At a Price
A few recall the legends. Even fewer know the truth. Magic may not be a secret, but compared to that of the Visitors, it might as well be parlor tricks. Now the human world is at stake, and only a select few can head off disaster. Will they?

Why did tonight's "Maintenance" take so long?
Well folks, as you might have noticed -- we took a planned downtime this afternoon for what we called "Maintenance". What we didn't tell you was that we were in the midst of an epic lag-fighting battle against all odds--lag demons had us cornered! Queue raging power metal here... (P.S., I recommend Hammerfall and Kamelot.)
Most of our previous trouble with the server has to do with the massive number of users that we have here on RolePlayGateway. As of this moment, we have over 25,000 registered accounts, over one million forum posts, and nearly one thousand roleplays registered in our latest hybrid play-by-post roleplaying system. We've been running a combination of three different servers for the larger portion of this year (Nginx, Apache, and MySQL, for you gearheads...)--which for the most part, kept things online, but they were slow at times, and even crashed entirely during others.
For the epic battlers of Sparta RolePlayGateway, this was madness. Something needed to be done to fight back the hordes of lag demons that constantly assailed the server room with wave after wave of laggertack--and it was with the force of a million suns that the RPG Staff fought valiantly to bring this war to a close.
a mysterious bard wrote:...It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw,
With civilians looking on in total awe.
And the battle raged on for a century;
Many lives were claimed, but eventually...
The champion stood, the rest saw their better...
After the battle was waged, only one side could prevail. As the dust settled on the battlefield, the winner was clear.
Without further ado, we are proud to present das wünderserver 9001: the latest in anti-lag technology brought directly to you by the cloud. Lag times in chat should be next to nilch from this point forward, and the rest of RolePlayGateway will be in lock-step with the pace of the modern web.
We'll be spending the rest of this week tweaking and tuning the site to accommodate for this amazing new techology; so don't panic if there's something broke. Head straight over to the Help Forum and make yourself heard so our expert team of Coders can give that part of the site some extra training with this new comrade-in-arms.
Now, how's about that Valhalla-esque celebration? :)
