First thank you for this release. Its tuff going for me in PWI as I really dont have the real money to get where I want in the game and this gives me a chance to do things I probaly will never do in the official release. But I will still play the official have alot of friends there. But to my comments.
Auto pathing:
Not sure if anyone noticed (easter egg?) but there might not be auto pathing but if you know the general area where you need to go open map then zoom in to where you need to go. Press and hold Control key and left click on the spot, you will be teleported there. Be mindfull of where you tele to as you might end up under a building or steps like i did a few times.
Question: Bandwith and memory usage.
One question I do have and maybe I did not search enough on this site, but what is the general guidlines on bandwith per connection. One friend told me it might be as much as 32kbit per connection another told me lower. If its 32k that will limit me to maybe 20 connections tops at one time and I much rather host this on my own pc than put it in the cloud. I prefer direct managment of my pc's
Running this in a VM pulls about 1.5gig's of memory for the main map and a few others when they are loaded at the same time. I am building a server just to host this nativaly (not in a vm) How much memory does this beast need to run with all maps loaded?
Gold or auto filling of gold in AH:
What I am thinking of doing when I have my setup ready for production is this. Change the default rate for gold (900k for default in this release) to 1 coin. Then use the web tool to deposite x amount of Gold into your GM acc or other GM's account if you have several GM's(700k Gold in my test vm in this case). Change the Gold rate to what you seem that is fair. Then load up Gold in the Gold auction for same price and you and other GM's can check it periodicly to refill it. I am sure 700k Gold will take a while to use up. Going one step further move the add gold script to the local only web server so the server admin is the only one that can buy gold through the site at 1 coin then put in the auction.
Bug maybe?:
I noticed when I bought gold with the web page I used an alt char's coin to get the gold. But when I logged in coin was gone and gold was not there. So by hunch I logged into the main char and sure enough the gold was there. This might be by design and not much of a bug or just UB(undefined behavor
).
Again thank you for this release. The install is flawless and game runs so nice. The time and effort you put in this game shows.
