WR future limited on the hardware?

[Therion]

Hail WR community, first of all kudos for the most amazing project that ever hit the internet.



Started playing last week and I noticed that every time the server has more than 250 players I just can't pass the server screen, and the same is happening with all my friends that started the game with me.

After the server selection it just closes the client and has a "eqgame.exe" error (unzipped the UI and the wrfix a several times) and it's just related to the server load I can always log in without a problem with less than 250 players on.

By now I would guess it's related to the server population as we never have this problem on the morning / weekdays.

I would like to suggest a new box (would be gladly donate for that) and suggest to separate the game zones between those boxes like the EQlive do (originally they had a computer for each 5-6 zones), splitting the players on the machines would help the game to handle all the newcommers and hopefully attract more donators.

Keep it up, you guys captured the feel of the original EQ that died in the hands of a greedy publisher.

Will gladly subscribe once I can play on the weekends.

They just split the server load between 2 boxes last week...

We're having some lag issues at the moment, this is not hardware related.

Sometimes when I load EQ I get that eqgame.exe has crashed thing. Just load it again.

may not apply but, when first trying WR i ran into errors posted here : http://www.wintersroar.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4202

after ID'n zone alarm as the issue I tried to manually configure the eq exe files for permissions... now i get eqgame errors when i reenable zonealarm and try to launch eq (wr)

still running an older version tho, to lazy to update... easier to disable and play..

I usually get eqclient crashes when I start to load into the character selection screen and then alt-tab out of eqwindows, doing something else - it doesn't always happen, but it never happens when I leave the eqwindows-application active during the loading procedure. Of course, that does not seem to be related to the active server population - but I haven't tested it regarding that aspect, so I couldn't say for sure.
