Don't think I've ever seen a windows box with the problem of "the server didn't reboot correctly" but we seem to have that problem on this server and in that joke video running apache you posted o_O

Might be because no Windows server could take a 350 toon load and PEQ is the test bed server for both the DB and Emu code, thus the reason it reboots nightly to load new versions of both.

This statement is false. There have been windows based eqemu servers with over 300 players online before. It was running two quad core 1.8ghz cpu's. The cpu load on the server was next to nothing and could hold tons more players. Every time I research some outrageous linux claim, it always turns out to be false. Like how people used to say it's better for laptops then people actually measure winblows vs linux distro power consumption and windows won rofl.

EZ Server is Windows based.

All I know is that SoA used to be windows based, and we would crash the server AE pulling. When they switched it to Linux, that pretty much stopped.

Day 2 of yet another epic peq phailure.

I need mah crack!

&& in case you havn't noticed, each time the server goes down we are losing more players to other servers, like the EZ server(!!!?) and worse yet, p1999 .. Sadly I can even name a few people that are gone for good..

I understand to you this may be an important time to ask for donates, but you said yourself the current set up is already more than enough for now.
Why so much downtime and so frequent? There are other servers out there with far less equipment and bandwidth and yet they have longer up times, some only reset once a week, if that, and with roughly the same player load.

I'm not knocking the need for new server upgrades by any means, I'm just wondering how or why PEQ seems to have poor reliability with its current set up, or rather if the problem is the ISP/Host, why continue to subscribe to their services if they are so incompetent.
