RunUO and Multiple Servers - RunUO

x23 · 09-27-2004, 04:01 AM

Is it possible (with RunUO) to split up the game world similarly to how OSI has done it,
on to different servers ?

Britain == server1
Moonglow == server2

etc ?

This topic has been discussed over and over again, and it has been explained that it is just not a pratical idea with runuo. You will never attract enough players to make this worthwhile.

UOGamers (the official runuo server) is a perfect example of this. It has had well over one thousand players on at a time, and it has no need to split itself between servers.

If you feel your questions are unanswered, please do a search as others have gone into more details then I do here.

Sure it's practical. They do have three different servers out now. UOGamers: Rebirth, UOGamers: Hybrid, and UO(Gamers?) Demise. They could have the login server on one PC (IP) then connect to the game servers from there.

Actually, if OSI had been well programmed as RunUO it probably wouldn't need to be splitted in sub-servers (the server lines).

Not true. As shown by Hybrid and UODreams and other 1000+ user shards, there IS a noticable slowdown (Save times are a bitch). They'd still, for the amount of users they have, need multiple machines, most likely.

That's not what he's referring to:

You cannot do this with RunUO, so don't waste your time.

99.999% of the shards don't have several servers, 99.999% don't have the players to use the resources of several servers.

So making RunUO work with server lines, would be both pointless to a point, and would require basicly a entire rewrite of the core which if UO Gamers had 1400 players 2 years ago might have been worth, but we didn't and thus its to late.

If you want to create your emulator that can do this, feel free

copy your serverlist, change the shard name, keep the same ip. change the name of the serverlist, to like ServerList1 or something, i saw this done once
