I guess almost everyone has multiple thronemaaster-tabs open, so its indeed a good question if the shoutbox is causing that amount of trouble.

Maybe you could test it by disabling the shoutbox for a few hours and check the traffic? Because if thats the case, we could think about solving that problem.

otherwise, we wouldnt have to change how the shoutbox works. having to manually reload or open the shoutbox would be a huge bummer imo.

For me, the question is why therer are 16-17 hits per second even at the low times.

Assuming that we have 120 active users at once, that would mean that over a span of 10 seconds, on average each user did at least one action.
This doesnt seem logical to me at all, so there must be an issue with automatic reloading of the website.

Maybe you can lower the intervall in which the shoutbox/a LIVE-game is checking for changes?

I already could diminish page hits by 20-25%. Provider is still complaining because of slow database queries... It's just huge. I started to delete data...

Damn,

so summing up old playerstats and saving the sumup in a new database to only link to that isnt possible? This way, we could keep the data for a later time with a better solution while only having active querys to the new database?

I've been following this but I have 0 experience to contribute with something useful

Probably I'm saying some barbarity but can it help (for something) deleting every account of players that pretty much registered but never came again/came some 3-4 times and disappeared? Like delete accounts not entered for 3 years or something? Not significant but reduces the amount of info that pops up every time we open the info of members/players. The same with the feature of groups, even from our profiles?

Sounds like a lot of work for a small difference. Still, it just might add up to something...

Talking about making a difference;
Is there anything that stops you from changing the server hosting provider?
A German company I work for has outsourced their internal network to a provider in Poland simply because it's cheaper, so I assume something similiar might work for us?

Hey
Sorry to read everything about that. Nut it does make me smile the fact that more users around the world join this amazing community.

I dont know much about what you are talking about but Jm maybe you should tell us the ammount of money has to be paid to keep rolling like we used to. I believe there are a lot of players in the Realm willing to help with that.

I dont want to offend anyone with my words,i m just thinking how to keep the community going.

Agreed with Doc Nomaris and with you Lord  Clyde

As a quite active user here and a big fan but who knows nothing in exchange about technical stuffs the only idea I have is still this:

https://www.thronemaster.net/?goto=community&sub=forum&fid=2&tid=52873#top

I know that's not officially supported by the Council but it's a private initiative and nothing more

I know most people won't like this but... Maybe putting some adds on the site could help. I'm pretty sure it won't be much, but it would be something.

Thinking of the future, would it help to limit players on the amount of open games they can play? Find the average and reduce it?

Deleting idle accounts also sounds like a plan..

Ultimately everything comes down to cost, so if you need to run some ads to generate income, or create membership plans or push heavily for donations. (like wikipedia..)

It feels to me like adding advertisements or paid memberships to the website might create precedence (wording?) for a copyright claim from the game's creators.

UPDATE:
I did my last optimiztations today. My very earned vacation starts on monday.
If we cannot not convince our hosting provider to take us back from this isolated server, we might go offline within the next 7 days.
In this case I will seek for a new partner, but cannot promise anything or how long thronemaster.net will be unavailable.
