It's hard to tell exactly what type of setup they had.. they may have just had a physical server run the same zone for every game server.

I actually discussed this back in the day, after being yelled at for sending a tell directly to a GM. Oh no, I ruined their reply button... According to GM-Lead Admin Akkirus in mid-2000, Rallos Zek ran 15 zones per physical server (which were running Katmai core Xeons on Windows NT) and were due for an upgrade "in the coming months". I never spoke to him after the fact, and Lady Daegarmo during some undead event at a later date in Qeynos Hills said she had no idea about the new hardware or OS, it "wasn't her thing". I do know most of their bulk bandwidth was provided by Akamai, so you can only imagine the expenses involved to keep just one server chugging along.
