MaNGOS and player limits question

[Artillies]

Does MaNGOS have player limits which are not listed on the configuration file? For example, do you can have more then 4000 players on your server when its MaNGOS based?

[Patman128]

Only limits are system limits.

Also, make sure your host doesn't have a limit on simultaneous incoming connections. This can be done by emailing your host, or checking our their FAQs section.

Windows max is 4096 sockets per thread

Unix/Linux max is most likely 1024 sockets per thread, it's system dependent

Because performance gets crappier the more sockets there are in one thread (even when there is no network traffic), you'll want to follow the conf suggested ratio.

Of course, if you don't have enough processor cores you won't really gain performance by increasing the number of threads.
