Title: What does "AnthemRO" look like?
Post by: xTodesengelx on August 14, 2009, 09:08:40 am
I've been playing here almost four years, and it makes me so curious to exactly what I've been putting my time and long hours to.

I was curious what the server looked like. Is it a server farm? One computer or a bunch of them?
Would the GMs ever post a picture of it, or is that a big secret?

I also am so curious what the GMs do in their spare time when they aren't running the server. Like, what they do for work or hobbies outside aRO. Are they all friends who live around the same area, or do they all live across the world in different places?

Hopefully someone can answer this, or maybe even better the GMs answer themselves.

XD

First of all, the GMs are spread out everywhere.
Some in Canada, some in the States, some in Germany!
And second..this makes me think stalker.

Pretty much, that's what the server looks like. A bunch of servers (see those horizontal things) placed on racks in a big room.

I ask myself the same questions. It's not that big a deal if we know if you guys work or like to do certain things on your free time. I been to plenty of servers in which the GMs have a small profile of their RL job, hobbies, and what music they like.

They are located in a datacenter somewhere where aRO rents a few machines.

It's not just the machines, it's also the network lines, routing, etc.

The servers are located in a rack in a huge computing center in Montreal, Canada. Our ISP is iweb8.

http://iweb.com/about-us/datacenters/ Pictures and even tours of the datacenters. /ok

We are most likely in the CL one even tho I am not 100% certain.

The GM team is shy to talk about themselves and don't wanna share the information for all the questions posted here :D
