It's all about upload.

It amazes me to be honest that people have a ADSL/CM with 8mbit/256 and think for some mad reason they can host more - online games speak Both Ways - so they will hit a limit of the server sending commands out to the clients.

Best idea is get one person to log on the server (remote) and find out how much bandwidth one person is using (both up and down) and see how many you can multiply that into for the max people you can host.

amd or intel? if it's intel.. you can use hyperthreading and have 2 servers going same time.. haha...

1M 2M 4M 1000M doesn't matter.. it depends on upload speed. I think most people have 256kbps. that's about 30k/s and you can say 30 people avg...

IF ALL 30 people gather together for a hunt, you will need more... you get the idea... same if 1 person hunting tons of mobs on 1 screen.

Mobile phones are two slow and don't have fast or enough memory.

What phone has 2GB of flash memory.

Then there's the whole issue of them actually working with the o/s.

Sorry jesus.

I am not Jesus, and you have nothing to be sorry about.

Now that I think of it, a mobile might have an SD slot or something, but that still leaves the issue of compadibility and processing power/ram.
well done jebus, u act like him,

n yes its a mobile phone, well done on gettin that..

( awaits a warning for makin my option ) *yawn*
