I dont know that I agree with that, mysql is pretty liteweight, and after the initial load into sharemem, access to the database *should* be relatively infrequent.. In dev's defense though, I've never really let alot of people onto my development server though so I might be talking outta my butt.. In development I tend to not run more than 5 zones or so for testing.

The 0.5.2 release has several very significant changes from an architectural perspective, and bugfixes, that once again, *should* significantly reduce CPU usage and memory usage, and improve on connectivity. Hopefully this means you'll be able to run alot more zones per machine.
Once we release, I'll be very eager to hear the communities results.

While mysql might be lite...the servers themselves arent...so under GREAT load it will cause more lag as the pc has to fight mysql and eqemu zones/world for cpu time.

Even with most loaded to sharemem, not all is. Logs goto the DB every time somone logs in ect.

Less is more on zone/world servers.

For info : I make mysql 4 run on a pentium 200, with 48 Mo Ram, under linux, connected via a 100mbits switch. It sources tmcs's DB in less time than on my P3 600 under win2k and easyphp and I use it for some other intensive DB softwares. This is working pretty good and unload the cpu servers of the Db task. That kind of pc costs... lets say the price of the hard disk. I don't know if it would be powerfull enough to handle an eqemu server with lots of players tho, anyway, unless during dumps/restore, i never overload it because it's able to deliver query results more fastly than the network can accept them (unless of very tormented queries, which is not the case in eqemu).

Why is EQemu so resource hungry? Is the traffic that much greater than UO? There's a RunUO server out there that quite consistantly breaks 1000 players on weekends and some 700 normally. I would have thought that EQ emulators would be similar.

AI, primarily. UO AI is absolute junk.

Your sig doesn't work unless we have manually typed in the geocities page and have it in our cache.

Host it at a real host if you want us to see it. Geocities doesn't allow remote links to their images.

Sorry but no one runs servers for guildwars but myself, image, and MAYBE LethalEncounter. For one simple reason, to host you need access to the DB. and NO ONE but the formentioned people get access to my db.

Thank you for the offer tho
