Migrating to a new cluster architecture
Plato
Dear citizens,
As you've probably read in one of the previous Insiders, the technical team here at eRepublik has been working hard to keep the game up and running. In fact, we're sure you've noticed some speed improvements in the past month or so. Ever since January this year, we've been continuously trying out some new things (and learned from our mistakes) thus at this point, we would like to tie up some loose ends and move to a new clustering architecture.
In spite of our best efforts to make this transition as painless as possible for everybody, some downtime will be needed in order to complete our setup. Therefore, on Wednesday, day 687 of the New World, the game will be offline for scheduled maintenance for about 4 hours starting 02:00 eRepublik time.
During this time, our team of engineers will rush to reinstall everything from load balancers, reverse proxies, web nodes, cache and database servers to accommodate the new setup.
The finished cluster will essentially mean better performance as new features and modules are coming online and more and more people are joining the New World.
In case you wonder what the new cluster looks like, here and here are some smug shots of 384GB RAM and 120CPU Cores Nehalem Xeons all ready to tackle the game 🙂
.
Regards,
The Tech Team
Update: Starting Monday, day 685 of the New World, by eating food citizens will no longer receive 1 XP. Instead, they'll receive 2 XP by "training," hence the total amount of received XP remains the same.

nice to hear
When will we see the battle history again?
Awesome!
booo i don't like maintenance
I'd like to see a prewiew of these improvements...
Way to go 🙂
keep it up
Indeed. Hail eRepublik, Portugal & PEACE.
That is some serious piece of hardware 😃
Nice rack 😮
Only 3.2GB RAM per CPU doesnt seem optimal to me.
wow nice hardware
when we will have pvp stuff?🙁
just make backups plz,
thanks
before doing anything
w00t those are great news .. upgrades are always nice 😃
/salute
Thank you tech team 😃
As von Moltke says, "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy." The phenomenological world may be Newtonian, and hence in principle calculable, but thousands of men in desperate struggle is a messy, incalculable situation. "For want of a nail, a kingdom was lost".
Expect turbulences.
God damn it! (pardon my language sir)
I want that kinda hardware too!
V O T E D!
4 hours, wow, nice thing.
I have hope, this is not end of world. Good luck.
''by eating food citizens will no longer receive 1 XP''
Why?
what are those pictures??????
It's gotta be some big maintance. I'm looking forward to see the result.
No more feeding the invites for gold 😃
Congrats eRep team. The new equipment looks nice. I'm envious. But please do me (and the rest of the eRep players) a favor: DO NOT RUSH. Take all the time you need, because we don't want to come back to any sort of bug-fest. Take your time, make sure everything's in order, and then release it for play again.
looks like feeding inactive players will no longer be possible.
hahaha
No EP for food?
Oh no.
"looks like feeding inactive players will no longer be possible."
@Megakorporacija Indeed! Isn`t that a good news ?🙂
OH GOD how can we feed our thousand-babies now !???
Uhh, i was just about to get rich !!!
I liked getting health from food better...
Nice with some upgrades!
Leoa the big project of Turkey failed now 😃
you guys are genius! That last liner there... Haha that effectively kills feeding babies and getting Society Builders!! Way to go!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
eating will not increase experience, i can't believe
i'll shoot my self

That's some serious stuff to be installed...
I want 10% of the value to make a nice holiday again... 😃

this is stupid idea...why somebody can earn money on inactive invites, and somebody will be stopped in the middle of job... let us just more 30days...that what are you doing is unfair...
quite an impressive cluster, color me jealous 😉
no more feeding to get 5 gold 😛
damn guys and i tought comps with 6 gb ram are awesome 😮!!!
*no more feeding to get 5 gold 😛*
yeah 😃
tq
nice tnx
DON'T DO THAT! I believe I am not the only one to say that many people you invite leave the game, and you invested your money to get them to lvl 6. You just cost me 10 gold. And who knows how much money you cost other players!!!
yeah and i got only 2 more guys 🙁(
that are almost lvl 6 and i think they will need 2 exp on monday 😑Q!!!!!
kosovo je srbija
thank admin team! keep up the good work! 😉
lol
some players took a lot of money on inactive players, and we can`t earn anything...you should say 35 days ago that you do this...
