Amazing fight for Southern Great Plain
•
by Plato
One of the most expected event in February was the fight for the Southern Great Plain between Hungary and Romania.
The battle lasted for 16 minutes where citizens from different countries brought their high quality weapons and strengths in order to make a stand. More than 3500 fights had taken place during this battle. An average of 220 fights per minute shows clearly that this was one of the bloodiest conflict that took place in the New World. Other stats show that citizens who fought in this battle managed to reach an average damage of 77.6.
A new record was reached when more than 1100 citizens were online during this event. The servers were over loaded, but even though there were some issues on the way the battle could be finished without major break downs.
All important statistics gathered during this battle will help us a lot in our future analysis regarding why the loading time was higher than normal. Our main challenge is to improve the servers scalability and to continue optimizing the code. The goal of these improvements is to make sure that events like this will run smoothly in the future.
Thank you all for your support and congratulations to all soldiers that fought in this battle. They will surely have an interesting story to tell to the next generations of citizens in the New World.

Pertamax ? 😃
Damn it, if ofc lagged on my org when I tried to pertamax this...
Analysis ? What for ?
Get a better server, and get a better developping team, because yours actually suxxe a lot, sir.
Voted!
Go Atlantis, go Croatia, go my Romanian friends 🙂
4th
Add more MySQL servers!
AMAZING IS how you do improvements in the war module!!!!!!! they just won due to lag!
You should have expected this affluence of users. But well, now you have what to analyze. In a totally unrelated matter, I can only imagine what bloodrage would have been if trivia was still on...
Heap of bugs! Shame on you!
This was that you worked for three weeks?
Si, si, lo que tu digas, chato, pero

He is not guilty, he is the VICTIM¡¡¡
it was a great fight unfortunately many soldiers coulnd't fight because the server was down. most of the soldiers who could get to the battlefield and fight were easily annoyed by the bloody high time of refresh. I have ( with great difficulties ) done 6 battles in 15 minutes. That's outrageous !
I cant fight on SpaiN!!!! I can go through the whole page but when want to fight jsut stuck loading, I can even see the battle history with people fighting all the time, how come i cant?
@Kirill: Better servers were installed but eRepublik is a huge project that needs a lot of optimization in order to make everything work properly. We are making progress even though these are only baby steps, but time will prove that we can make this happen. And with your full support the New World will be a better place.
The server overloaded and is still not working well. You are useless...
Pertamax!
Hah yeh, 3 minutes of non-stop loading to send a message.
Great.
Oh, cool, it bugged so I can tell you I had a symfony exception posting this. I usually like music, but I'm starting to get tired of all those symfonies.
Oh, nice, again this bug. So cool. Have you ever actually tried to make a bug-free game ? Seems not. You should hire people from Microsoft.
Limitaţi numărul de luptători la cei care locuiesc în regiunea atacată sau în regiunile de graniţă cu regiunea atacată aparţinând statului atacator. Pentru lupte de eliberare, limitaţi doar la locuitorii regiunii unde e rebeliunea.
I tried to view the fights and couldn't. I just wonder if there is a possibility that it was easier for Romanian users to access in a time of high traffic on accoutn of thier physical proximity to teh servers IRL??
i fought too, i now i don't have money to return to Croatia... will be looking fo a job here in Romania... aloha

We demand payment! Free stress-test for your server, each time a battle between Romania and Hungary is opened, ever since beta!!! You should pay for this, no more freebies!
"The servers were over loaded, but even though there were some issues on the way the battle could be finished without major break downs."
This is simply not true!! I tried more than 10 times to fight and lost more than 10 gold and many weapons for nothing..
Shame on you admins!!
@Cristi Badea go ask some professional help. As I said in another topic that YOU just deleted because u didnt liked it... go to http://www.maguay.ro and ask for real professional help from the best in Romania. I suppose the best should be enough for your servers to work flawless.
P.S. you should give the citizesns the liberty to say what and how they feel about your failure. Not just delete the articles that you dont like..because they are telling the truth.
@Titu: We had expected this and all I can say is that we have passed the test. By far not with 'magna cum laude' but we passed it.
@diu1so: Test servers are already implemented in our workflow. It's a smart suggestions but this is not the major solutions to what we are facing for the moment.
@Cristi: if you (as the team) need better stats, give us free weap and unlimited wellness and decide a day were we can fight and we'll simulate an epic battle.
Avoid to do that on a real battle, people get disgruntled by 503/blank pages/varnish cache errors, especially if they lose gold and weapons without recoviring wellness or delaling damage.

the servers FAILED!! YES FAILED!! when i tried to fight i was taken to the login screen, when i tried to heal i was given some error, 404 i think it was. i barely managed 5 fights in 15 minutes.
@Franz Kafka - teh servers are not in Romania. Are in Zurich 🙂

8 weapons in 7 battles. Nice.
No major breakdowns? Did you even try to fight at least once?!

@adleras: I've seen your suggestion a while ago. We are working together with 3 other teams and believe me they are really really pros. But it's not something that will happen over night, this challenge is a constant one for any huge web projects. As for your PS, citizens can use the forum to state their opinions and articles like "You are worst fail in the world" is consider to totally irrelevant. We are receptive when it comes to critics, but let's keep a balance between respect, common sense and free speech.
"They will surely have an interesting story to tell to the next generations of citizens in the New World."
how could u say this?? ha?
are u joking ??
maybe u meant that we should tell the next generation of citizens in the New World about this unfair wars in which servers became so slow and in the middle of war u can not fight as u want and u can then u lose simply. 😁
shame on you.
plz be honest, instead of apologizing citizens for this disgusting matter, u say it was an interesting story.

Go Socialism. Down with capitalism.

@Kirill - Symfony is a good framework. But I think they shoud consider rewrite the entire application in a more stable language like Ruby and a more scalable framework like Rails.
Ah....and add more MySQL servers, god dammit! 🙂
The same happened around year before with clickclickclick.com
There was so big traffic, because thousands of hungarian and japanese players "invaded" that game and start to play, after a TV report(!), which has been shown in a main News program actually. The servers gone down then very fast. If You think about it seriously, prepare for it with proper hardware and software, not just toys, and some "bugging".

@Cristi Badea
Get a sysadmin. That's the solution.
It's not enought to have good servers if you dont know to configure them.
There's a huge community of programmers in this game.
We are not little kids that don't know anything about IT. You cannot foul us like you did..
You say about scalability since august.. That's some time.
If you, as the admin team and the managers of the game, don;t know something ask for help. It's a better way of making things going.
Too bad a lot of players couldn't fight/fight to the fullest due to the lag 🙁
I tried to lg in, but the severs dropped me out continously, this battle was completely unfair.
The best story what we can speak to others is that we were not able to win becouse of the incompetence of the admin entire admin staff.
This article is completely ironic and cynical.
You relaunched the battle for SGP 3 times. The war module what you aren't able to fix since weeks was failed again.
This game in this version is not V1, but beta or even alpha. Many of us invested a bunch of real money in this game and many of us is fed up with that we are not players but experimental rabbits in your coding attempts.
I suggest to the owner of this game to fire urgently this complety talentless coder staff. THEY ARE RUINING YOUR BUSINESS AND WASTING YOUR MONEY, WAKE UP NEO!
Shame on you. The war module is still broken. 5 Q2 weapons lost without any result - no damage, no wellness decrease.
At least you should have written an apology article not one in which you say how pretty and how good you are.

"A new record was reached when more than 1100 citizens were online during this event. The servers were over loaded"
1100 player online at the same time and the servers popping pills?
Now that's embarasing, you need urgent upgrades.
@Furio: Quality, endurance and performance testing were done, but no machine and algorithm in this world can replace the human behavior. The stats that are analyzed are gathered from taking into account a huge number of variables. The results will come (sooner the better). Also, Feherlo Alapitvany nobody from the team considers the 60000 citizens in the New World as being "guinea pigs" used only for testing. Sorry you get this impression but it is a totally false perception.

LIE!
Cristi, i think your problem is with the cache control configuration.
