You can't have people in 6 different zones with 5 zone servers. When someone tries to zone to the 6th different zone, they will be unable to until one of the other 5 logoff, or go to a zone with another person in, so a zone server becomes free to boot up a new zone.

To get around this just edit your load5zones.bat and add more zones like so:

Code:

start zone . &lt;IP> 8000 &lt;IP>

start zone . &lt;IP> 8001 &lt;IP>

And so on, depending on how many zones you want.. Every line you type in, in this manner represents a new dynamic zone that will start when you run the load5zones.bat file...

If you were wanting static zones, like say East Commons, then you would type as follows:

Code:

start zone ecommons <IP> 8000 <IP>

Notice you MUST use the short name for the zone that you want to be static...
