I'm excited too! Dedicated server. WOW---that is the top of the line. I mean your corporate websites, Xbox Live, even Blizzard, everything big is run on dedicated servers. This is big.

Just a cool news flash, these XEON processors are Quad-core. So we'll be on a 8-Core server. O_O

It's 12:36AM and I can't sleep -- I'm so excited! I just wish I didn't have to wait until 4:00PM EST to get home.

If anyone has good ideas where the arena masters should be moved to for more people to access like we did with battlegrounds, we're open to suggestions.

I got a Horoscope app for the iPhone the other day, I've never used it before but this stuff seems so legit. Yesterday talked about how I would need to be patient foe great outcomes, etc. Today's now says:
Expect some very pleasant surprises today, dear Taurus. [...] With today's aspects, any new relationship or project begun will have a wonderful energy behind it.
New project has begun, :)

Triple posting, yikes.


Just an update (edited second post too). It's 10:03AM now but I haven't gotten an email but it's simply because it's only 7AM in California. Too bad the center isn't in England or something because not only would we have better signal, it would be 5 hours ahead so my server would be ready by now.

I'll be able to check back in about 2 hours or maybe a little more. I won't be able to start working on it until I get home at 4PM EST. Since that will be the time period we're exiting our peak hours, unfornately we won't be able to see the server being a beast until the next day.... Unless we find someway to bring in a ton of people quickly.

I for one will be opening our WoWStatus.net update. It will have updated information about our server, with first including we are on a dedicated server.

Later we're going to be trying to program a checkout-system for donations(maybe) which will instantly handle donations. Not sure yet. I also plan to sometime make a more appealing website page.

Also the character-online page should load almost instantly soon. Instead of taking up Internet, it will not even affect in when it will also be able to process people online quickly too.

Might be a bit longer than expected since they said XEON processors can only get 32 bit software when we compiled for 64 bit.
