As I mentioned before (and as I'm sure you all realize) our first priority is to make sure that the software is rock solid reliable, even as the site grows like a weed. In November of '03, we hit 10K players on the site at once - I remember because I have the screenshot to prove it. A week or two ago (less than two years later) we hit 70K players on the site at once. When the programming folks tell me that they have to work on scalability and reliability, I don't argue.

I wonder if you guys use load balancers/optimizers at your data centers... I'd be interested in talking to you about it, Lee..
