Revision in the number of Active Servers

[TIMI 1,080]

Bad Update ! You are doing nothing good tanki lately. First the smart cool downs then the chat and the railgun effect and now this  ! All this is stupid, you are not thinking in the right manner. If you think by a players point of view , I will suggest :

Do Not Reduce the amount of servers ! This will just make the game more laggy, when they are more servers people like to go and play in a server which is less populated, and then play with their fellas so that they DONT lag.

It looks as if you are doing partiality with the EN AND DU community as the RU's get more servers and the main "XP" server.(aka server1)

The DU players will hate this even more than us.

 

If you seriously think for the benefit of Tanki Online you should do :-

1) Make a separate server for XP(yes , yes i know all that blah blah blah you tell us about CS not having mods for XP)

2) Make 2 separate servers for the normal drugs we used to have.

3) Get the old GB design back( not the one after the smart cool down thingy)

4) $$ PLEASE APPOINT MORE MODS $$

5) Make a limit for a server.(other than server 1:P) Most of the time when a server is full people keep on refreshing until they get in. During a double battle fund day (few days ago) I saw server 1 with 4000 people -.-.

 

P.S. Although yes, this update will be a bit useful as I will have some battles of my rank :D

 

HOPE YOU AGREE !

Ok, there are just too many changes these days...

[newrohan 1,040]

Nice, but will RU Servers remain same in number? That's partiality!

[Daniel898 327]

I like it. Maybe a couple lags but its fine.

[rokar123 11]

Nice update.

But might increase lags for some players.

[ArcticCow 454]

As most is asayiing itll be laggy

[r_bob49820 68]

well as long as they come to RU 1 im happy ;)

[Musty9 51]

Tanki this will be laggy some players i know go on the quiet servers as they lag no all servers will be mostly full definitely a bad update not everyone has a good computer internet speed.....

[MA3CTPO_HA_XAHTEP 832]

I'm asking myself what does this mean.

I guess more lags.  :D

[MarineMan2 1,164]

I hope to see the best come from this. Also, it sounds like a nice idea to immediately be directed to a somewhat populated server versus being directed to a nearly empty one as the system has been doing.  Looking forward to see the results of this update. :)

[canadarules 1,938]

Now more lag :D

[Now.You.See.Me 202]

Does tanki really need an update ???\

 

 

Reduce the laggs first then this update please RU1 already lagging badly even for the ones have good internet and PC now every server gonna lag

[I.EatMyBuIIets 9]

Good update

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Ah, so it will be possible to find a good battle on different servers... It should be a good idea but wouldn't it increase lag?

No, according to our calculations the peak number of players on each server won't get above 2700, so you won't see any difference most likely.

 

Nice. Making Standalone Flash Player better place to be ^_^

 

edit: Seriously? After taking our server 1 and renaming it to RU1, and now we're losing another 10 servers? No, this won't make servers more visited, people would only leave english community and go to russian. Take their servers! -_-

First of all, nobody took your server. It is just named RU becuase Russian players get sent there by default sometimes. It is still available to everyone, whether you use English, German or Russian version of Tanki Online. 

Secondly, English servers were picked for a reason, they are the least populated compared to RU and DE servers, even at weekends. So, even after this change they will be not as densely populated as RU and DE. Nothing to worry about here.

 

Nice, but will RU Servers remain same in number? That's partiality!

As I said earlier, it's not. Many (if not the majority) English-speaking tankers play on those servers too. Their population is adequate. Population of EN servers will get to about the same number after the change is implemented. 

[Indian_Tanker 468]

i ll love it but lags.......

[r_SERI0US0 128]

good update! now i think i will find battles that fit my rank in all servers :)

its because EN players playing in RU (1,2,3) servers.

You know there are many RU members in the game....

Nice update! It'll be good to see servers full!

[SaRdAr_MaTiN 13]

 

GOOD ((:

 

 

very nice one semyon :D

: D

[Mr.I3oSS 557]

So,Does this mean that if there are already 2700 players on RU 1

I cant Enter it for my xp?

Of course no, it doesn't mean that. It's just that the new number of servers is calculated to make sure that population of the majority of servers doesn't go above 2700 players. If it starts getting above that, we will be adding more servers. Simple as that.

[jomama_tanker 117]

Does each server in the list correspond to a physical server or a virtual server?

 

I'm guessing that these are virtual servers and you're running multiple instances on a relatively small number of physical servers.

 

If your goal is to ensure that each server is populated with an optimum number of players, why not just invoke new server instances as player count increases and rebalance the loads?

 

Better yet, as a long term solution why not completely do away with the notion of a "server". That's an old outdated concept. The technology already exists for you to aggregate all gameplay into a single pool and distribute the loads across multiple servers.  There's no need to expose any of that messiness to the players. It can all be managed transparently behind the scenes. 

 

As players all we would see is a giant list of maps/games to join. Based on the map/game we select your system connects us to the appropriate servers.  If we select another game, we're rerouted to whichever server is handling the load for that particular game.

 

If you want to invest in a worthwhile enhancement...work on the one above.

 

As far as RU vs DE vs EN servers, the reality is that Tanki doesn't prohibit crossover so the decision to pretend that there is a distinction is pointless. Any player of any language can play on any server already.  There are no restrictions (and shouldn't be any). In that context, a single pool of Tanki games intelligently load distributed across physical servers makes even more sense.

Not bad, good idea overall. I assumed that there weren't going to be any changes to the RU servers based on the popularity :P 

[r_Zesx0 39]

In my opinion you should instead reduce the Russian servers from 27 to about 20 cause around half the people that are on those servers are not Russian.

[Jovanos 21]

Okay, another unneeded update but ok

[Lone.Warrior 1,331]

Less servers ~ More lags
