Emu New, 2 General Server Questions

[Uleat]

You'll likely find that any server which has an UP status can be logged into.

Some servers may require custom files..but, you'll need to visit their website for more information in those cases.

Most servers are based on the default PEQ release database - which is in the post-GoD stage. (Some older servers may still be running an older database.)

There's no real answer that can be given without digging through old posts or having the servers admins themselves speak up.

If you use Akkadius's installer script, it will install everything that you need to host a server. All that you need to do is supply the client.

You can host off of your LAN address and bypass the need to connect to the public login server (there is an optional login server binary.)

Even if we do things more efficiently than live servers, we will never be as 'reliable' as live due to our systems being developed on observed
behavior rather than actual programming code. There's a lot of guess work that we have to do, as well as data collection, that all goes into
developing our server systems.

That being said, the servers are extremely stable and support most features that live does.

You will need one of the supported clients to play. Live-patched clients are probably not going to work - even if it is "RoF."

Our servers do not 'register' key codes..so, multiple computers can use the same 'key.'

Supported client downloads are relatively easy to find.

(Not sure on the UI files..maybe? Back-up copies of your client are extremely advised.)
