magnetaress and loramin thank you both very much!
and maybe that is the way to understand it then, for the sake of resources put each zone on its own server.
I always think of a server as one dedicated machine - but in today's market, is one rentable commercial server able to spin-up all 60-90 server-instances needed to host P1999?

yes u can run p99 emu in an amazon clould vm ez pz --- there used to be like a bit of physical network seperation between the authentication and zone servers for the sake of like physical security and having an actually seperated auth server so if one got comprimised it wasn't all on the same box i think that is still SoP. Entirely up to u tho... p.s. i'm way out of date/touch with all this stuff. just a big heads up to absolutely ignore everything i say
having actually different servers for each zone i think is what allowed zones to have like 100 connections without crashing the entire machine because its starts to get messy when one server is updating mob positions and checking line of site on 2000 clients among other things like cycling thru a spawn table etc.
