Reason for Realm2

[Achay]

This has been puzzling me for a little while, ever since the official guide to connecting without hamachi was posted. I had mine done I think the day before so mine is different.

RealmCount = 2

Realm1.Name = "YOUR REALM NAME"
Realm1.Address = "YOUR EXTERNAL IP:8129"
Realm1.Icon = "PVP"
Realm1.Colour = 1
Realm1.Population = 0
Realm1.TimeZone = 1

Realm2.Name = "YOUR REALM NAME;Local"
Realm2.Address = "YOUR INTERNAL IP:8129"
Realm2.Icon = "PVP"
Realm2.Colour = 1
Realm2.Population = 0
Realm2.TimeZone = 1

This is how the guide explains it. I don't have Realmcount = 2 I only have 1. What benefit does this make. I still have 0ms ping to the server, just curious what would change by changing my conf to the guide one.

Realmcount = 2, makes it that there are 2 servers instead of one =)

one for Local, and one for External

no 2 realms still = 1 server, the realms are used to connect to the server as far as i know, correct me if im wrong, but if you got realm1 with ip 87.56.35.32 and realm2 with ip 192.168.0.111 its so ppl outside your network can connect (via realm1) and you can connect (via realm2) to the same server

btw, realm2 should be internal ip if you got a server computer and dont connect to the game with that one (server and game aint on same computer) if they are, realm2 should be 127.0.0.1

I run game and server from same box so might explain why it worked with just the one.

Little off topic but I'll add it anyway. Is it possible to actually run 2 servers. My understanding, wrong now it seems, was that realm 1 2 3 etc were to choose an actual different play area. Like the blizz server you can choose which you want to plan on. Can we do the same. Can I run 2 realms both actually different games? Say one has High XP etc and the other Low? I originally thought thats what realms were for.

well, yes ehm give me a min and ill post how

[Jacksparrow]

actually no need i already did a long time ago

im NOT sure if this works, i have never tried it, and i wont lol, just got my server to work again hehe, but go to
C:\AC-Web Ultimate Repack\antrix\ and open realms.conf

inside it you will se:

# Logon Server Setup
#
# Logon servers are the old "realmlist" or "auth" servers.
# At the moment, you can only set up one. This will be changed in the
# future.
#
# LogonServerCount = Number of servers
# LogonServer[x].Address = The address (no port) of the server.
# LogonServer[x].Port = The port on which the logon server listens.
# LogonServer[x].Name = Not really relavant, but name the logon.
#

LogonServerCount = 1

LogonServer1.Address = "127.0.0.1"
LogonServer1.Port = 8093
LogonServer1.Name = "Default Logon"

now, if you put LogonServerCount too 2 i think you can add
LogonServer2.Address = "127.0.0.1"
LogonServer2.Port = 8193
LogonServer2.Name = "low rate server"

this is only maby, if you try it i would like to know if it works :)
