I should specify - the bottleneck is in the server, not the users' computers. We rent a server from beastnode with 2-3 gigs of ram, and it has been running horizons well. We restarted and switched to monster, and it won't load up. What I can glean from the rapidly scrolling server log is a multitude of out of memory errors, so memory lack is a possible cause I want to explore. There are no file problems, because I can load it on my home computer. then again I've read posts where people say they run monster on 2-3 GB of RAM so.. maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree
