RE: Gumball 2014 - Discussion - RedJohn - 2014-08-02 16:35
Can we have a third server to give a fair chance to all participants to enjoy without being disappointed every time they want to join as the server are full , please ?
RE: Gumball 2014 - Discussion - Dan - 2014-08-02 16:39
I think it was mentioned in TeamSpeak before about doing it, but the InSim was only developed to work with two servers.

May I remind that sleeping is one of the important things, if not the most important, that a human have to do. Hopefully none of the drivers will receive health injuries during the event.

You know, you actually die sooner from sleep deprivation than from starvation.
Make sure you all get the rest you need

Someone mentioned about the insim not working on more than 2 servers, Would it be possible to have 4 servers instead of 3?
Or is that not possible? also when does the list update I signed up this morning.
RE: Gumball 2014 - Discussion - CaliFreak - 2014-08-03 17:43
When did the Live-List update?

There's a post or two made about it in a private section, and I've just instant messaged a leader about it. Hopefully it's done soon. Sorry for the wait.
E: Elmo's done it.

Well if someone said the InSim only worked on two servers, how can there be four servers?
RE: Gumball 2014 - Discussion - BP - 2014-08-03 19:42
My guess is that hackster was thinking of numbers divisible by 2, or even numbers, I don't know. But I don't think it works like that at all.

Yeah, I meant that it could be placed on another two servers as well instead of it being uneven. I would of been happy to pay for the server's as well if needed.
RE: Gumball 2014 - Discussion - Elmo - 2014-08-03 23:25
The InSim itself and our server are more than capable of running 3 (or more) CityDriving servers with little effort on our part.
However, the ancillary (mostly website) stuff would be more complicated to lever in another server, as all the online stats stuff (number & graphs of players online etc) would all need to be modified.
Usually, the number of players online during Gumball drops after a few days. If it doesn't this time, we'll probably think about adding another server.
RE: Gumball 2014 - Discussion - FR4NOx - 2014-08-04 18:14
Does it seem to anyone that this year's Gumball is more of a wealth race than a driver's race? There are some users doing the event in just XFR/UFR (or even GTRs) that can maintain a higher average speed.
Let's say a user with 100k wealth wants to try and win, but the fastest car they own is the FZ5. Okay, they'll drive that as fast as possible all day, every day.
Let's say there's another user, with 1m wealth and every car possible does the exact same.
It's much more difficult to keep up with a XFR in turns when you're driving a FZ5 (or even a LX6). It's also much more difficult to obtain a XFR with 100k wealth (let's say you're new here and started playing like 6 months ago).
Don't forget the potential speeding fines, speedtraps, and general loss of money from speeding and maintaining the XFR.
Unless you have several people giving you money, you're going to have a hard time.
The best driver can't win. Only the wealthiest one can. The best driver would have to give up sleep just to keep up with that XFR and then his health would be at risk, because of someone's money advantage.
It also makes it easy for a previous GB3K winner to just keep on winning, and winning, and winning until there's no point of competing for anyone at all.
Does anyone agree or is this just me?
