Should i wait until world 7?

Don't go back playing, wait for next world = less lag for us. Thanks.

this is a myth perpetuated by angry orange people, pay it no heed

While one person certainly wouldn't make any difference, it's incredibly naive to call the fact that more players contributes to more lag a "myth". More maps being loaded/unloaded/backedup constantly causes a higher strain on the I/O problem. The server is certainly more stable with 300 players as opposed to 600 players.

I thought this as I was starting W5, I started anyway, after 1 month, by the time I got good skills - the world restarts

so I'm not going to start W6 this late in

and those who say player count doesn't affect amount of lag are kind of dumb

everyone knows it does, it's just common sense- when there's lots of people on it's laggy, when there isn't, its not laggy

Given the world is 25k x 25k tiles and it's 5 layers deep, that's, 3.125 billion tiles.

I've watched the boss talk about salem in a video interview and he says the world will be "two square kilometers with each tile corresponding to one meter"
This would be incredibly small.
I just wish I had known about H&H sooner.
I mean I believe salem will suck, it will be a downgrade from H&H in the areas that make H&H great. Whoever cares about 3D should be playing million dollars games and leave us alone. What I love about H&H is that it looks like old UO. After a while you forget about the graphics' simplicity and just find them beautiful. You dont care about animations being clumsy because it just gets forgotten. And thus you can enjoy the awesome depth of the game mechanics. This is 180° away from the current trend in video game making. This is why I'm hooked (I'm a noob, been here a week or so).

P.S. I'm having a hard time finding that video again and I know I'm a noob and have devoted very little time to exploring the salem hype. Take this post as an opinion piece, I know I may be wrong about salem's world size and Björn's statement.

Speaking of Salem and HnH...

I thought I read somewhere that HnH and Salem would both be supported, with Salem taking priority. Was that just early Salem development shenanigans, or will both still be supported?

Beats me how it's going to be done, but it's going to be done, at least according to Jorb.
