today was Akiba-Online´s hardest day ever, the counter switched to 5,250 users active at the same time, a peak we´ve never reached before, that´s nearly twice as much as we had before the last server upgrade, so the gateway time-out just was caused by that heavy traffic load, I´ve seen it even twice myself today, but that´s nothing to worry about, it normally only can happen at late afternoon and evening until midnight in Japan. Even the best server configuration may have problem with that amount of users at the same time, perhaps our admins even can tweak it still some more...
