[discussion]What would you mind more in a machine server?

[OnFire™]

i will not refer to firewalls,ips etc....tell me what i must focus on what is more importantin server machine...please explain and why too :)

l2j or l2off

 

there is a HUGE difference between them in what resources are required, and in the case of l2off it all depends on your setup, and your target player count.

[Erol]

ALL.

[Intrepid]

if l2off we talk about potentially shit servers running under winshit so you need dual socket motherboard with 2 xeon or opteron for sure and 16gb memory...if we talk about l2j where you go with linux than you can go with 6gb memory and a quad core cpu(4gb ram can hold 5-600 player)

Sorry but that's incorrect... l2off doesn't require 16gb ram and will never use that much, you can host, and I have, 1000+ players on 8gb of ram without any problems.

L2Off as I said, all depends on your setup, if you plan to run everything from 1 PC including the SQL Server then it's all about Disc I/O, if you have low disk I/O speeds then your sql will lag and cause in-game item lag, which will kill any server.

well but i think we can agree on windows need more resource thats 1 thing also l2off is really really home made(because of its closed source workaround)you depend much more on your developing skills and lets be honest bad codes consume 10times more than good codes thats the same with java too but since its open source you rarely have that problem

Cpu%Ram..but all are serious..

all machines are Like a "packet" cant give 8gb ram and fail cpu..

but thats not true for internet eg 1gbit/sec inet and huge traffic limit can hold more player with 3gb ram than 100mbit/sec with small traffic limit and 6gb ram

I couldn't say either way about l2off vs l2j for resources, I haven't worked with l2j since c4, and as 99.8% of the l2off servers these days are plug-and-play dvampire cash-cow servers, developing skills don't enter into it anywhere lol

thats true

Offcourse you buy a PC with everything on it

you don't buy a pc with 2/3 missing parts :D

hmmm i thine first see the Hardware,Software and then the internet connection.

its not how big.. just how fast your internet connection is:p
