Does anyone know if any mud hosting services are familiar (at all) with =
the
various UO server-emulators available? Seems like every private shard =
out
there is running on someone's home PC, but lots more people (I imagine) =
would
like to run them, if there were a hosting service that could accommodate
them.
And yeah, it takes about 600 MB for the mapfiles and such, but a person =
could
have multiple shards sharing the same mapfiles, since they are read-only.=

The emulators themselves are quite a bit smaller. Our 'worldfile' is =
quite a
bit smaller than most mud's, I think. And we're running with something =
like
64 RAM on a P200, 30+ users before there's any noticeable lag (ADSL
connection). I look at most mud hosting service's packages and think =
their
upper-end packages could EASILY handle a UOemulator. And if they shared =
the
main, read-only files between multiple shards, their lower-end packages =
could
do it, too.
