Can we get a blog on the recent fountain fights with specifics on server load and how you guys coped in general? what the procedure is on your end during engagements like that.

Do you watch them in person too? via GM cloaky ship ect and if so do GM/CCP commands get priority over other players as so to negate TiDi/Lag ?

I have a fun image in my head of CCP Fozzie and Soundwave stood next to the server holding fans, blowing on it and opening windows in attempt to keep it cool and not..well.. explody. With that in mind do you record temperatures of hardware ect? If so whats the record :P

Also can you confirm or deny rumours that TiDi has rendered Tuxford's job obsolete?

I don't think anything out of the ordinary took place on CCP's end. They remapped the uber Jita node, that's the only thing of note.

I'd rather have a tech blog on the status of brain in a box, or future anti-lag initiatives that we might not be aware of...

Nope. >4000 players engaging in a single pvp battle in a video game is a world record, and CCP should be proud of it- and maybe contact the Guinness guys to make this record official.
Definitely warrants its own devblog.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

If you want credit, then I'm happy to high5 you, but you should at least let the PR guy from CCP know :)
