Admin Announcement: Full server, what now?

[Coin]

What we have here is a gap between the attainable and the ideal.

1. is attainable
2. is ideal

"Man's reach must exceed his grasp, or else what's a dream for?"

this is six months since peeps were saying 'leave it and see if it calms down' but it hasn't.

1. we already have. there is rp usa, rp uk, etc etc. we can choose to come to other servers if this one is full. if the servers were magically linked so that the chars were shared, there'd be a lot of other servers popping up.

2. would be sweet. could we implement a version of the /beam command to move from server to server.

would reducing the no of npc's reduce lag, and thereby enable us to increase the no of players without frying the processor?

a 50% reduction in the no of npc's/asteroid rocks spawned would make life a lot easier

maybe only have npc's spawning in a certain zone around bases (like asteroid spawn only in certain areas)


in the short term, i recommend that there is a limit on no of players that can be in any one system (20?). so if your a lolwut capzor and you last docked in NY, you have to play other chars instead.
