I thought I'd mention here that I'm upgrading the amount of RAM on my server. Whilst I doubt that this alone will stop all the problems with zoning and connecting and such, I do hope that it can help the ForEverQuest server somewhat.
I'm still looking into ways in which the LD issues and such can be resolved.
I also thought I'd mention, whilst I'm here, that I've set up a little placeholder website at
ForEverQuest.org. There is also a little PayPal donation button there, in case anyone is feeling generous and wants to help out towards server costs (which are currently paid in full by just me, at the moment!).
Thanks!
