This brings bad tidings for my angst.

But, I can deal.

As long as it's working again by the time someone else starts saying really stupid stuff, I'll be happy.

Shit, too late.

Some people have been getting links to pretty powerful items, been posting on message boards asking if the items were legit (they are, since the in-game item link feature only links to the EQ item database), and people have been posting the URL to the Uber Item Generator, so it's been getting a lot of hits lately.

I've disabled it, so the boards should start speeding up. I'll re-enable the ignore feature tomorrow if things are running smooth.

Taran thought this was the Ricky Martin Fan Club Forum and wrote:
Ah ha! Apparently the folks at Verant implemented an "item link" feature in EQ, like the one in AO. In game, someone can send you a "link" to an item that you can click to view an item's stats.

I honestly have to wonder what made Tim make the optimization today instead of when the SQL was put up initially.

I also wonder what he could have done.

But damn 75% performance boost.. I have .. a feeling the Taran installed MySQL 4
