      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      You continue to show your ignorance... Where did I claim nobody else knows anything? If my reasons are "idiotic" then I guess it's time for you to explain how you would overcome them all. Let me know when you come up with an actual valid, well thought out answer to the various problems that...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      I've proven time and again that I know of what I speak and don't speak of what I don't know. I know that's a bit hard for you to grasp but oh well.. I couldn't care less about you, I'm simply replying to your complaining about me/RS and disparaging me/RS... I guess again it's too hard for you...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Oh I know quite a bit about what I speak. I don't feel the need to make BS up, or needlessly go after people who I don't know... You came to my thread, I didn't ask you to reply. I didn't say anything about you until you showed up. It boils down to you need to mind your own business unless you...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Originally we were, we stopped after a while because people lost interest in that aspect. We adapted over time basically. I blamed you simply because effectively everyone I talked to disliked you and had a bad experience with anything near you and thought I and RS were affiliated with you. I...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      The lag was what I focused on most and was why nobody could touch us on the number of online players as while yes we obviously still had lag, we were consistently lower than anyone else that ever came close to the size! It was the topic of my frequent discussions with other server owners as well...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      While I understand that, at the time we were running, the game was substantially larger than it is now. At our prime (80ish online people) there was 20+ on most of the servers on the front page, so that was less of a reason then. Nowadays yeah you'd pretty much have to go to where friends are or...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Well, there's plenty of reliable metrics. First of which is watching returning players. If we held the number of players based on new arrivals that shortly left then it wouldn't mean the same thing as having a large active player base that played for months, or in some cases years on the server...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Well, the fact that we remained #1 for basically our entire lifespan, and by far had the most players for 90% of it's life says otherwise. We also had arguably the most knowledgeable admin team and some rather sophisticated tools to keep it up. There's not enough of a community now to warrant me...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Thanks! We might come back eventually if the game picks up steam again. Most of the admin team is still around my discord server. So yeah, didn't notice this message until now. I pm'd you a link to my discord server if you want to join.

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Honestly, no offense to Schine/Schema, but they've heard my complaints numerous times. If they were/are going to do anything about them I would think they already have what they need from me. If not Schema still has me on Skype and I have no problem whatsoever in answering questions he has. I'm...

      Red Shift (#1 On the official list!) - NO LONGER ACTIVE!!

      Who are you referring to? If you had this problem you should have brought it to me or Pepper. I was one of about 3 zero tollerance owners I knew of at that time... We understood far more than almost every other server/player what caused the lag. I spent literal weeks of time profiling the...

      Red Shift (#1 Server, Custom Mods, Custom Pirates, Boosted Mining)

      We are Red Shift! We have just reset the universe! (04/06/15) We are one of the leading servers for StarMade and continue to bring new features and better stability to our server! For almost exactly 1 year we have been one of the top servers and have been #1 for over a year now! We have a...

      Seriously? I'm completely calm, and I never said you couldn't. All I'm saying is adding more hardware isn't the way to help this before it can use the hardware that its already been given... Also the latency involved in linking people on home connections would probably far outweigh any...

      Hadoop at it's core is a distributed Map-Reduce engine and a distributed file system. If you don't know what that is I recommend doing some reading. I shall let Wikipedia explain this one ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce ) It is designed to filter/sort/summarize/aggregate huge bodies...

      Link Servers

      This is absolutely true.. I've run RedShift for 2 years, and know quite well the load behavior and issues with the server. Spreading out accross threads is easier than networking individual servers together as you can share memory, you just have to design the system to spread out. Obviously...

      I never said it should always use 100% but using 100% of one core and like 5% of all the others combined, hence the lag, is not utilizing the hardware at all... Also, under normal load, no a server should never use 100%, but when it's under a truly demanding load, ie peak time on game servers...

      Link Servers

      How am I upset? I'm pointing out the fact that making the game use more servers would be wasteful and pointless before it was able to utilize the full power of a server it's already given... Currently the server utilizes about 30% of a quad core server. That tells me that while it has a minor...

      You completely missed the part where the game doesn't even utilize all the hardware it's currently given, giving it more hardware wouldn't help anything...
