I don't have any real stats. The server we had gave us 2000GB/month and we never used it all, but we didn't get any reports saying what we used.

May I ask if that optimization is only in the S2k server or did it made it into the official EQEmu code too?
I put what I could into EQEmu. The biggest would be the use of string numbers instead of literal strings. In the string file are commonly used phrases. Instead of sending a several byte text line, you can send the number to the same text in the string file so the client uses that instead. From the player point of view it appears the same, but the server sends fewer bytes in packets. This can add up over time.

Along the same line, I went in and reduced the range of some messages like in /say, emotes, spell messages, battle messages, etc. A smaller range can reduce the number of packets sent to players because they are outside the smaller range. It can also reduce spam messages, by reducing the range of spell messages and battle messages for example. This didn't go into EQEmu, since it is intended to be like live.

Long Long LONG time visitor and player of eqemu and specifically s2k. Scorp please bring it back. I voted yes and I was also one of the original donators and continued to donated after I stopped playing. I will definitely donate if it looks like this is going to really happen.

YES! Based on this poll, it really is going to happen. It'll be great to see you and all the other "old timers" back as well as new players. We will bring it back as soon as we have enough donations. So the server will be up soon.
