What about kicking out IIS and using nginx instead ? (but I'm pretty sure it would prevent you to use .NET stuff, though...)

If you already have Microsoft paid for, you should go with it. It makes everything easy and its very robust and very powerful. If you don't then you should go with Apache/Linux/MySQL and use JQuery for everything.

Arch, not that underperformance set ! NOOOOOOOOOOO !

@Blinkos: Depends, JavaScript completely exploded lately so there's a lot of better stuff coming in (jQuery and Node.js, great stuff, Processing.js and p5.js looks promissing too) so AJAX (or AJAJ) is more and more used (browser games like Illyriad do use that for example)

Don't worry I plan to overhaul the site once things stabilize, if anything I should be using .NETs UpdatePanel in a few places and I need to turn off VIewState on half the site, turn on IIS7 compression etc...]]> Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:43:49 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1161-what-is-the-game-written-in.aspx Message from CmrdRowen Doctor Dread wrote:

Apparently I am going to use this conversation to state that some loads (when choosing what something does, product lists, subproduct lists etc) should be done asynchronously. Dunno how server-stressful it is but it is insanely better user-experiense wise.

I agree, a lot of the pages are currently done in a non-optimal way from years ago. Once the UI stops changing It will get an overhaul in the back end]]> Tue, 02 Aug 2016 12:45:34 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1161-what-is-the-game-written-in.aspx Message from Blinkos Tue, 02 Aug 2016 10:43:38 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic1161-what-is-the-game-written-in.aspx Message from Doctor Dread CmrdRowen wrote:

Just wondering if anyone knows what coding language the game is written in, I'm guessing it uses html and mysql (or some other type of sql database) along with javascript other things.

VB.NET, almost no javascript actually. MSSQL database..
