Then I decided to bite the bullet and go with 5. Playing with 3 shaman was pretty fun, so adding 2 more should be even more fun. Right? Right?!

Running all on one machine (2 cores). Tested with 2 additional trial accounts and play was acceptable. There are some things I can do to the slave clients to increase performance, though. I have the main client running on one core and the others running on the other so I'll probably have to stagger logins on the slaves because the initial load all at the same time can be quite long lol. Also might try core0 - main, slave and core1 - 3x slave and see how that goes.

Have 2GB RAM with 2 more on the way so that should help as well. Also coming is a case fan. Though being quite irrelevant regarding this topic, I noticed today that my case doesn't really have an exhaust fan. At all (though it has 2 vents). 8| My box doesn't have any heat issues (it's even OC'ed quite a bit), it's just one of those things you'll feel better about having. I even built the thing myself and I didn't realize it till today. /facepalm

Anyway, looking forward to doing some insane totem lightshows/chain heal pentagrams! :thumbsup: Not looking forward to gathering quests however. They were bad with 3 and I expect they'll be even worse with 5. :S
