Queues Regardless of Layers?

There is a reasonable chance that like recidivism, they will be back at it later on.

42

Yes… like any time there is a content drought in retail… but that wont be in a massive wave, more like a slow trickle…

43

I don’t see how, max capacity is max capacity regardless of how you chop it up. Take a pie for example, this pie has an area of π (radius)2, now if you cut the pie up into different sections the pie still has an area of π (radius)2.

44

Yes, and when the max capacity is 3k and you raise it to 12k, and cut the new pie into 3k pieces… IT FITS MORE PIE!

We are not having 12k Pies without cutting them up. That was the point of what Ion said in that interview.

45

The maximum capacity of the pie tray still only holds 1 pie.

46

C’mon man. You’re not that dense.

You don’t need to make this personal, If a blade holds 12k people it hold 12k people, it doesn’t matter how you split it up, the hardware only has so many resources to allocate. splitting people up into different blades doesn’t magically make more blades or resources available to use.

:man_facepalming: I’m done for the night. Your inability to grasp basic technical concepts reduces any discussion to “No.” “Bingley boop!” “No.”

Another argument from incredulity.

50

Not an argument. I literally cannot discuss things with you because you boil it down to irrelevant concepts.

51

Then concede, idc, not my problem. Don’t throw out bs an pretend it’s an argument.

52

Argument by exhaustion is also a quasi-fallacy. You don’t win by making everyone else sick of your ridiculous arguments.

Ad nauseam is a Latin term for argument or other discussion that has continued to the point of nausea. For example, "this has been discussed ad nauseam " indicates that the topic has been discussed extensively and those involved have grown tired of it.

I didn’t claim that, are you?

54

The topic no.

Your reliance on arguing that a given blade has a certain capacity somehow meaning something, yes, you have repeated that ad nauseum and it still doesn’t make your case any stronger.

55

The argument is closer to total capacity is total capacity, regardless of how it is cut up, the blades were an example of hardware limitations.

56

Except that a realm isn’t limited to a single blade and hasn’t been for years.

57

So? That is beside the point, the total amount of a pie doesn’t increase because you move pieces of it around.

58

That was the point you were making.

Blizzard’s total server capacity is far and away bigger than any Classic requirement could be.

59

A realm could be 50,000 players, spread across 7 blades if they felt like it. Their capability far exceeds any limitations we have. Gameplay is why they are layering.

Thanks for giving me my argument.

I’ll just leave this here for you to think about. If a data center can support 1 million people, before it is at full capacity, it is going to support 1 million max.

Whether that is with 3 realms of 4k people per blade or whether that is all the blades being used to spin out individual virtual instances of the worlds and share the resources of all the servers to do it. The same amount of resources is being determined by the hardware, and once those resources are maxed out they are at capacity. However you slice the pie, the area of the pie stays the same, unless you remove or add to that pie.
