Hello, almost been with EqEmu for 10 years now. Use to host a bunch of little servers but have carpal now.
I have a 2.6 Ghz 2GB of RAM 50GB Raid 10 Xen VPS that I don't have much use for, but keep it around to compile stuff on some times.
Was looking to see if someone would be interested in using it to host a EQEmu server on. No payment needed, just looking to use this VPS on something I love.
Perhaps you have a home hosted server you'd like to move onto it, it's hosted in Chicago.
PM me if interested.
I've had it for years, and will have it for many more I assume, I'd let you know 30 days in advance if that were to change.

That is certainly a generous offer. It sounds pretty decent, though the 2GBs of RAM is probably going to be a major issue for anyone wanting to host a server with a decent amount of players on it. Normally mine uses that much after a fresh EQEmu server restart and it is running Linux. I do have 50 dynamic zones, so loading less than that would help with resources, but over time more RAM will be used and require frequent server restarts. I would suggest 4GBs of RAM or more if possible. If your VM could get 4GBs, then it seems like it would do a fine job for most servers out there. Though, with some tweaks, 2GBs would probably be fine for a small server with a low population.
