I guess he either boasting it or making up the number then ( ..or could be he forgot the actual number since it's been a while ) He did confirmed that he is using eAthena, and his server is Malaysian-based. The server name is DemonicRoseRO which sometimes referred to as Melaka RO or IceAge RO. It's very interesting to know that 30k concurrent connections are possible for non-commercial server, because this is the main 'bullet' for me to shoot his claim down Though...in light of what you guys have highlighted plus the extra handicaps he gave to himself ( It's in 2005, server is a single Pentium 4 PC, hosted from his home using consumer level broadband which that time is ~1Mbps top ( plus it's ADSL, the upload is way less than that ), all players in one area, it's during WoE, and so on ) I guess it's just not plausible. Thank you for all your input guys, really appreciate it ~~~

I am very skeptical of his claim, but dont want to straightaway calling it a bluff since I have been away from private RO for soo long ( was using darkweiss back then) Appreciate your input guys

Hi all. Recently, one of my work colleague claimed that back in 2005, he hosted RO private server, with at least 30000 players online at the same time. I find this very hard to believe, but some other of my colleague said it's possible because RO bandwidth requirement is very low... Is this truly possible? Can rAthena or any other app support that many players? What kind of server hardware needed for this? Appreciate any input. I personally feel he is bluffing, but I lack any facts to say otherwise
