Shared exp between servers

I was curious if it's possible to share experience over multiple servers at once.. I would imagine you could do this with MySQL but the problem I'm having is only one server is allowed to write, so the changes on one server will reset. (I suppose I should have thought of this, woops)

So is there any way to share the exp over multiple servers?

Thanks

Don't think so. Cause when one server saves to the database, it overwrites any data there. So, when the other server writes to the database, it would overwrite the data the other server just put in.

yes

I'm sure there is a way.

YamiKaitou, yes.. but theres only one person with the same SteamID in each server.. so it shouldn't overwrite each other.. or am I mistaken?

Theoretically possible. Just have both use the same MySQL table. You are correct, there can never be a case where someone with the same STEAMID is on more than one server.

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.

Yea, but it won't write properly on one server.. it just resets it to the previous value. (The one that opens the MySQL connection first)

Any ideas?

Use MySQL, it works perfect.. I've had 6 different servers using the same DB... and Krazy has 2 (maybe 3) right now
