300.000 joueurs sur un même serveur et en simultané !!
"Yeah, you read that right. 300,000 players. A job listing issued by Microsoft's says exactly that, indicating that the game will be for the 360 and that it will be in "real-time".
The job is specifically looking for somebody who is "an experienced server developer to help develop our server architecture. We are building an extremely high performance system to extend console games to the server in new ways; creating a completely new set of web services to support dynamic programming information of games and scheduling data".
The successful applicant and their team will be responsible for "building a backend capable of hosting a 300,000 player game in real-time"
Mais quel jeu, nouveau, pourrait prétendre à amener autant de joueurs en ligne ?? Tout ceci reste encore pure spéculation, mais l'annonce du job pour cette histoire de jeu, de serveur, et de 300.000, est bien réelle.
"300,000 is a massive number of simultaneous players in real-time. Most MMOs use multiple servers to distribute their higher quantity of players. The only single-server game, EVE Online, has 300,000 players total - but only ever had over 50,000 playing in real-time at once."
