Update on performance, stability & engagement

Lastly, I want to give a quick update on performance, stability and engagement.

Stability wise, we are still seeing great uptime on the server (close to 100%, 1 week+, restarted only for script updates typically) and an almost zero volume of client crashes. I wanted to share an interesting graph about our performance, we've spent a lot of effort both multi-threading our server and optimizing our network utilization to ensure our server is performant under load, and we've now seen these steps paying off in action.

During a 40-50 player count, we are seeing on average 5-6% CPU utilization, 2.33% memory utilization and  only 1.34mbps traffic. These numbers are very close with what we see at lower player counts too, meaning our script is highly scalable to large player counts without issue.

As for engagement, the graph below shows our log operations per day, which represents the amount of player engagement in our server. As you can see, it's been growing fast over the past 1-2 months!
