How many characters can you log into VMK at once?
« on: November 07, 2006, 02:47 PM »
I ask each of you how many characters can you log into VMK at once? (From one computer.)

I know that if you have several computers it is easy enough to log one or two characters on from each.

It is amazing what can be done from a fast computer, with a fast connection...



 ;D Yes that is 13!!!

And there in the room you can count them all, plus two witnesses.

I did get one more logged-in but then the computer got a bit too slow and they began crashing.

So is this a VMK record or just a personal best?

Yes, I was one of the witnesses!  On as my clone PurpleDream, who simply can't get enough Decoys!  ;D

I was also on (and have pics for both) the last time you had a record which was 10 decoys.  Congrats on the new record, until Yavn finds out and you begin losing clones!  :o

btw, the best I can do is 3 at a time on one computer.. I know, totally lame!

Wow I get 8 tabs in Firefox before it drags to almost a halt on my new PC, but only about 3 with vmkpal before it chokes.

Give us some stats on your PC+connection!  How does he do it?

Sorry for the delay.

Here are the stats:

PC
Intel Core2 Duo 6600 @ 2.40GHz
2.00 GB of RAM
Windows XP Pro

Connection
Dedicated T-1 Line

I'll have to try that Firefox tab method. :cool2:

At your 8 to 3 ratio compared to VMKPal, I should be able to get about 34 or so in.  :thumbs: (Of course they could not be in the same room.)

Omg that is just wicked fast!  I have cable and I am able to get 2 on for a very short period of time before shutting everything down.
Psst!  Hey Decoy, put in a word with Santa for me.   :notme:

Right now I can log in 0.  I try for hours and hours everyday, but my stinking  :sb: bar won't go past the 1/3 mark.   :wtf:

The most I have tried is probably about 10 back during the everest event.  I would probably get cascading failure if I tryed to do anything with them.  If I am running people for host events  usually use 2 computers with the most at 3 on each.  The other night for lily's Half time show, which I normally would not bother with I remebered she has a prize room teleporter in there to exit so I cranked them up and had 6 on one computer.  When they started loading in the room I had a hard time getting anyhting but a white screen.  Everything eventually did come into view and they all got their chair going straight out the teleporter. ;)

The best way to use VMK Pal is not to. My opinion.  But, I have 26 years of IT experience to tell you that whenever you start using third-party software, you open yourself up to other problems.

There are many out there who live and breathe VMK Pal and are about to flame me, but this is my experience and opinion.

I too am in the IT Field and have been working with computers for over 20 years. :cool2:

There will be no flames here. :thumbs:

Just a "I humbly disagree." :notme:

I have some systems I use just to "try out" new programs, before using them on my main systems. I did so with VMKPal, which is just a wrapper around IE, and found no problems with it. I have since used it frequently, though not exclusively, for my VMK playing with no issues for quite a while. (I have not so great a memory, and am equally bad with dates, but I have been using it since before it was 1.0.

I will say, try it yourself if you are interested but, as with any "third-party" software use it at your own risk.
