drop rate

[unknownerrors]

for sure it the drop rate can be moded, you just have to be able to understand the lingo.. which i'm working on.. its like learning spanish. verbs and nouns, pish out the window.

just by change tho.

i want to boot a set few zones when i start my server, say ten zones that mobs will spawn and path around in just like any live server zone would, just to have them rdy for the chance some one might pop into one of them.. any ideas on how i would go about that?

You mean like have 10 zones that are always running, not dynamic? That'd be "static". I've config'd this easily using the EQEmu Management web interface. You can manually set stuff up in the launcher_zones table, too. Use the zone shortname and your static port # (ie., 7100, 7101,...7110)

a EQlive server, doesn't use any dynamic zone, well i think instanace zone would be but that a whole nother ball of wax.. what kind of system resources would it take to boot all world zones static?

I'd think that with as many zones as the game now has, I'd bet most of them run dynamic now, with a few exceptions such as PoK and the hot-spot leveling zones of whatever expansion is current.

My server is running 2 launchers. 1 that is managing 10 dynamic zones, and one that manages 51 static old world zones. thats with 1gig ram and on an amd 1.4ghz athalon.

that can't be, too many zones have timed spawns that wouldn't be tracked by dynamic, or i may be mistaken all together. lets say umbral plains.. has RC on a timed spawn, fireshower, icequake, and that big space cow.. with the Aoe stun. if that zone weren't static would the timer on those spawns still be counting?

i wonder if i could run a multi system for the zones say three computers, each with there own set of static zones. one computer holding the login server and a some zones, anytime someone jumped into a zone it would check which computer on the network that zone is at and kick the connection there.
