Sorry Teaboy, but it looks like it *WILL* happen when 4.81 rolls out. We'll start from scratch on 4.81 and see what the server performance looks like when we all mass in the same system or whatever.
From everything I can piece together, it's got something to do with our upgrade paths. We've done *ZERO* player whipes since i took over control of the server. None. absolutely NONE.
I have five people on my contact list (MSN) that have been running 4.80 with ZERO problems, and they never upgraded. However, one of them did an upgrade and experiences the *SAME* problems as we are having, so the problem isn't server related or specific to us. It's gotta do with the mod and what we changed.
Several high-profile servers all say that when you do major changes, like a x.x0 release, do a player whipe to ensure server stability.
We'll do the stimulated one during beta testing. If server load works out during the 2 weeks of beta test, we'll leave it as-is. if there's no change, we'll restore the old databases.
