few newbie questions

hey all
thanks to billza for sending me this link to a dam nice Uo emu
i have a few newbie questions but i better give u some back ground first.

the server i am hopeing to run a major server for UO on the following specs

1gig p3
1 gig of ram (133 SDRAM)
20 gig hd (7200RPM)
100mb sec connection (duel up/down)

with only 150 gig of bandwith per month.

questions.
1. what is the current ratio for player to kb's
2. Will a RunUO need resetting every 24 hours up time?
3. what size generall is the save world?
4. Will a RunU server need to have a very indepth report on telling people how to connect?
5. Will the new scripting lan be has good has POL? and will it allow for 100 customination?


hope u can help me on these questions

thanks
Gaz

1) That depends. A high estimate in a crowded area could be 1-2kbps. For one person out in the woods, it will likely be much less. When I run local stress tests with 250 clients on screen in constant motion, it is just a bit higher than 1kbps.
2) Not a requirement, but perhaps good measure.
3) About 64 bytes for each item. This could likely be optimized.
4) I wouldn't expect so.
5) I don't know POL, so I cannot compare. However, I would imagine somewhere inbetween Sphere and POL (closer to POL).
