Need some Linux servers. Much more efficient. And no... Wine is not efficient.
You're welcome to install some crazy server flavour of Windows on your hardware, see how it performs, and compare that to how Wine performs. Don't forget to tell us the numbers.
I not see the advantage of using an emulator to use a different system especially for game servers that requires a lot of resources,"Wine" is not made for gaming at the base,more for software,but its i do not think linux administrators like me to agree to pass on this system, everyone will tell you there is a real gain in performance and stability on Linux systems, we are still waiting linux binaries,we never change for windows especially for game servers.
In other news: Still no news. Awesome ! :/
As you say : AWESOME
The developers could at least say if it's planned even though it's not for now ! I will not rent a Windows server for 6 months if the Linux server is provided in 2 months !!!
My linux with windows VPS experiment failed.
Got it running smoothly up to 35 people and then pings were through the roof.
My set up is only a partial clan backed thing, but i would imagine a lot of clans would run linux boxes and would be staying out of this game until the linus issue is resolved.
Clans kept RO1 going for as long as it did and will drag this one along I reckon.
Mighty strange behaviour to remain so silent on the issue but i guess they have other priorities like ranking and sound issues.
