players lding

[dmal0807]

I have a p4 2.6 ghz 768 mb of ram on cable connection and when i'm looking through my zones.exe i see a lot of player lds is there anything i can do lessen the lds

also i'm only running 10 zone servers with about 15 people on

What server was this?

Not really. I run an AMD 1800 with 512 ram on ADSL (approx 20k/s upload)

I run 7 zone servers, and at peak have had 25 people logged on.

While I also ran EQ logged into my own server on the same PC.

I sincerely doubt hardware/bandwidth is the issue.

I'm 99% sure that you were the only one, then, who would've had a playable connection. If it is nearly impossible to play eq over a 28.8, then I sincerely doubt that the 6 kbps you were providing per player was enough to be fun.

Not to mention the problems people would have if there were 25 people in 25 different zones, being as you only have 7 running... But, yes, the bandwidth IS an issue when you get that many people on your server, with 128 upload.
