Yup population has been great. So great in fact I was forced to move up to a newer version of eqemu to help keep things stable with more players.
Status update: We are pretty far in to Velious now. The remaining feats that need to be accomplished are kill all 4 warders (killed Tuk last night) and Vulaak (rest of ntov has been cleared).
I won't let Luclin come out for at least 1 month from now since I really like Velious. I think it is the best part of the game. In one month or when Vulak and the remaining warders have been killed (whichever comes last) we will move on to Luclin.
I also put in place a cap of 3 characters per IP to make room for more players. Bandwidth should support ~60-75 connections so I want to be sure that boxing does not keep new people from being able to play. If you have a special requirement such as room mates/family, send me a pm here or on our board and I will work with you.
Fiber will be in my area some time in the spring. I plan to upgrade to that ASAP. In my area, anywhere from 2mb - 20mb up should be possible. I will take whatever the max is that is still economical. I have already upgraded the memory in the machine, and as always, remain committed to any upgrades that are needed as we grow.
