I had a feeling you were running Vista. That is probably your biggest problem right there. Not because of the resource hogging that it does (which probably isn't helping), but because the emulator wasn't designed for Vista. Everyone I have heard of running the emulator on Vista has been plagued with problems. I highly suggest you try Windows XP if you are serious about running an emulator server and don't want to go to Linux since you are running a WoW Emu server as well.
Either way, it looks like there is quite a list of reasons for your zone instability issues. If you run on the recommended setup, it would perform much better.
PC with at least 1GB of RAM running Windows XP (or even better, Linux). And running on a wired LAN instead of Wireless will help connection issues considerably (I don't know if you are running wireless, but just stating that fact).
In other words, the original post about making the emulator crash less often isn't really relavant if you run it on the right system. This is all related to your particular setup and not the emu itself. That isn't to say that the emulator couldn't use improvements. It would be nice if it was fully compatible and more stable on any system, but without a large team working to get it that way, it isn't likely to happen soon.
And again, you should adjust your attitude a bit IMO. There really is no need for getting upset. No one ever said you have a shit laptop, but we are stating the facts and actually trying to give you real information about why you are seeing the issues you are. Would you rather we all lie and say your server setup is godly and that the emulator sucks ass at stability? I for one am trying to help you with good information, so being rude is uncalled for.
As for the other dispute going on with you and LordRathgil, it seems like you started that one, but he definitely could be taking the high road and just ignoring your comments.
I hate seeing threads get locked over stupid things like this. Especially if they have good information in them. Maybe someone else running their server on a laptop in the future will find this thread and get some good info out of it, but it is too bad they will have to see the drama as well. Getting a thread closed almost always sucks, because it doesn't allow issues to get resolved fully without starting a new one.
