Stability dropping on 150 players? Explain. Remember most dev's don't run a server.

UsePacketPriority and ASyncNetworking should be fine and working if I remember right. Sugarcube I believe fixed all those issues.

Remember, just because you report the bug, if we cannot replicate the bug we can't fix it. I notice people say the bug's generally happen on larger servers. We simply don't have any way to have 50 - 150 people active on a base script server for testing these issues. If we cannot replicate the bug with ourselves.. and don't see anything obvious in the code.. then how can you expect us to fix things?

Anarch Cassius moved networking info up in the .ini. Seemed everything worked better. Is this logical? Hell no. Ini placement should have had nothing to do with the performance. SugarCube and I are stumped on why it makes the difference! We don't even see anything that would overwrite any of the info.

You all have to remember, we develop the thing, but we are not the original creators. We are constantly finding new things or having issues finding something specific. As shiryux said. Nothing is a 1 line fix. Sometimes it is a couple lines, but never just 1.

We try our hardest.

As for adding other SQL server support. Why? The one in there works fine. I see a lot of demands on us a lot. Which we try to meet. You all seem to forget that none of us are paid for this work. Most of us aren't 20 - 24 age bracket. We have families, college, work, etc in our lives as well. Hence my abscences.

I cannot speak for the old dev's with hiring a long time ago. I don't know why more people didn't get hired on as dev's. We obviously needed it. Me and ShiryuX added and fixed some major things. Made some decent changes. We are sorry life caught up with us. Yet, we are still here. Even if it is to answer questions.

As I said. I can get the contracts ready and hire, but I won't hire someone who has only been active with sphere for a year. I don't care if you have built large development games before. I personally cannot trust you. If ShiryuX thinks we should give you a shot. We might be able to come to an agreement. Remember, it only takes one angry dev to ruin the entire server . Well, until we catch it and fix the issue or roll server version back
