Hello, I'm building a small game server. I don't want some morals war to start on here but it is for World of Warcraft, a private server emulator with up to 500 bots for me, my retired mother, and my friend to play on together only. I have the internet speed, now I just need the server, tell me what you think? The server program doesn't take much of the processor from what I've seen so I went small there.
