Thank you for the confidence! |
@John Adams psssh, that should run it no problem... What's your current desktop setup? Core 2? I need me at least a E6600, soonest I think...
While I haven't really checked too closely, it would appear that mysql plus the emu is not all that heavy of a load, or at least with my 5 zone load setup. It runs stably at around 400M used for mysql, emu stuff plus OS.
That said, I'd iagine that it'd be best to have a serving machine have at least 512M, likely preferably 768M just to be safe and soe FAST drives if planning on hosting more than 5 or so people. I'd expect that 1-3 could get away on the low end specs of 512M, whatever drives, and c. 500M cpu with a lite OS e.g. minimal linux or *BSD install.
I'll try experimenting sometime in the, hopefully, near future on my current setup if I can dig up some more RAM. (I think that I may be able to scavenge some from another machine that dates back to approx. the same age as my current server, but it may have all 32M modules which won't be helpful... I'm hoping that they're 64M or 128M...)
The 1G Athlon isn't going to get setup for a while, because no matter how I cut it, I'm going to have find/buy some PC100 or, preferably, PC133 RAM somewhere. (Trying to track down some reasonable prices, but I'll probably have to hit some tradeshows or swap meets or something for that...)
Also fixed a quest for cavedude the other day, the kaladim "going postal" quest... had a rather obvious bug, that I'm afraid to say that I overlooked several times until I ran the client in a window and notepad with the quest perl open next to it... d'oh dupe entrie. One w/o a spawn quest item line, and the second with the spawn quest item line, but a misspelling in the quest text... haven't had much time since then but I plan to go through more of the kaladim/butcherblood mtn quests as I go.)
