Free Qeynos Harbor!

Rook818 · 12-31-2005, 10:36 AM

I don't know about other servers but on AB Qeynos Harbor is a simply dreadful zone. The overcrowding is so bad that people with 4 gigs of ram and the fastest CPUs available are lagging out...

Not only is QH the launching point for straight to TS (and beyond) adventures, but it's also the only place to catch a carpet to SS. I'd like to suggest 2 things and get some feedback on it...

1. Put some carpets in SQ and/or NQ

2. If there is a launching point to a new expansion in the future, do not put it in QH

3. or....instance QH (my least favorite idea)

I had one of those lightbulb over head moments the other day trying to get an update in EFP for the stein of mogguk and being from qeynos the lag in that zone as well made it difficult to say the least. The lightbulb moment happened when I realized EFP lagged exactly like qeynos harbor and it dawned on me it was for the same reason.Ask yourself this question: what is the one thing that both East Freeport and Qeynos harbor have in common? (Aside from being central zone out points and the holiday stuff and the obvious lag issues) .... they are the two zones that you can buy items from the other city in. Yep its the Fence npc's that are lagging efp and qh. SOE probably needs to take a look at the script on the Fences in both cities and see about how it can be improved or perhaps shunted off to a seperate cpu than the same as the zones themselves. I bet if they can slim down the coding or move it to its own cpu on the servers itd cut the lag in both zones down at least half. But thats just my 'educated' guess as a computer tech / gamer and its up to SOE hopefully to look further into it as they're the only ones who can properly determine if its true and how to go about fixing it.
