Same thing with me, I have no idea what the deal is. I wish they could fix these things. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to do. What exactly are our developers and senior staff so busy doing that they can't make this have a live update? :/

You can still do /stats if you want to check something. /stats updates.

For the record, our system is a LOT more complex than that.

Our ranking system runs once a day (or is supposed to; sometimes it doesn't and we have to run it manually) and takes 10-15 minutes to run each time. The reason it takes this much time is because it has to sort through all 1.3 million+ players and do plenty of calculations to determine where exactly they belong in the rank hierarchy. Multiply that 10-15 minutes times hundreds of people trying to load the leaderboards (if we were to make them update live), and you now know why they don't update live - it'd crash our entire system doing so.

I'm actually running the ranking script as I type this, so you should see updated ranks in a few minutes.

I know some other rankings that have hundreds of thousands of people and update automatically. They have it programmed so whenever someone gets out of a game it calculates, that way it doesn't calculate everyone at once. :rolleyes:
