Well I'm not doubting that wargod is or isn't running 20-35 servers full.But I do lean more towards they aren't full.I'm not flaming or anything like that but the reason I say this is because I have a dual xeon 3.2 with 4 gigs of ram on a 100mbit backbone connection,and I can only run 2-18 player pubs,1-12 player pub,2-20 person pubs.and 1-12 player private.So we are talking about 100 player spots on that box.At any given time only 88 of those spots are used due to one server being a private for matches.Right now those servers are sitting at 16/12/9/8/0/0/0 and I'm running at 13% cpu.At full load with all those servers full it can range up as high as 65% depending on maps ect.So I can say just from my general knowledge there is no way you can run upwards of more than 10 small 12 player servers on a dual 2.8.You woul really be pushing it then.
What you are saying is you run 20 servers.Thats great about 5 years ago when I got started messing with servers I though wow it would be great to have my own box and run 100 servers!SO 3 years ago I got my own box.The first thing I thought,"I got a dual xeon I can run 40 server or more!" so I started up like 20 servers.The servers that where getting people they said we great servers no lag ect.But as my gaming community got bigger and people found out about the other servers and friends of friends started playing the box got laggy.I found out a dual xeon on its best day can only manage about 5-6 good full 16-18 player servers.Thats its max.A dual 3.2 you may manage to get one more squeezed in there but I doubt it.As I only can run 6 public full servers and one private off of it.Anyways thats my $.02 cents.And I didn't flame you nor threaten to DDOS you or whatever mine was an intelligent arguement.Now prove me wrong.
