Throwing up more servers may help with the service layer.. However, no amount of servers will speed up database contention if it's down to coding..

I work on high volume (petabyte) databases in the finance area, and if you have bad code, you're F'd

Fully agree! Bad code eliminates power of servers. Specially when all queries come to one database without any help from replication, cluster, loadbalancing and other smart words in the area.

This is similar to increasing memory for solving memory lick - increasing memory will never help against memory lick.

Sure they can. Put inefficient code on a super computer and it will quickly. If you write efficient code/queries, it will reduce the need for powerful servers. MW is one big database of a game, and there is obviously too much data and requests going into servers per user.

Also if code didn't change much but the player base decreased, what else do you blame for lag?

As described above, this statement is wrong. Servers cannot help.

In the words of Hillary Clinton, you blame Russia.

Not saying it's a solution to throw more servers at the game, but I feel that servers were taken away from the game, to save costs. That will make thing worse no matter if programming is good or bad.

As fast as I can tell, Deca is doing all it can to keep game running while trying to sort though logs filled with unused weapons & inventory....yes, all the retired &/or unused accts are a major problem that can not LEGALLY just be deleted, , SO new codes &/OR maybe even create an "Update" to allow only "Active accts" into new server/system will help with the lag !

[Tinker]

So then the only real question that remains to be asked. What’s the best lubricant for that.

My girlfriend said to try K-Y Jelly.

Would deleting all unused units work? Or deting accounts that have t played in over a year?

[AstroGlide]

I don't believe accts can LEGALLY deleted as they are not property of Gree/Deca, so, IMO, an update that allowed only the PLAYED ACCTS on to a new server would cut the overloaded &/or crowding on server by at least 60%>>>>again just my opinion

You may be right Astro, I think I may have heard that talked about before but I'm not sure. Having separate servers would in theory fox a lot of it, but how do they separate the accounts?
