I came across a problem with my server yesterday and that was I couldn't have more than five different zones up at once. That worked out fine and didn't show up as a problem until the players began to spread apart in level a bit.
I went into the database with Navicat and changed the the launcher table to name: zone dynamics: 20 (up from 5). A few hours later I did a server reboot to apply some changes to items added as quest rewards and nobody was able to get on except for me.
I played for a few hours last night with nobody logging on, which was a little odd but not unusual since it's only a week old. I checked the forums today when I woke up and saw this:
"Ever since re boot every time i try to get on it goes to char screen, i click enter world, it freezes up and says "server not respond" then "you have been disconnected" none of the other servers are doing it. Sucks cause i like this server."
I immediately changed the dynamics back to 5 and not even 5 minutes later I have six players online and I need to find a fix.
I searched the updated wiki install guide and found what "MAY" have been a problem.
eqemu_config.ini :
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->
<!--<address>trinityeqemu.dyndns.org</address>
<!--<localaddress>192.168.1.100</localaddress>
I noticed the comment marker in red was missing.
For some reason I also recal reading a while back something about max 5 zones being allowed. I found this

Everything has been going fine. I've been able to find the answer to any questions regarding quests, items, etc.. here on the boards and have a good bit of npc's added to the world and a handful of quests. I just hit this problem yesterday and I didnt' want to do a trial and error things because of the people that are playing on the server lol. I wanted to get some input first then lock it down if need be when I go to apply the changes.
Thanks for any help in advance.
