Running 2 emulators on 1 CPU, is it possible?

Each world server needs its own dedicated IP because it runs on port 9000. In theory if you had a block of IP addresses dedicated to you, you could have two ethernet cards in the server and dedicated a world server to each one. Otherwise your out of luck.

They would both need their own database as well, but they could run on the same mysql server, you don't want two emulators updating the same database, that could cause problems.

So I kinda guess to sum it all up, the only way you can get away with running two EQ servers is to have two IP address and two NIC's to use those IP's. You would have one server running off of X IP and Nic and the other on Y.

Now like rewired said. It is very possible to run another totaly different emu, like the WoW ones. The simple rule is that they must use a complete different set of ports as far as client connections go.

If the WoW emu using port 9000, your going to get conflicts like a WoW player getting sent to your EQ server, or visa versa.

But like I said, as far as the MySQL goes. It can take on connections all shape and size as long as they are set to go through port 3306 or whatever you designate it to be. Each server you run goes to that port, opens its respect (designated) database and and gets its information.

The only problem you may have regarding MySQL is that you may get too many incoming connections and some will be block. You can set this up to vary in the Instance Server Config to how ever many you plan to need.
