept an SSD from us. I am sure we could fund one and they could put it in the machine and not charge us more per month!

Sure, ram is always better for performance, but SSDs are certainly an attractive option once you get to a certain size, and I think we're past that point here.

Just a rough estimate, but adding another 64G of ram to a server would probably add around $1k/month to the cost, maybe more. (I'm not sure the exact deal that swgemu got; thats just a ballpark figure).

256G of ram would probably be closer to $3k/month extra, not really practical, and it still wouldn't hold the database entirely.

Adding another 400G ssd would probably be around $300/month.


My estimates may be a little out of date, I haven't priced anything yet this year, but it should be around there.
