I'd never even heard of "Eqemulauncher.exe" until this post. Does anyone else here use that launcher? I just run the default Titanium install and have a shortcut to launch titanium.bat.
On to the topic - people frequently have issues where their ISP's routing table changes (usually temporarily) and they lose the ability to see servers on server select or fail to enter world. Have you ruled this out by attempting to tether to a hotspot or use a VPN?
As to your question about the servers' load - populations of 1500-2000+ were common back in '99-2000. The devs bought new hardware in 2019 for the purpose of supporting green. I can't imagine how they'd manage to procure a server that's less capable than one from 20 years ago. My personal one runs on a ~15 year old box (PE 2950) and with every zone instance running (every zone from titanium mind - not just limited to velious) it's at under 10% cpu and 25% memory utilization. This includes the overhead introduced by esxi, and storage delays because I'm usually running it with an active snapshot because I'm in the process of breaking something.
