Just out of interest, how many people can the server handle before it runs into problems? Could it handle 2000 like the old live servers did?

While we're shooting questions at server staff: how's the backup situation in case a meteor hits your house? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Old live servers were made in 1999.. Compare possible technologies available then and now. HUGE difference.. I know I first played EQ on a Dual PPro/200. That was somewhat decent hardware for its time.

Now, dedicated hosted servers doing serious stuff should be running quad cores or core i7's.
