    Hello Space Pilots,

    We have a bit of good news for you! Normally our instances run with multiple game servers each, then the various maps are spread across each game servers. On the test server, we deactivated all game servers apart from 1 and ran several builds on the server with the aim to improve performance.

    In the end what we saw was that the test server had around 400 players in the maps running from only 1 game server before we began to saw some slight lag issues. This is was a significant performance increase on the test instance’s game server compared to the live instances.

    Our aim is to sync this new version to live servers on Monday. There is no guarantee that the live servers will behave in the same way as the test instances, we will be attempting to recreate some weekend conditions.

    To do this we will be reactivating the double galaxy gate rewards event on Monday in the afternoon, in addition to a larger than normal discount on the cost of galaxy gate spins. How long the extended double galaxy gate rewards event lasts will be dependant on the result of the performance test on live instances.
