DCC's Delight Server News

[Urmel]

haha, afaik nobody knows how exactly the scoring system works but 7051 (or maybe Sxen knows as well but refuses to tell). 7051 was fired from Sxen's company or was killed by him or was fired and all the grief and despair killed him.

So he took all his knowledges with him, down to his clammy grave...

[AU]

... and only http://www.7051.info remained as an eternal monument for future generations (nice scores btw...)

DCC will move to a new box soon (nitrogen.vapor.com, a Dual E5405 in the Level 3 hosting facility in Düsseldorf).

The old box will be up until June, so in the meantime, we're running experimental 2.5 servers on the new machine (labeled "D2C5C"). There is no web site and no stats for the new machine so far.

Enjoy.

Soon the only machine which doesn't lag for me will end it's life. It was great time.

Did you try nitrogen already? The new location should have no worse connectivity than carbon, as it has direct access to the same peering facilities where carbon got it's rather good german connectivity from; however, in most cases it should be much better reachable from the "far" Internet since it is now more or less directly connected to Level 3's Euroring.

I get 20ms higher ping, but it just might be a bad day.

[Sxen]

If this happens, I'd be interested in tracert / mtr to both carbon.vapor.com and nitrogen.vapor.com for comparision.

Thanks,
Sxen

But that looks equally good.

Hi,

with the release of 2.5, we've now made nitrogen the main server and switched off the 2.4 servers on carbon. The stat system has been migrated to 2.5 as well -- there may be the occassional glitch in the stats parsing, please inform us if you notice something.

The stats have been reset with the 2.5 release, on the ground that this is now basically a slightly different game. If you are interested in the old stats, they are available under

http://olddelight.vapor.com/

until carbon is being switched off on start of June.

nitrogen is now running 3 ladder servers, which default to 1on1, 2on2 and 3on3 configurations; all of them can be voted into any of the ladder modes, though.

There used to be some glitches with the routing from the netherlands, which is now hopefully fixed. If you experience worse connectivity to nitrogen than to the old carbon, I'm still interested to hear about it.

Best Regards,
Olli
