Re: Server
 

Looks like there may be a use for my dinosaur LOL

Don't know how much good for zone server running but I'd gladly set up my Dual PII 400 1gig ram mounted in a walker for it.


--------------------
I say, "Deliver me from Swedish Furniture"

I have a 1.1 GHz 256 mb Ram with 20 gig hard drive which could run maybe the world or 1 or 2 zones, since 99.9% of the time it will be idle. I am getting a new laptop though that I may host from on occasion, 1024 MB Corsair ram, 3.06 GHZ with Hyper Threading, 120 Gig 5400 RPM hard drive with 2mb cache, 128 mb ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card. So fourth.

Well hell...
 

Lets stop talking about it and do it... I'm a man of action... :twisted:

Send me a mail, ultra@imook.net or meet me on the EQEMu chatserver, and we'll start talk'n about how we can do this.

Server
 

Running a p3 500 with 256 megs of ram.... Pretty soon, this is gonna be a full time server, so i'll happily pitch in.

Also, as long as im at school, i'll have a 100 megabit connection, I think that should be ok. During the summer though, It's gonna only be on DSL =(

Let's get this thing started already... lol (And to those of you who *don't* want this to be a legit server, go play something like Forever Hacking (No offense, personally, i think that once in a while, FH makes for a great time). But truthfully, it's absolutely NO fun when Everyone on the server is level 65, and weilding all the uber armor/gear that can be summoned... It's just not fun.... There's no challenge... No Skill.) =P

Just my 2cp on that btw.

What the hell is a t-10?

A T10? A 10 mbs ethernet connection. I'm on a LAN at home with my ISP and Internet backbone.

Theres no such thing as a T-10, its a T1 and a T3, then oc3 oc12 etc.

You're thinking 10baseT, buddy.

T1, T3, OC are different.

oops, yes, I'm thinking Tbase10, yeah. Sorry =)

Hey, we're moving off topic! :-\ Lets make a damn megaserver, and stop talking about it... And just -do- it...

I'm ready and willing to dedicate my time to this project... So anyone actualy wanting to get this thing off the ground, for the love of god, just email me...

Is it going to be like EQlive? where we can have huge raids?

...
 

It isn't going to be like anything, if no one wants to help, Or stop being lazy and do something to get this done...

I have a computer that I can dedicate to the cause.

I'm going to do some reading on the subject and see if I can get a database shared between a couple of my computers. If anyone is taking names for this project, you can add me to the list. You can reach me at my email address or through AIM.

not to shoot you down, but you have to deal with the databases in a strange manner whilst connecting the "mega" server. My ideas for it would be to have one computer host the db, have the others connect to that computer to send the data back and forth, and there will be data... believe me...
From there... i honestly wouldnt connect many many computers together, i would find maybe four people with great connections, and have have one host velius, kunark, faydwer, and antonica. Antonica and kunark will obviously need the higher powered servers. I would kind of pull off a guildwar theme as well, to try to isolate the people to a shorter area, this way there is actually some interaction between PC's... (player characters). I honestly would host a special server, that wasnt like normal eq. Pull off something to change around zone points, but make it so you have to type in... /zone to actually zone (something the WintersRoar server made effective) This way you have more freedom to do what you wish with the server. You could host just antonica, yet set up the zone lines to have all of the PoP connected up so you can zone in.
Also keep in mind that the three top servers have pretty dedicated people. Guildwars, Krushers, and Forever Hacking. I only manage to check this thing once every few months to see how things are going with some old buddies. And i turn it on to see that GuildWars has hit 100 people on the server, unless you plan to be able to that, or come up with a better storyline... im just not sure as to how many dedicated players you will have.

./sigh...

Why did i quit everquest?......... because i wanted my life back..... and i tell you all, life is very good indeed. You would be suprised how many more friends you get... when you dont spend all of your time talking with the only 4 people you know who play eq... and when you are doing things.. thinking about eq...
I beat eq... i gave up my crack addiction, and now i laugh about it when i go into eb and talk to the workers... its a good laugh... i beat their 13$ a month system.... those bastids...

Winter's Roar doesn't use this system anymore as Wiz has made true zonepoints work like he wants to.
