Just so everyone knows, this is just my test sever if you see it online soon. I am going to be able to work on some more features of the guide so if you see it, your more than welcome to swing by and say hi, but dont expect anything mind blowing.... yet, muhahaha!
I will be using it to get more information on the following things,
[
Bandwidth usage.... Hopefully
#commands - What they do and what is available to you.
NPC spawning
Mob Spawning - given with the last one
Port Forwarding - Making sure Tom Dick and Harry can get on your server if they are in Timbuktoo
And other things.......
With the port forwarding thing, I have a general Idea, and lots of information ot help the many many routers out there, but hopefully I get this right and see someone log in so I get a big flag that says "HEY IT WORKS".
The others are givens. I have been wanting to do this for sometime, but the hours a day I can spend on it have been quite low and now that I got a break, maybe I can try to fill in some of these things and make my guide a little better.
The overall idea is to help everyone not only create servers, but create great servers that way when people come here and login, they pick whatever looks cool and are still getting somethign that is great overall. This way they stay and play more. If someone comes and gets on a server that has nothing special, tons of bugs, missing information ect... there more than likely to rate EQEmu as a whole because of that one servers performance in thier eyes. This will help get people the knowledge and tools to make their server great to ensure the overall imagine of EQEmu.
You know how if your on the job, your told "Your representing this company so behave properly!". I feel the same should apply here. Your allowed to make your own server without any questions and thats awesome, but if you make a bum server that lags, drops clients, has nothign interesting ect.... then someone will make a conclusion that EQEmu in general is just a buggy thing andthey will go back to LIVE. I think EQEmu is awesome, far better than LIVE in terms of hotness, but people will be detered from because of that one sour taste they got in there mouths from Joe's Server of Nothingness.
This post and the updates in the guide are soley to give all us the edge on making are servers elite and among the best out there. Creativity is the key to a great private server. No one wants a perfect LIVE clone without the playerbase of LIVE so we must make interesting catchs to draw people and keep people. There are niches for every player. PEQ DB is great for those that want something LIVE like, but with the LIVE like fees. Angelox has done wonders with a classic style DB for the vets of EQ ect... The one thing that we lack here is Custom stuff, a whole new world per-say so hopefully, we can reach that point to fill in another gap in contentability.
I am also going to be working on a Server package more or less. Anythign I do or create while toying in my Lands will be zipped up and available for download. Daily or every other Day release of custome content that someone can take advantage of. This is just a theroy and hopefully I can keep with it, but it could be great if people like what I do..... maybe not though. There is a DB of a LIVE like server, and a DB of a Classic like server. Why not make a DB of a Custom Server ya know. Give the masses another choice.
Anyhow though, I will end this post here. Any and all updates will be on this thread until I get a possible site setup to handle all my bizness, a-ight G!
