Ideas for a sever stability

[Maslow]

Hello,
Shortly will describe 3 ideas:

1) Make daily server reboots like 2-3 times a week. It's takes about 30 min, but it will be much less lag in gameplay and ppl will enjoy it - belive me. Example of a good daily reboot MMO - EVE online (were lags still make ppl angry).
2) Accounts and characters creation limits. For example: you can create 1 character on newly created accout once in a 24h. Something similar with account creation.
3) Chat characters leight limits. Actually gess it will be hard to make. A good example could be warcraft 3 private servers chat scripts, were you can't spam like an idiot, but still it's okay for fast chating with a friends.

That is all for now, tnx for attention and sorry for my bad english.

Best regards,
Maslow

1- Are the devs around enough to do this ? (Will it take too much time to develop and make it work?)
2- I dont understand how this will help.
3- Most people use irc or some other form of chat dont they ? Personally i dont use it that often.

Then again im not exactly experienced with this kind of thing and i suspect the reason they backup all the data is to prevent it from been nuked like the last world (from what ive read)
I also heard that they use something to prevent map corruption or something.(maybe thats what the backups are for ?)

... Right, I forgot. A week is 2.5 days. ...

That is all for now

*Knocks some wood and makes a wish that that's not going to change for a long time.

1 - server anyways crashes or need to be rebooted once a week~ (coz of trololo lags), so... gess will take less time just reboot it rapidly... that do not take 8h of RL time to work on it...
2 - heard that some players abuse server by creating new characters... so it starts lag hardly and need to be rebooted... (actually that is not a fact, just ppl talking...)
3 - same here, there are some information that some brave players/fighters uses "chat spam bot" to cause huge lag on the battlefield...

... Right, I forgot. A week is 2.5 days. ...

So you better preffer play in trololo lags and have fun 24/7 7 days a week or even (if server gets lucky) more? Or just to wait 30min 2-3 times a week and play with almoust no lags?

*edit*
i dont want to bump this thread, so editing in here to reply to burg below.
im only stating that loftar has already done what he thought needed to be done here. loftar did read what crf said there, and chose to do nothing further. if you know there are still many spam bots around to give us threats, you would need to show loftar some convincing proof to change his mind.

im afraid mvqulik was being sarcastic there.

To be fair players reported Loftars "fix" does exactly nothing. Those bots are still around.
