Any chance on getting all the 100's of loot bags to disappear that no one has the room to pick up all the items that drop on the kills? I think it will help with the terrible lag ?

Hmmmm all the loot should disapear after reset which happens when the server is empty.
I suppose Z could run a Cleanup monster (thinking a Goblin in a butlers outfit) or something like that that would zip round each level every 2 hours and clean up and loot that hasn't been picked up.

My first thought was a bag decay. However I like the goblin idea better. [img]smile.gif[/img]

As long as it remains unkillable, stop anyone accidentally (or deliberately) killing the house-help.
And if it can come round and clear up after my kids too that would be a bonus... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't know...I could envision a character bending over to pick up that coveted magic item that they've fought through 15 seperate hordes in the last 2 hours to get when the goblin comes whipping through and scoops it up! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well it would only clear a level after say an hour of inactivity. otherwise it would skip that level.

Does loot on the flaw really create "that" much lag?

yep because it takes every bits and pieces for you to load it and recognize it in your own computer.

Well I'd say upgrade the internet connection then, as on GW I can have an awful lot going on and I dont lag. And all the bits of loot make no difference.
