Hi everyone. I have been toying with the idea of doing some RO scripting since I played for many years back in the day. I'm a professional programmer looking for a fun side project, I suppose. Thought about getting a Mini-PC, but I keep seeing random mentions of "multiple maps" and was wondering, is each box only able to handle a few maps at a time? I'm not sure how many maps can be run on a single machine but if this is the case, do most servers run a server for every single map? There are a lot of them!

I think it would be good to give more details about what do you mean by "mentions of multiple maps"...

Usually we run every game map in a single Hercules map-server.

There used to be a way to split the load between multiple map-servers, but as far as I know, this feature was removed from hercules a few years ago. It would only really make sense for very populated servers (where a single process couldn't keep up with the entire game world)
