ok, you can setup a server for your wife and kids to play on yes.. what lies is the question how big you want it.. keep in mind youll be running a zserver on this machine, and world.exe.. and if you run a eq client and play on the same machine as well.. also how many zones you want up..
its kinda iffy.. also.. what net connection you have? or are you using mini login.. which isnt working totally correct right now..
then theres .. where we are not up to patch to live yet...... so if you are patched.. yer sol on that part
the other part is yes. eqemu is pretty current as far as zones are concern and items.. due to the devs hard work.. and there are always new things coming out....
but take this from someone who knows.. it takes a whole lot of time and can take money to set up and run a server..
Heres my suggestion .. and maybe it may not be altogether good for you.. but i would suggest maybe playing on one of the already servers that is put together and running.. try it out.. see if it works for you and your family.. then decide if you want to still do this....
I run a server myself.. but its closed so i can learn.. and its been rough so far.. but im trying my best because outside of trying and digging answers from people who already knows.. its been really fun and chanelleging..
bottom line is i think you have an ok setup.. for what you are asking to do... but to house more than 3-4 to 20 40 better think of a better solution..
Me , if i ever go live.. i will have to buy a dedicated server. that can handle the bandwidth so i can handle 20 -30 people.. but i dont want a huge server like S2k or WR..
