Uhm, with 16 GB you can keep like ~2000 players online, but no CABAL server besides Elite ever got close to that number, usually a server has ~500 ppl online, at max, so you should get 4/6~ GB of RAM at beggining.

500 users online can be a good game? or need more players?

because in L2 500 players it's not enough for so big map.

CABAL doesnt have big maps, it has very small maps, a 500 player population is good enough.

The RAM is important but not only.

If you have a good bandwidth on the server you can hold a lot of players,
example: 1gb/s bandwidth + 8GB RAM + DUAL or QUAD CORE CPU = 2000 Players without much lag, BTW if you got a awseome server but crap connection just forget...

My calculations are about 1GB / 100 Players. But we had some sort of odd memoryleak in our channel service, so I can't really tell you how reliable this is. Couldn't track it down, still having nightmares about it

You should start with 8GB (preferable more, due to virtualisation overhead), if you run both servers on one machine, or 2 GB for the database server and 4 GB for the game- and loginserver.

That'd be the minimum I'd say.

I recommend 4GB for the DB Server and 8GB for the gameserver, if you're expecting 500 active users.

As Deluxor already pointed out, bandwith is way more important than RAM.
If you're running a 2 Server configuration, make sure both of them are in the same datacenter. 100Mb/s should be fine for the beginning. Try to get a flat data plan, avoid volume data plans, to keep your budget safe (DDoS, buggy Web Frontend, etc).
Ask for a dedicated link between the two servers to minimize bogus WAN traffic.

i think you are litle exagerated ... really 4 gb ram only for db? -.-

Yes,because db recieve and transmits lot of data.
Think only about the displaying of a webpage for 100 users/day
