« on: March 15, 2014, 06:29:42 am »it will happen in the form of secession, not an actual war.. there's no way that would unfold in my opinion.. civilians don't have the technology the US military has..With the crazy laws in Texas I'm honestly surprised they haven't declared themselves seceded yet.

Civil war simply won't happen here. The majority of Americans are brainwashed by their own news channels to a sickening amount and these news groups are allowed to display opinions under the name of facts. That's not to say things won't change though, a few well placed laws could remove funding from insanely idiotic political groups (Super Packs, the legal way to bribe someone), but we'd need a large amount of Americans to get together to get such laws in place, and sad people these days think a protest is equivalent to voting online or writing a "Petition" on the White House site.

Suggestions, Compliments, And Questions / Re: Hosting
« on: March 14, 2014, 12:33:45 am »I really was serious about implementing google cloud platform as a way to run the VPS. It's has non-relational/noSQL infrastructure so basically you could have every user that connects to the database connect to a different piece of hardware on Google Cloud, allowing it to withhold ultimately an unlimited amount of users (obviously would have to be multiple worlds after 2000 connections at one time) but Google data centers is probably the most stable option on the planet.Doing the math with what we're currently hosted on it would cost $493 a month to host on Google compare to our like... $40 a month, and that's not including DDoS protection which is the major cost for most hosting. RuneScape servers take very, very little power and bandwidth.
James or Ryan, you would have to change how user data is fetched and whatnot, I assume you already use mySQL for that (I assume this because you did when Aaron made the MySQL injection lol) so you would have to change how that is done in order to correctly integrate it into their App Engine. That way you'd have unlimited capabilities, scaling, and all that neat bullshit that Google will handle for you while you worry about content and community management stuff. I'm sure one of you is smart enough to comprehend what it means more than me to be able to do it.
Anyways, I know you guys have been having hosting issues and I've been nothing but an asshole here so I thought I'd throw in a productive suggestion.

Three major things. I won't be sugar coating this.
1. Increase your social media impact. Twitter is nice but there are so many other sites you could be using, and if you are using other sites like Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit you need to push them more because I have never seen them. I should know from the second I visit the home page that you have social media plugs. This was actually a major problem when the game and site were down because people just couldn't get information. Tell people to check the twitter for status updates and they'd be dumbfounded to the idea that the site had any social media plugs.
2. Vote page site spinner. SoulSplit has this one pat down and we're really getting punched down by not having one. Unless they're massively dedicated members won't click a dozens links in a thread they have to find on the forums whenever they want to vote (if they want to vote). Users should be able to type ::vote when they login to the game and have a browser window popup with the previously mentioned site spinner, simple and easy. Also a login message reminding members to support you by voting, possible with a timer to tell you when you can vote again (i.e. every 12 hours) couldn't hurt.
While no in game ranks or items should be given for voting you should still give people something, perhaps a forums rank for voting a certain number of times (10, 20, ect) along with a counter on the users profile for how many times they've voted. If there's anything any of us have learned from years of playing RS it's that people will slave themselves to death to earn pointless pixels on a screen.
3. The highscores. People like to brag, it mainly is the motivator to play these games in a "no life" fashion if we're all going to be honest here. Since we most likely will not see the addition of skillcapes to the game we need a place that members can show off other than the forums. There's not much more to be said on that topic.
Without the three of these the game will be permanently growth stunted. The fact that another server's word can be taken higher than ours is a sign that things need a PR rework.
