MySQL is the way to go with anything bigger than ~2000 registered users. It makes administrating a hundred times easier and I'm not even exaggerating. Experienced it myself when my server moved to use MySQL a bit over a year ago with about 10 000 registered users. The FTP was taking a very long time to load all the files and in MySQL I can only list those I needed in the first place.
I don't even want to think of administrating a server using flatfiles to save players.. |
If you just use .ini to save everything, it will be space-consuming and time-consuming. MySQL is faster, and takes less space. If you have more than 1000+ players registered, i suggest to use MySQL. ( Anyways, we're going off-topic! Let's wait until the asker replies with my question! )
