Let me know how that works out for you. Considerable effort went into the overhaul of various systems from EQEmu Base that prevented zones from having more than even 100 players at the same time in the early life of the server.

2000 players might be possible if it's spread out enough to a max of 50-100 players per zone, but I'd be very interested to see how eqemu servers are handling 300+ players with simultaneous raids in a zone like Temple of Veeshan. IIRC, they still have SQL Queries running in the main thread.

I could be wrong though and their code has improved much since then, but I remembered a conversation with Akkadius when they split up the player profile column, telling him they really need to DBASync their queries out of the main thread, and he said it wasn't necessary.
why not share the superior codebase?
