New Server

Look for a new server. Specs
Dual 2.0 gig P4 xeon
1 gig ram
1.5 up and downstream sdsl line

I am wondering how many people the server can handle?

probably 64. bandwidth isn't a limiting factor as much as cpu power and running a system such as yours 64 would be possible. you could probably run 2 servers on the same machine as well. one modded and one standard. hyperthreading really helps . Good luck with you server

Thanks, and be sure the questions will keep on coming.

Well it's up, I was just wondering what setting most people like. Esp the harm to other players. I am sure there is a tug of war between people who like to kill noobs just for the sheer nastiness of it and peopl who like the realism. I have it set so we can't hurt eachother, let me know if I should change it to make it more fun.

Just an FYI, my server and bandwidth can handle 100 players. The problem I keep encountering is FLServer seems to freak out around 50 players. My advice is to keep it at 45 players until the patch hits.

At 768k upstream, I am only useing about 300k upstream for 45 players.
3.06 ghz Hyperthreaded w/ 1gb DDR400, only using 120mb Ram and 50% CPU for 45 players

Bigcountry...try keeping PK off the server for a while and see if you get a lot of traffic. Most servers (especially the big ones like this) have player killing on and most have complaints of people getting toasted by established players all the time.

Might be nice to have a larger server without PK turned on for change. You can always change it with a simple reboot.
