Blizzard will hold an auction of outdated server hardware, and the profits will go to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
The Defias Brotherhood EU server hardware will be auctioned in the second round from 10/24 to 10/31. So if anyone here is swimming in money, (s)he knows what to do! \o/

Blade systems don't necessarily have any internal storage. I suspect any DB-specific long-term data (just character and guild data) would have been stored on a separate database server

I don't understand. How can they sell them? Are they replacing them or updating or something? Heh.

I can remember when they first updated all the server hardware, not long before TBC, days and days of hideous lag, random disconnects, realms being inaccessible for up to a day at times...

Got to hand it to Blizz, they do it with barely any noticeable downtime now.

Aw darn it... it's like buying a Forsaken... you only get broken parts which are old, dusty, ugly and have been replaced by much cooler things.

Would be neat to buy the server and keep it in use by say, hosting the Defias RP forums on it Wink

It's no longer functional. Apart from the sentimental value all you're getting is a very big paper weight.

What is a "server blade"?

A blade is literally a self-contained server, which collectively fits into an enclosure with other blades. The enclosure provides the power, cooling, connectivity, and management to each blade. The blade servers themselves contain only the core processing elements, making them hot-swappable. HP refers to the entire package as a BladeSystem. By consolidating and housing multiple servers in a single enclosure, energy costs are significantly reduced, cabling is drastically reduced and managing servers is simplified.
