One thing in particular that I noticed in 0.4.4 was that every client was sending out a position packet to every other client in the zone every 0.25 seconds - in addition to sending it out whenever a client moves. The position packet was only 18 bytes, but with the overhead of all packet headers and their ACK responses (didn't check if this packet had an ACK), that's quite a bit of bandwidth.
The new algorithm in 0.5.0 is still being fine tuned, but right now, it only sends out a position update when someone moves. In conjunction with the compression of larger packets, I think this will significantly cut down on bandwidth requirements.
As far as RAM requirements go - I think people that get more than 1gb for their home machines are crazy  What kind of applications are you people using that eat up that much memory?! |
Well actul;y I have 2 pc's with 1.25 :P The reason was I ran a Helbreath Server and Well ever hear of Copyright :P well so I had to end that few days ago but at most time I had 200+ players place at once.. I had 2 servers to run here at home I was bored during summer so I made this server.. Now that I see I can run EQ Server I wanted give it a shot.. Even tho I never have played it heh.. I'm just the kind who likes running servers for others editing and playing around.. Tho you find I like to run it legit.. I'm hoping every item gets it's own code if so I hope a few of us can make a dupe snifer code.. So if 2 items have same code we know it's a dupe thats what we did for helbreath
.. I know this be little easy as Helbreath 2.19 ran on ASCII101 :P But I have some web experiece with Sql Databases and I'm hoping this be sucsess and your the guys that are doing the great work programing it... Amazing tho Helbreath took about 20-30 kb/s download and about 30-40kb/s upload for little over 200 people at once lol.. Bandwidth Friendly
Good luck
