I´ve read, and all i see is envy people that have huge knowledge about sro dev but creatively are simply donkeys.Quote:
Did you even bother reading? That is the entire topic of this thread, that it is impossible to have more than 4k overall....:rtfm:
They just dont want to accept that theyre huge knowledge it is simply useless haha :rolleyes:Quote:
They have zero idea how 10k players looks like, they think that just because they see a huge amount of players around them at GO (which they can perfectly check on their bots, but they don't) and see the website counter saying 5k/8k or whatever number they decide to put it's true.Quote:
yet u still faking ur own numbers :pimp:Quote:
Greetings,

Someone just recently asked me if X playercount on X server is real or being faked... my response was quite simple:Quote:
I would measure it by in-game activity, for example, survival arena is usually a good way to measure how many real players are, in eagle there use to be 600-800 players in survival, and since not everyone is interested in such events, I could say that eagle had at least 1000 real human players. so the server playercount being around 2.5-3k actually makes sense as most of people nowadays can play with multiple laptops, multiple ISPs, etc. But ofc, numbers higher than 3.5k are just unrealistic and definitely fake for absolutely any server.Quote:
"by all the fake numbers going around I sadly cant tell you if the number is real or fake, I simply lost the ability to guess player numbers"
You clearly don't know about programming at all. Let's put it in simple words, silkroad shard manager is single-threaded, it means that it only benefits from 1 single thread, which means that if you run a server in some Xeon 1337 Ultimate Super Saiyan 512 Cores 1028 Threads, the shard manager will only use 1 of these 512 cores. Get it? now, imagine a server with actual 3500 players, let's imagine that each client has a traffic of 10 packets per second, that shard manager would need to handle 35.000 packets per second (this traffic is much, MUCH higher as more players are together, like in unique events, jobbing, etc), and keep in mind many of those packets will incur in DB calls. Do you really think a single core can handle that?Quote:
Why silkroad files cannot handle 3500+ clients?
I'm pretty sure a PC can run 3500+ clientless bots... but a server cannot handle +3500 clients? I cannot see the difference. All depends on PC resources actually and doesn't matter if it's compiled in 1980, or yesterday.
PC resources (CPU power, RAM capacity, Bandwith limit) will be always the limitation.
Clearly I don't know nothing about programming. Teach me please! ..Quote:
You can always look for bechmarks yourself. It depends on the frequency and other technologies. Pentium 4 fastest procesor is 3.8 Ghz, so it's faster single-threaded than most of dual core procesors of that time.Quote:
So you're telling me, one thread into some Pentium 4 it's as fast as one thread into a Dual Core processor?
I'm measuring computing resources in general, and I'm trying to put it at simple words; A program created at 1980, can run faster even single-thread into the newest processor these days.Quote:
