VMWare

[Tulwen]

I want to try setting up my own server for use locally on my personal network, but I do have a limit on the number of PCs I can use. Would it be possible for me to set up all of the necessary servers in VM Ware sessions on one box. If not how many boxes would I need?

You can easily run EQEmu on one machine... hell if you only plan on inviting a few friends on your server to play, you can even get away with running EQEmu and the client on the same machine. My question is why would you use VMWare?

Ah ok, I thought the client and the login server and the EQemu stuff all had to be on seperate boxes. (separate IP's). VMware would've allowed me to simulate that. Guess you can't tell I'm a newb. :p

Thanks a million, Lord Dude of the Caves
