I did a few searches on here and got alot of info I need to look over some more just a quick question for a MUD/MMORPG setting should each character/connection have it's own thread? The last server I wrote for a game like this ran fine with a few people 1-10 but once more people started logging in it started getting bogged down maybe it was bad code in some areas or something just exploring different solutions before I settle on something that is going to take weeks if not months to implement and test.
