[krusher]

Greetings All.

When Krusher's server was running i had 5 machines running the "world".

1. MySQL server was a dual PIII/600MHZ with 512 MB ram w/raid 5 .

2. The world server was a dual PIII 1GHZ w/512MB ram and an ide drive. ( Nothing special )

3. Zone servers. This is where i placed my best and fastest hardware. I ran 3 zone servers ea with Dual P4 2.8GHZ procs with 2 GB ram and fast ide drives.


FYI - All the servers were running RH9.0 with just a base install plus the dev stuff.

I found that this setup allowed approx 40 to 60 players in a zone at a time with just a little lagg.

The biggest factor in server performance that i found was the connection it was on. With Krushers server i ran it in my NOC with 2 DS3 for the backbone. I partitioned off a 4.5MB vlan that was dedicated for the "world".

Anyway. just thought you would like to know what my setup was. Hope it helps.
