A few ideas to make some server space.

[littleman17]

<DIV>Ok, I know that SOE has been trying to find ways to free up server space for new zones and such (you know, removing the ts societies), I came up with a few useless ones that that can be removed without hurting the game... and oddly enough, they all come from Maj'dul.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The three Courts: Instead of making each of these their own instance, just make it a door you cannot open untill you have the propper faction.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Moon Tower: Same deal as the courts, make it like the guard towers but with a door...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Peacock Club: I've yet to be in here, so I'm not sure how big/small it is.... but I doubt it is big enough to warrant its own instance...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Need to free up some space in Maj'dul? Remove a few of the useless beggars you see running around. I mean, if I give them a silver, I expect them to be my slaaaaaaave! *evil* laugh*</DIV>

I just cant see 4 tiny instances really freeing up server resources. The TS instances were many small zones that have a lot of players in each all the time, the ones you listed are normally barren of life when I've been in them. Peacock Club is tiny, so it wouldnt free up much either.

<BR>IF you want to go that far why not remove all the background NPCs and Critters that run around the city. How bout just make it all boxy so we dont lag when lots of people are standing around. There is no issue with server space. Memory and Storage is so cheap anymore they have plenty. The moved the TS things to make it easier to manage from a developer stand point not cause they have not deleted their cookies in sometime.<BR>

<P>the 3 courts all have different layouts, and each has 3 different instances...  if you do both peacock quests and ring of fate quests you'll see all 9 instances...  this varity is what makes the game so much better...  there is a distinct feeling to each of the courts...  and you can have access to all 3 courts at once, so if i was to click on a single door i'd get a popup with 6 choices when i goto zone into one of them...</P> <P>take KoS there is 3 zones that are used repeatedly...</P> <P>SoS = ToS = LoA = HoS = harla instance</P> <P>PoA = nest = AoA = vaults</P> <P>HoF = labs = BSS = MoA stuff = den</P> <P>i will agree that maj'dul is a lagfest...  the huge amount of npcs there makes it so...  the many towers with guards in each, the many merchants that are just for show, the beggers to spam you to death...</P> <P>but to start combinig zones together what about the small t5 zones???  k'dals has 3 seperate instances, MotM has a couple, ragnog has like 4, drayek has 2, MM has 2, fyremist has 3, zalaks has 2...</P> <P>if they wanted to make space, they could just delete the bloodline chronicles completely and really noone would miss it...</P>
