  • 100mb/s pipe
Like I think I've said before, at 150 simultaneous players we're not even hitting 20% CPU usage, so this box is more than what you need for anything EQEmu-related.
depend of the use you do and of the version of EQemu you are using. Sure if you use EQemu (with maybe only basic contents/additions that modify the comportment) this is ok

but with EQA's plan .... :twisted:
Unless you plan to severely de-optimize EQEmu, a single computer will easily handle everything EQEmu can try to do up to 900-1000 clients.

I don't claim to know EQA's no doubt very leet plan, but yeah, considering WR is the server that has had the greatest potential resource-eating done to it so far (149 players online simultaneously on one occasion, 75 people in one zone on another) I don't see how you could possibly eat up the resources of two machines, let alone five, without some seriously sloppy coding.
that was what alkora was doing a past year ago
