Yeah I kinda got confused by that second post there, you ok there buddy?

@ tick: well it is impossible to say how much it would cost, because we don't know the statistics of the servers, but I think some 10-20million dollars should do with all, hire more devs and fix the servers (which are extremely expensive) maybe buy some publicity, permanently remove some competition by unfortunate accidents, dominate germany and it's parlament or what the hell you guys have over there, buy nuclear arms from russia and really say "creating new worlds" or what the hell was the slogan for tekktonic engine o_O

10-20$ Millions sounds FAAAAAAAR off.
With that budget how much of that would go to the devs? 95%

Besides i wonder if they realy own their equipment id say they are renting it.

They don't say if they own or not their servers but clearly you can see the parody in my post, I didn't think it would be neccessary to use carefully laid figures for this kind of post, in future I will try to calculate my parodyfigures more carefully :)

Yeah but the task to realistically evaluate how much they would need to turn this to a good game, was lacking facts. But if you want solid figures then Half-Life 2 cost hefty 40 mil to make so I don't think they need more than 5-10 mil to improve allready "finished" game. Even Peter Molyneux took only 12.5 million pound loan to finish and (propably) publish his two games. So there is nugget of truth in there ;)

Okay, it's REALLY old, but maybe it still holds true? This is was the server configuration as stated by MJS as of Beta 4 of NC1

here (http://www.neocron.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=NeoContent&file=index&pageID=42)


The bug that makes the server go into recovery mode pretty often is not necessarily load dependent. It is a more like a sync problem between the world servers and the master server. Let me explain this: A realm (world) consists of up to 10 high spec servers. One server (master server) controls the others, one server keeps the database (db server) and the other machines are so called world servers.

So, assuming that still holds true, that's potentionally 40 machines working the four servers. Upgrading all that can't be cheap, especially if they're all real server grade hardware.

Whatever it is, I doubt they have the money to shell out pimp ass hardware for at least 40 boxes. :(

Well I don't know how much money KK has, but you can get a supercomputer for a measley 5million dollars.

So I think KK can go with less than a super computer :)
