GAME CHANGE: Banking now works like before Started by: Squishy on Nov 10, '11 21:16

We've modified the laundry code to work invisibly behind the scenes. From all outward appearances, it looks like the old way we did things, however this is not a 100% sure fire way to fix the old concurrency issues we were having, which were fixed by the laundry.

At the end of the year, we will be taking down the game for a few hours to put in an additional server to help lighten the load of our main DB server. Freeing up the CPU a bit will shrink the tiny window where concurrency issues can occur even smaller, and hopefully will give us a good middleground between "nothing goes wrong" and "users make voodoo dolls in the admins likeness"

Presume admins are still fixing the cash that was in our banks? As a LOT of mine is yet to return...

I actually started to like the old system. It sort of wtaered down some money with it being scattered around the world! Although I was not a fan of the random 1% stuff...

I echo Alabama. I'm probably not missing as much as she is, but its a significant enough amount.

This is at least three and a half wins. Possibly four. Good work, everyone involved.

Removes the needles . . .

I apologize for any stomach pains you may have been feeling.

Hey, guys. All my city accounts are like frozen. I don't have taxes set to 0%, so if I have active people, my city accounts should be going slowly up, right?

Pharol sets his mario voodoo doll down.

I appreciate the effort to get things fixed. Thanks guys!

Report Post Tip

Ashes, from what I've noticed all the tax tributes are going to your on hand money. I noticed it last night.

Report Post Tip

True, Clarity. After mailing Squishy he confirmed that to me as well. I appreciate the reply.
