18.6.7 Will Sigil use real time server patching?

There are ways to patch SOME of your code/data without requiring that servers come down... and if the infrastructure is so designed, that "SOME" number can be pretty high.

But if someone has figured out a way to patch EVERYTHING in real time, I'd like to see it... that would be pretty darn cool.

Personally, it seems like a lot of work with potentially catastrophic bugs... so I'd rather spend time working on other things.

There's LOTS of stuff to work on code-wise in an MMO... and for every feature, you can find SOMEONE who feels "Well, that just HAS to be in there!"... But everyone would agree that you can't fit EVERY feature in a game...gotta pick yer battles, IMHO.

... but yes, it's possible... - Ryan Elam, Lead Programmer
