You wake up, the survivor of a plane crash which has stranded you and a few other passengers on a deserted island. When your survival is constantly threatened by a number of mysterious entities, from polar bears to smoke monsters to the island's malevolent indiginous population by the name of 'The Others', it's up to you to live together, or else you'll die alone.
We've reached almost 50 players in less than 5 days, which is awesome!
In an effort to combat the lag that players had been experiencing when doing account-based activities (e.g. registration, logging in, changing settings etc.) due to the over-inflated accounts table, I've sharded the table into multiple others, with base account information being stored in the encrypted "accounts" table, output being stored in the "accounts_output" table, and all the other important account info like stats and items stored in their own individual tables. It was a lot of work, and I had to rewrite quite a bit of code, but I'm sure the performance and scalability benefits will pay off in the long run.
