RAM by player count
The Windrose developers' numbers for a dedicated server, with a 2-core CPU at 3.2 GHz:
- 2 players: 8GB of RAM
- 4 players: 12GB of RAM
- 10 players: 16GB of RAM
Pick your plan for the largest group that plays at the same time, not for all your friends. The developers recommend groups of up to 4 players, because boss fights aren't balanced for more.
Single-core speed
People who host Windrose report that the speed of a single CPU core decides the server's performance more than the number of cores.
A daily restart at a quiet hour
People who host Windrose also report that RAM use climbs the longer the server runs, and a daily restart brings it back down. Add a daily restart at a quiet hour from the Schedules tab. The steps are in the scheduled tasks guide.
Windrose can't send players a message before the restart, so tell your friends the time ahead.
