Also installed Windows server 2008 enterprise.... is this sufficient for private server? What would be an ideal internet connection speed ( within reason) thanks

The hardware is enough.
But you need a really fast internet connection, that the client connection is stable for much players.

My recommendation is to have a very FAST internet connection.
- Don't try to run the server on a 30mbps download and 2.5mbps upload speed. (Unless, you want only a small amount of people such as 5-10 to play at once)
- Try running server with a V.P.S that offers you 50+mbps download and a good upload speed thats about or above 10mbps. (That way, more players can play on your private server with minimum lags. ^^)
- If you want alot of players to connect to your private server for public use for E*PvP, then you will need a dedicated V.P.S server with sufficient speed to run your private server. (Note, a V.P.S does cost a bit of money. ^^)
- Hardware is good, but like Requi said, "you need a really fast internet connection so that each "player" can connect to your server". ^^".
Hope I helped. :)

If he wants only friends and family to play on it, then a good internet speed about 15mbps download and 1.1mbps upload is good. ^^Quote:

Sorry, I didn't really read the thread too well so dumb me on my side. :P
For only friends and family depends on the amount of people. If only about 5-10 then run off of your computer with your standard internet speed. ^^"
More people about 20-30 requires more internet speed but for just friends and family you can use your standard internet speed. xD
Also, please take a speed test using: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] to check your internet speed. ^^ Then reply to the thread with your internet download and upload speed. ^^ Hope I helped. ;)

What about.50000 kbps / 15000 kbps Is sufficient?

Requi#8
Not enough. Fairly not enough. You need something like 1Gps as I know.
Just buy a Root Server (not cheap)

Requi#10
A root server is a dedicated server afaik.

Requi, mind telling me the answer to this question?Quote:
How much does a "root" server cost a month, in usd? A year? And what are the requirements to config the root server to run the emulator for the private server?
Just curious is all! ^^

Yeah OVH is the best, but they no more make 16GB Server, it's the old generation ..''Kimsufi"
They changed their prices ..
Now for having a I5, 32GB, GigaEthernet = 80 $ In OVH Canada, so appr = 56 Euros.
Without the Windows License who will cost you 20 E each month.
After that .. Small server from Kimsufi and from OVH France are all Sold out ..
