I hope to see you there one year. Or at whatever player event Riot organises if I leave it too long :)

Matching your OS level blocksize in a good manner to the SAN block size is fairly important. I hope they took your 64K size into account when they laid out the storage. This doesn't always have to perfectly match but it usually does. 64k is kinda an oddball. Would love to know that someone actually ran performance tests with 4/8/16/32/64k blocksizes at both tiers.

In this market order clean up, we noticed that there is one crazy player that has an open order for 7 years now!!!! Any order expires after 90 days unless you update it...

So this player has been modifying this one order, at least once every 90 days, for the last 7 frickin years!! haha

There are 3 items left in his sell order - I wanted to just go buy them so there wouldn't be such a big gap in ID's :)

I got over ruled on that as well

(i sent a mail to community about this guy saying he (or she?) should get some kinda medal, so we'll see what comes of that)


haha. thats funny. Can't you just cheat and replace his order with a fresh one while he is not looking? We won't tell him.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

it's only like 1.6 mil per unit and not the highest in the region.


Must be something very rarely traded then! Or perhaps the creator just likes to see how long he can keep running it... Still, darn impressive lasting that long.


Its about the right price for synth boosters.

Every day I'm wafflin!

How much of the database is tritanium?

This should be like a treasure hunt, where we go and try to find this item. Since there's not much isk to be made on a 1.6m item I would guess that this is in null and is maybe a cyno generator, on the market for availability in the region and not for making isk. That's my guess anyhow, as any other explanation seems completely irrational lol..

CCP should send a concerned citizen report to the local authorities so that mental health professionals can check in on that guy.

I'm in a little more cynical :)

I also passed it onto security so they could check if it was some long forgotten about market bot sitting in someones closet praying for someone to buy the damn things so it could end itself :)

A lone old marketbot sits on some big traders client... all obsolete, it's purpose lost, save for one last trade-order. For years it's been keeping it up, adjusting its price, to make it last, this one last & sole reason for its abandoned existence.

It wants it to end, for 7 years it's been toiling with this lonely market-order, all forgotten, not only by its master, the Trader, but also by the denizens of Eve, who just pass by the market-order, only buying something once in a blue moon... fueling the poor bot's delusion that eternal rest is there, and yet it is denied, just beyond its grasp as the buyer leaves, and the order goes on, untouched for months once again, save for the small manipulation of the old market-bot to keep itself and its lonely order in existence.


3 items to go, and then eternal rest awaits, the bliss of nothingness... no more markets, no more Eve... no more a forgotten existence, toiling with this one lonely forgotten order...



*Buy this item* it says; *save me from my existence of nothingness* it cries... but the only answer is silence....




And the database ticks on... the bot's trade-order standing out oddly with its strange, outdated ID-number.... a lone testimony to its endurance & solitude....

Wow Shocked seems alot of folks enjoyed my inspirational flash. Glad to hear so many like it! All the info CCP DeNormalized released about this marketorder made it felt so tragic, and then he came up with the thought of a marketbot and it just all fell in place!

Neat! I'm a fan of Isaac Asimov's writings, but never read this short story until now. Cheers for linking it!


Also, this thread's the best, has it all, from technical info on how the server deals with data to CCP generating content & players acting on it (the market order!)

Best to go back to the thread, would hate to see it locked for derailment Straight
I wonder how much data our assets are occupying on the server? As unlike other MMO's, we can have stuff everywhere indefinatly, so I suspect it would be a big drain on data storage? Or not really as it's more static?
