OMG that meme is hilarious…thank you…
if it works, it doesnt mean it cant be better. I guess.

Why?
break up the EVE game server into more manageable parts […] that gets us closer to a Microservices Architecture.
Text chat accounts for a significant portion of CPU use on the game server’s proxy nodes.
Running text chat as a standalone service with an industry standard protocol opens up new future of possibilities.
Easier access to text chat logs for Customer Support.

After the Downtime, the customs offices were also broken. Some of my PI just vamished. Also docking didn’t work properly.
Ah. No new features in chat at all.
