Server Idea

[dragonseeds281]

It seems like alot of these servers have very few people playing on them. (Less then 100). It would seem alot more likely to just have one "EQemu" server running that is managed by a select group of individuals that are experts at running them. That way there would be alot more people playing on one server and it would be more like EQ live.

most of us arent trying to be EQ live. People want diferent things and server owners want to have there worlds diferent, this is the point of EQEmu, to have your server your way.

another factor is most people run there servers on a dsl and 100 people I think is pretty much impossable maybe 50 if you have a high speed comcast modem.

maybe 50 if you have a high speed comcast modem.

Try 20 or so........

Wonder if there are a lot of comcast users in my area, as when I had 2 other people apparently the lag was intolerable for them.

I bring up a test server every so often on my AMD 1.3 GH with 512 RAm, and it holds more people then my 2.4 GH with a gig of ram ( i play from the 2.4 )

If you want to host a server with 50+ people you need to find a dedicater server at a data center, runs $120+ a month.
