If I had to recommend a dedicated server company, it'd be RackSpace; though their servers are quite expensive. Harmony does not require a lot of CPU/RAM to run; it actually requires very little for the server side, so even a cloud or VPS service can handle an emulator w/ Harmony.

What server from rack space do you recommend I should get? I'm kind of on a budget of 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of on a budget of 200 Hi Ron, Almost all the time, that is related to client-lag due to poor client version or due to certain combination of DIFF options they choose for the client. With a budget of $200, go for a cloud server on RackSpace; you can't afford a dedicated with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt ill even get higher than 200 players.. thats if i keep it up for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your initial question, to run a starter rAthena server w/ Harmony; At minimal, you should have... 512MB RAM 2 CPU Cores (varies, due to CPU Frequency Speed; but 2 for 2.5ghz+) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
