| 03:53.37 | ZorbaGama | unfortunately no, sorry |
| 03:53.54 | ZorbaGama | I've been massively tied up in rendering land. I think they have three people's worth of work on me right now. :( |
| 04:11.42 | Noshei | well that sucks |
| 04:12.01 | ZorbaGama | yeah :/ |
| 04:12.04 | Noshei | they really need to get some people to help with your work load |
| 04:12.16 | ZorbaGama | we've actually been trying since before I was on rendering |
| 04:12.23 | ZorbaGama | it turns out it's really hard to find a good rendering engineer |

| 06:19.35 | ZorbaGama | man, I think archeage server queues may be the worst queues I've seen in any MMO |
| 06:19.40 | ZorbaGama | it turns out the game is popular |
| 06:42.01 | Ivnedar | that has to be good for trion |

| 06:45.45 | Ivnedar | I've got 2-3 years of wow content to catch up on now. Guild I was in on rift that went to wildstar have finally given up there and are idling in wow til they work out what to do next |
| 06:46.52 | Ivnedar | I'm trying to cram it all in before 3.0 hits :D |
| 06:48.10 | ZorbaGama | the good news is that it's the kind of problem we like having. the bad news is that it is actually a problem |
| 06:48.36 | Ivnedar | yeah, you want it solved by being able to cater for that number of people, not by the people going elsewhere |
| 06:54.09 | Ivnedar | Curious if AA/Rift/Defiance/Trove have the same hardware platform or if they're all separate and different |
| 06:54.15 | Ivnedar | probably not something you could tell me if you knew |
| 06:54.38 | Ivnedar | More wondering about moving resources between games to cater for bursts like launch/expansion |
| 06:56.00 | ZorbaGama | I know we gave some of Rift's unused launch hardware to the Defiance team when they were doing their launch. That was a while back though, and that hardware's pretty obsolete by now |
| 06:56.51 | ZorbaGama | also, keep in mind that AA was developed by a completely different company, so, there's gonna be big differences in behavior and server philosophy |
| 07:05.56 | Ivnedar | I wasn't sure how generic the server platform could be, the more it was, the easier to shift resources around |
| 07:06.40 | ZorbaGama | it wouldn't surprise me if different games have different requirements for RAM/core count/cpu speed |
| 07:07.17 | ZorbaGama | rift's servers tend to be single-threaded, so we run a bunch of 'em on one machine, and as a result our machines are rather RAM-heavy. AA may have gone a different path and made it tricky to swap hardware around |
| 07:07.26 | ZorbaGama | but that's all conjecture, I have no idea what the actual deal is :) |
| 09:23.18 | Torhal | I just want to know why AA disabled addons for the US version :/ |
| 09:33.10 | ZorbaGama | I'm actually kind of curious myself |
