A little glimpse into the development environment of Guild Wars Legacy

Hey all,

The last few days we've made a move towards a new server, Zu Heltzer (replacing our previous server, Vekk). Another server is in use for secondary programs and tools which is called Lutgardis - you might notice that the theme of server names for now is the Great Kurzick Houses.

Next to that, I also have a local development environment which I use to run tests upon and to help prepare for server moves like this. I thought a small insight in my local development environment would be cool!

This is the current set-up in my local mini-rack (which I 3D-printed myself):

As you can see, my local Kubernetes cluster is comprised out of the nodes Grenth and Dhuum. The third machine (the Dell one) is called Balthazar and the final one is called Proxmox, but lets pretend it is named Menzies.

So this is a small glimpse into how Guild Wars Legacy is being developed/worked on, the live servers itself are a bit harder to show off, but those are located in Germany.

Thats it for this little insight!

Lets call the next server Cavalon

I doubt that...

That's very cool. Server names that would be awesome following the same theme: Arborstone, Echovald, Vasburg, Amatz & Urgoz!

Currently, there's still a server named Gwen (which is the longest-running server I have with 4+ years going on) and Melonni. There has been a previous server called Arborstone already!
But since the current theme is the Kurzick Houses, the next names will likely be Brauer, Durheim and Vasburg. After that, I'll have to take a closer look.

From the top of my head, these have been server names before: Arborstone, Ashford, Barradin, Deldrimor, Aidan, Devona, Vekk, Sir Tydus, Shing Jea, Mhenlo and Cynn. I've gone through quite a few servers fo far

This is awesome! I'm so thankful this website exists and is thriving. I love the GW community

I'm really glad I can run Legacy for the community and I'll keep it running as long as I can (and you can believe me on that - I run a fansite for the MMO The Chronicles of Spellborn, too (which is a really unique game!) and that game died in 2010. I kept it online and kept on working on it and eventually we were able to bring the game back in 2019!).
