Just join servers with less players then?

See, nothing to worry about.

As you already know, RenX is a team of volunteer individuals who have other jobs/careers. My career is in the I.T. field where we have cabinets, servers, and networks all over the world. With access to so much bandwidth and hardware, wouldn't be hard to supply the demand for this game. One of our plans is to create a game server in a cloud infrastructure environment, then create a snapshot/template of that cloud server. If game server 1 fills up, we can use the template and spin up additional gameservers to keep up with demand. Along with that, there has been a lot of community involvement where they would like to provide game servers as well. I bet if there is sufficient demand, there will be individuals (not us) creating more game servers. It's just like any other game, people will fill the need of game servers if there are gamers who want to play on it.

Don't worry about lack of game servers. We can throw up 100 game servers if there was actual demand for it. We can give clan leaders their own game servers to manage if there isn't enough game servers around. We have the servers, the bandwidth, the facilities, and much more to ensure everyone gets to play!

There isn't really a formal SDLC for RenX, so it really isn't possible to give any dates when things are released.

With all the mirrors, couldn't find a fast one?

Nice! Do you think in year 30 we can use UT8 engine instead of the current UT3?

Don't, seems like it's fine in English since 100,000 people downloaded it. lol

The number doesn't seem to be that far fetch considering China's massive gaming communities. Especially when one of them supports the mod, it can be big over night. Lots of Chinese are addicted to internet gaming. 100,000 downloads out of 1.3 billion is only .00007% of total population. I bet some of those downloads were multiple attempts as well. China is a great place to get a game noticed....that's for sure.

If you need mirrors for everyone, renxgame.com is a good place to grab a bunch of mirrors for all the downloads.

Just finished migrating the site to a different server just to help. I think some poorly written scripts on this site is causing some issues. I only notice the problem when there are ~300 tasks going on. Server bandwidth throughput doesn't seem to make much of a difference as long as it doesn't go over 1Gbps. Either way, should be doing a little better now until the hype calms down for the game and the website.

The slow download speeds wont be an issue in the future. We can setup a lot more mirrors for an initial release as needed. Silly to keep discussing it, as there was only issues with not enough mirrors for a couple of hours then they sprung up fast.

You will only get slow download speeds for 1-4 hours until 100 mirrors pop up. Renegade-x.com website is on a 1Gbps port, and the amount of downloads was saturating that 1Gbps port for a few hours.

All of those games on 1 server? I think you may be having HD i/o lag and not so much bandwidth lag.

No matter how dumb, stupid, loser'ish, pathetic, low-life, etc someone was a couple years ago, if they change then all is forgiven! ACK has got some talent and has his head on straight, would be a pretty big asset to RenX.
