It is a great success. During the last days, the “Pixels War” of the world, inherited from Reddit, has experienced significant success, although it has been online for several weeks. Wplace.live allows you to place small pixels to make fresh on the world map.
Several countries and “clans” have joined to colonize the entire planet. Drawings that represent anime, events (such as Zevent) or very political messages, therefore, slid around the world.
Up to 100,000 applications per second
But if you have tried experience, you may have seen great technical problems. And that is normal: the mapping service behind the project, OpenFreeMap (an alternative to Google Maps and Apple Plans), explains that it has faced an unprecedented use of its tools.
On August 8, in 24 hours, three billion consultations were made, 100,000 per second. Normally, a user makes 10 to 20 applications, when Wplace actually 1,500 per user, specifies its creator, Zsolt Ero.
A critical overload that, therefore, gave rise to error messages, preventing the event from taking place correctly.
The problems seem to be absorbed, as Tech & Co could have seen, but overloaded may still appear. As 01net says, Zsolt Ero contacted the project managers again and seems to have identified the problem. A proposal to accommodate a specific body. Keep in mind that it will be free.
It remains to be seen if, in the coming weeks, Internet users will still participate in the Pixel War.
