3 shards proving RunUO's power and abilities.

[Ryan]

I am going to hilight 3 shard that have proven RunUO's power and abilities:

1. BlitzKrieg:

Perhaps one of the largest RunUO shards, with client counts numbering greater than 200 and item counts exceeding 1.5 million items. Blitz stands alone when it comes to PvP shards.

2. OrbZyX:

Quite possibly the most customized shard ever created on any emulator, Orb was created by Sicklab the RunUO Scripter and his fellow friends. Orb is an amazing shard, with a 100% roleplay aspect to it. Userlevels peak very high on Orb, and with its userbase being hand chosen it provides one of the most unique game experiences ever.

3. UO Gamers:

UO Gamers has been consistantly a small shard. We never really advertised it, kept it on the downlow and it was small and fun for the people that played it, until recently we advertised it and it burst out of the gates and increased the playerbase by 150% in less than 7 days. With a peak of over 160 users online, boasting over 8000 unique accounts, UO Gamers has quickly become one of the largest shards out there, thanks to the users of RunUO.com

Quick stats for UO Gamers:

The real usage is most likely somewhere in between the two. Task Mangager although is correct most of the time, in this case its not. Krrios gave a reason, was reasonable I just forgot.

Either way thats damn good for your shard, you must have a good spawning program.

Actually they are both correct because .NET manages memory for RunUO (rather than RunUO doing it itself). The that RunUO reports is the actual amount of memory RunUO is currently using, the number the task manager reports is the amount of memory RunUO + the Framework has allocated, which are often times quite different. In this case though, RunUO can allocate more memory and it will pull from what is already allocated but not used before pulling from the OS.

Also, because the memory is 'managed' temporary memory is not freed until later, so in the case of doing a shard wide respawn, you make notice the task manager reporting an incredibly high number because RunUO just finished a very large task that create many objects, which althought they are no longer used, have no be deallocated by the system.

THere's no way around these problems, they are part of using a Memory Managed language, like C# and Java.
