[Channels] - Make 200 into 10 or so.
Hi there,
What I've been asking myself for ages is why we are having 200 channels to 'hide' in.
I can't really believe this is done for the 'guilds' that are around.
I want to suggest to drasticly decrease the amount of channels that we have.
Pro:
- More 'visible player activity' surrounding you.
- Less need for server megaphones to sell stuff.
Cons:
- Abit more lag for people?

I kinda think we need a way to see how much traffic might be on channels, regardless of the number of them being the same or reduced. Some players like having a quiet, more private experience without all the good places to sit being taken up.
Then your task to make the 'engine' better, or indeed see what the 'cap' might be.
Now its just that whenever there are 10 players each channel, 2000 players might be playing.
10 players around you, for a newcomer, might give him the idea that the game is 'dead'. While being flowded with 100's of people around him, it would give him a great experience of the 'activity' of the game.
While 2000 a channel might be too much, I'm sure a couple of 100 could do. (tho I doubt we have that many players at the moment)
And since when, does a game care about 'people wanting to be left alone in an MMO' +joy Play singleplayer games for that, or afk in Malina and play everything via quick battle.
well if that is the case, just make a more potato graphics for people. im sure there is a way to make graphics worse than what we have by choice for those who cant host or run the game well.
