Question about server machine and internet

Hello ragezoners.

I have a question.I made some speed test of my internet connection and the results are next:

Los Angeles USA - Ping 189 ms/// Down: 6 Mbs/// UP:7,79 Mbs

Rio de Janeiro - Brasil - Ping 240 ms/// Down: 11,86 Mbs/// UP: 2,77 Mbs

Rome-Italy -Ping 59 ms/// Down: 32 Mbs /// UP: 8,66 Mbs

Berlin-Germany -Ping 51 ms/// Down: 40,63 Mbs /// UP: 9,26 Mbs

Athens -Greece - Ping 77 ms/// Down 10,35 Mbs /// UP: 8,56 Mbs


My question is if a machine with amd dual core 3 Ghz and 4 Gb ram with this internet connection can handle website+server with 200 players.

You can find here http://forum.ragezone.com/search.php any info you need for hosting a muonline server.

i think you can handle more than 200 players..because players are depending on your uploading speed..if you have 1 mbs uploading speed 70 players can enter the game..1mbs up speed=70+ players without lag..

ok thx alot..so no problem if website on same machine?

yeah..thats not a problem =) try to do it.but if you will make it 24/7 online check the quality of your Machine.or just put a fan front of your machine so it wouldn`t gettin overheat.

ok thanx alot

welcome =)..glad that i help you.

I dont think so... If you have just 1 link with less then 10 Mbps upload, you can host without lags around 20, max. 30 players. Also, if you have linked connection (10 Mbps for 5 connects for example), its enough. But as I say, 1 link with less then 10 Mbps is not for 200+ players. One player needs about 256/512 kbps upload, it depends of version of your server (Season 6 needs better connection then Season 2 for example).

It will work with a lot of players!
Mu uses does not uses a lot of bandwidth , its using like 1kb/player of upload

Stop spreading false information, a player will never exceed 1.2 kb/s even in season6 high rates server. To be able to say something about a subject you must investigate that subject which I think you didn't. With 10mbps connection you can host without any problem more than 1000 players if the website is not on the same connection. Of course the connection have to be low ping else you can have 1000tbps connection but if you have >100ms ping be sure it will lag even with 2 players online.

i think jacubb just tryin to say what he really understand =) but nice try jacubb..i think you need to learn more..

Hmm.. Then why if I just try to run server on 2Mbps download and 0,3Mbps upload and when I have 5 player online, they have lags? So why? :)

jacubb..lag is not only can base on internet specifications.also on your machine specification..

and one more thing.ask also their internet connection maybe they got low net connection thats why they gettin lag..problems on game is not all your fault..sometimes players also..

Man, my PC has new Intel Core i7 with 4 cores, 6 GB RAM DDR3 and a lot of space on HDD, so hardware is not the problem. And their connection is more then 10Mbps download, so I really dont know, where was the problem, if 1 player need only 1kbps upload speed :thumbup: Try to explain me this :cool:

Your connection is laggy which is not same as low speed. Check your ping in the area from where your players come or try to profile the performances of your server to find the bottleneck(google that).

I researched a lot the networking of MU and I can tell you that a normal gameserver(not castle siege) will never spend more than 1.2kb/s(dl/up) on a players.

PS: there are some serverfiles that sux really hard and they cause lag even on very strong connection & server machine like ENC files.
