Server is really unstable
Okay I have only two players, me and my friend. I really have not had any problems and I do play from work on occasion, but nothing heavy duty because I play on a laptop.
I guess the server has been running about 3 months now with not much of a problem. I can seem to play all day long with no problems, but I do not do much for boss mobs. Now anytime my friend seems to be fighting some big, bad boss mob he has stability issues. Back when I was running a Windows server I could sometimes see his zone give a big error and go down, so I switched it to Linux last week hoping it would improve. It still was giving him issues so I purchased two copies of SoF thinking it could be his client, but the same thing. It always seems to do it when he is in some long ass battle though. I never hear him say it does it when he is just walking or something. Now the only real difference is that I am in my house and he is in another town, but we are on the same ISP.
As far as the server hardware it is all top notch, running in a VM and the VM's on this server never, ever give me problems so I know it is not that. Plus I can seem to play and leave my guy logged in with no issues.
I need ideas here though, he is getting really frustrated not being able to do any major raiding of fear of losing the battles.
