Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

After 2 and a half years of service, the trusty peyo server had been put to rest. In replacement of peyo are 4 seperate servers handling the avatars on our site.

We used to have a small group of servers handling avatar saving, and all of them would try to save to peyo at the same time. Although peyo can handle the display of avatars, it cannot handle the large amount of save requests during item release or during events.

Now avatar saves to a database, and the four avatar servers will share the load in saving. Hope everything will work well when traffic is high. whee
