Server requirements

[dazlpro]

Hello all,

I wanted to start hosting an EQEmu server within a few weeks, but I was wondering if my internet connection would support lets say 8 players to play steady. I only have 30kB/s upload (150kB dl), so I was wondering how much bandwith a player would actually use.

Could some ppl who are hosting servers tell me their experiences and their setup? So that I know what I can expect.

Thanks a ton,

I saw a post talking about this , not sure which forum , but it was saying you needed 256k or better to run a server with more than a few ppl on it , because of a throttling issue.
it also made reference to it requiring alot less after the Emu catches up with Live EQ and starts using the new compression.

You should be able to accomodate 6-8 people yeah. There may be lag issues at times, depending on how many zones are running, but that should support the amount of people you're aiming for(if 6-8 is what you want the server to hold).
