I'm not sure how much RAM the MUD here takes up nor the CPU time. I've seen 7 users online at once, and that's about it. As far as directory rights go here, I'm the only one with access to developing the MUD via shell. Actually, I'm about the only one on the project until I can hire some people to assist. I'll end up taking care of the software-based operations, and I'll get some internal editing working for assistants to develop zones. > Oh yeah, drive space is gonna cost me $4.00 CDN per meg, one-time fee. > How much drive space should I buy? my mud on my linux PC takes up 10 > megs, including .o, .c, bins, world, etc... but how big do these things > get? I was planning on buying 20 megs. My MUD's a good 20 megs so far, excluding backups ;>. Whatever happened to the 50-cent-per-meg? Or are you 'buying' drive space on the server? I've heard of a couple of noncommercial sites charging for such projects.
