You obviously didn't play "live" at launch then..

Many professional MMOs have had the same problem at launch (EQ and WoW are two great examples). I wouldn't spend an extra $1000 on hardware just to please people for the first week of the server's life.

edit: Check back in a week or two and see how the server's handling the load then.

Great server, Little laggy at times but thats understandable. Just can't play my best class of a warrior without a duel box :( I am just one of them people who like to level by them selfs to 50 kinda sad lol.

Well yeah this server is really promoting people to group together to even survive, sadly so many people don't even know how to ask a perfect stranger to group up they're so used to boxing.

Lag is understandable, you need a server to get funds, and need funds to get a server with good population. Hopefully it all matches up just right for you.

If your server doesn't have critics you're probably doing something wrong. :)

Just loaded this up to briefly check it out. My wife and I will be playing later tonight. we can't wait to try it out. now to decide what class to make as i want to do something totally different than when i played live. I'm looking forward to the slow exp and the enjoyment of playing the game without focusing only on being max level.

outstanding work!!

Thanks for the understanding guys.. I've had hundreds of people consistently trying to log on. I didn't know it would be this successful at launch.. so I'm trying to catch up with the demand.

This lag monster will be defeated!

Cheers
 

Where many have come before and failed - bogged down in development here or there - this server has overcome and continues to face the challenges.
Considering these epic challenges and the number of projects that have been grounded (many permanently) it is amazing to watch this server flourish and grow. The lag monster - the next greatest challenge this server shall have to address, may grow as the news of the success of the server grows. A great community has gathered and begun to rise from the ashes of a 16 expansion epic fail. I am both excited to be part of this community and support it's development.

Nilbog, I sent you a PM, from 'vilesyntax' on your forums (I think? lol). Those forums are pretty confusing... let me know if you got it.

Yup, responded a few minutes ago. Sorry, I'm currently getting enough PMs I wish I had a secretary :D

Got it... and I emailed your other dev.

server running on new temporary fast host, log in and see what you think!

No lag, zone in seconds...definitely great.

I hate all of you, this WHOLE weekend ive been going nuts, itching to play and I read this new no-lag post. I pray to god my discs come in the mail this Monday!!!

looks like this server has finaly proved false a long standing fear, that there is not enough people on Emu, to make server without multy-boxers!

Grats on getting 90+ REAL people on first night!

Im jealous too ... my discs are in the mail though ... this will be my first EQemu server
