The server is full, try again later (1017)

The servers are not the issue. The data center is the issue. They picked a small-time data center far away from the main backbone, with an obviously inexperienced staff, and we're paying the price.

I'd be surprised if the servers themselves were anywhere near capacity. It's the interconnections between them that are saturated because of bad planning, and trusting the inexperienced data center to handle it.

at anyrate SE is stupid to let this happen, IMHO, or take that kind of risk, maybe we should all quit and get refunds if this is how important they think NA and EU are

Actually, it appears the company involved offers Tier2 service at least throughout most of NA... up to 1Gbit connections between locations (that's potentially over 100 megabytes/second, approaching consumer grade hard drive speeds).

At least, that is who the IP for Midgard is registered to.

But, no argument about the poor planning. Even though Ormuco has only been established since 2008, not sure I'd say their data center guys are inexperienced (provided that's who is in fact managing it for them). To pull in big companies, they have to have some people with some clout working for them. Even when I was working for a small local firm, companies like Budweiser and Pepsi wanted to see resumes of the people that would be working on a project when taking bids.

If we are to hold someone to blame, it likely falls more to SE for either not providing enough info for planning--or trying to cut too many corners.
