Server Upgrades

Link to the thread on the Forums here.

According to the Forums, NCSoft is upgrading their server hardware in a series of cascading down-times across servers this week. Goal is to offer better performance and reduced lag for the upcoming (newly announced) double XP weekend, Valentines Day, real combat numbers, and "XP Curve Smoothing" (whatever that means). Looks like Triumph is being upgraded this Wednesday, so we should be OK for Tight Night on Thursday.

Sounds exciting to me, and I like that they are re-investing in the game like this. Lately I've been running into a bunch of new players online, so maybe this is a sign of a healthy business cash flow for NCSoft. That bodes well for the future of the game.
