Server Communications?

Problem is, we run this on a DSl line with max of 1.5megs upload. That is roughly 180kbyte/sec upload for us.

We average about 50 ppl online during peak time, rather more (70 this sunday). Each user taking about 2-3 Kbytes and the line is already in good use. If 15 people raid they use more than 2-3 kbytes/sec. These are just estimates.

Bottom line is, this doesn't leave us lots of bandwith for a Vent Server (or Teamspeak). So 15+ people using Vent and 70 people online = Lag.

Still looking into other possibilites like IRC or a Shoutbox.

Hmm i see, well perhaps maybe someone else would take the responsibility of running a vent server to free up space on the server?

I would but i use a lame dsl line as well and run a home network with 4 computers in my house

But just a thought.

the line is pretty steady and reliable tbh. we prolly can set up a ventrilo server and see if it affects the player experience at all. I doubt it will.
