Good and Bad

He should probably leave the decision to Loftar if he's not really sure what he wants.

I'm not against a finite map. but 25 square kilometers is roughly the size of my state's capitol. You could make the map 95 square kilometers and it would STILL have people meeting regularly once we get up to 1k player base.

How dense population is is relative to the number of players. Perhaps you can implement some sort of theoretically infinate map gen that only allows expansion based on the number of average active players. Then manage to find a balance in that algorithm through tweaks based on desired population density within the game and our experience with the effects of such.

Doing this would doubly serve to protect the server from some random faggot macroing an expanding map by walking forever with nubs and eventually pushing the server beyond capacity and crashing it.

I donated all the money in my paypal to you guys.
Yeah thats right, $2.50 USD.
No more lag please.

I'd say that save the new grid generation 'till you've got some interesting terrain features or something to test.

wouldn't prevent them from spamming alts though

I remember Loftar being able to quote unique connections. I'm sure there is a way to account for multiboxers.

Stop flip flopping?

Would also like to know where these new people are coming from .

I believe this may be your answer, it is certainly where i came from when the lag started, but now more people are playing and its lag land.

You know, it is sorta funny. I was lurking 2chan threads the day before yesterday trying to find the best place to put an ad up for this game.
I guess I shouldnt do that now, eh?
