The meeting took place on February 10th, with a total of 5 attendees. The discussion centered around the recent increase in server lag, which has been affecting the overall gaming experience on Rizzaster. Several players reported long wait times for matchmaking, lagged gameplay, and disconnections, leading to frustration and disappointment.
The moderators discussed various possible causes of the lag, including the growing number of concurrent players, server hardware limitations, and the increasing amount of data being processed on the server. It was noted that the server's hardware has been upgraded twice in the past year, but it seems that these upgrades have not been enough to sustain the current demand. The moderators agreed that further upgrades or additions to the server's hardware are necessary to mitigate the lag.
A plan was made to upgrade the server's hardware in the next two months, with a targeted date of April 15th. The moderators will work together to research and purchase the necessary hardware and software upgrades, and ensure a smooth transition to minimize downtime. In the meantime, the moderators will keep a close eye on the server's performance and identify areas for improvement. Open questions include how to balance the need for increased hardware with the cost and logistical considerations, and how to monitor the server's performance effectively.
