Sure... I run the Dark Times server.
These are my server specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
512MB DDR333 RAM
Windows XP Pro
3 T1' dedicated lines
My server has only crashed 3 times.... all due to my ignorance. I set the max connections to high and that crashed the server due to the Server just now being able to keep up with it. I have since lowered the max connections from 128 to 40..then down to 36. The third time it crashed was due to power failure..someone experimented on the effects of beer on an electrical outlet for some reason... Other than that i hve had no problems with player acoutns or anything. And most people tend to come back and play more on the server.
I don't know if this has anything to do about it, but i do do regular reboots and player account backups so that people don't loose anything of that much. I also have players report when they believe someone is cheating, then post the suspects name in the news, and give them 48 hours to show that they aren't cheating. This usually leads to a few things. 1 the palyer never comes back, 2 the player clears there name, or 3 the palyer is banned.... Either way it seems to be a good wa to keep cheating down. Let's see....what else do i do.... when server laod s are low, i jump on the server and play some to check out whats going on and to help peeps out.... Yeah..i guess thats it....if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
FYI: I'm not the one who experimented with the beer
