[Share] How many players can you hold?

[fastelf]

Info is wrong.. Running at the moment a server with 1Mbit upload...

Traffic is 50 kByte/Sec with 75-80 players online...
But as soon you have an event or something where many people are at the same place my traffic upload goes to100+ kByte/Sec and everyone gets lag bacause of the limited upload speed...

I'll admit it lags when you have more players in one area, but if your kb/sec goes from 50 to 100 in an event.. shouldn't that techniqally be better and lower the lag?

I need to get more players onto the server so i can test just how many people i can hold.. if i can truely hold 500 with no lag, i'd just make smaller events but more often events..

Ram.
Ram has almost all to do with it..
DON'T try and play when there are more then 50 players online.. you WILL lag. (When you lag, They lag)
Even with the beastly computer.

Hey, well ive seen loads and loads of people asking how many people can their server hold etc. Well im making this thread to sum it up, if there are any errors feel free to PM or comment me to adjust

Use this to find your computers spec easily: Click here
Use this site to find out your upload/download speed: Click here also

Note: hosting a site using wamp etc may affect this. Also this is an estimate, if u have realy bad comp specs but good internet it will be different for you.

There is a reason why I don't use my personal computer to host my server.

Soularis if it was actually 100mb it probs would almost manage that

@fastelf:

That's true but it needs more then 100kB/Sec which I do not have ;P

@Vivoxity:

Not totaly true, I run on a dedicated server which has 4GB ram, that's enough for 500+ players... And with ~1000 players it uses only about 1.5GB ram...

[b!atch]

Erm, honey?.. 2d that is... i got 2530 down, but only 370 up.. if you have a program that can decrease my down but increase my up i would liek.. very much like it;P. if u have 1 with crack could u send it in a pm? thx alot

[chronic7]

I can hold around 200 players easy... Never went over it yet but we had minimal lag at 200 players on my dedicated.

Intel 2.4 dual core, 2 gigs of ram, 1000mbps connection

[2dgreengiant]

i don't think you can increase our upload speed and decrease download speed :P

[b!atch]

You seem to have no idea what your talking about

Thats a joke right?
The ascent server client takes up 512mbs just running empty.
No one believe this thread.
