Timesplitters Future Perfect (12th Weekly Game 12/11/10)

[lazyhoboguy]

Just wanted to remind everyone that our next weekly game of Timesplitters Future Perfect will be on Saturday 12/11/2010 at 7:30 PM Pacific Time (GMT-8). It will be played through LAN tunneling with Xlink Kai.

If you ever forget the time for the weekly match, it is also posted on the game calendar.

I really doubt I can make this game as that weekend I will be swamped with finals.

Not gonna happen, at least not in time. Xlink servers are all down, possibly because of a virus attack.

Blame Japan.

Japan, we love you, honest, but you're killing us!

The increased volume of players due to Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is maxing out our core server's network connection. This causes login delays and Orbital crashes. In order to ensure network integrity from 4 am - 2 pm EST, we have:

* limited logins
* disabled arena/avatar images
* disabled registration and player control panel
* disabled forums
* added this temporary page

The solution is straightforward: we need more bandwidth. I have made a request with our core server sponsor and am awaiting a reply. In the meantime, we need to tighten our belts and make due with what we have.

I concur. Sounds like a good time to try it out again.

I am planning on playing this Saturday, as my exams will be over by that time.

4 am - 2 pm EST

Our game starts much later than that, so xlink kai should be working fine for us. They said they just temporarily shut stuff down during those hours above.

But that just means to conserve space during the day. If people are still playing at night then it would be worse than the day because they aren't trying to conserve bandwidth.

[lazyhoboguy]

Well they are conserving bandwith during the day for us because that is when all the japanese people are playing. There is a huge time zone difference you know. By night time our time they are probably all sleeping.

Well I dont know. Maybe they all go to bed at noon lol. Anyways I cant make this game, so if you guys want to mess around on xbslink up to you.
