It is easier when you’re not on a 28.8 dialup, but yeah. We operated BattlePirates in a single AWS data center in the US on EC2 instances, the realtime multiplayer part was fine for players worldwide (for some value of fine at least).

I think they pressed the GO button for manufacture for 2nd batch.

Next!
