I got on, server was laggy, i see the map, 4000 on. BOOM
Fyi that's average amount of players on Classic right now.
Here's my idea for the future to reduce the lag.

SERVERS
Let's have three servers, each server has a capacity of 2000 and if we get on we are assigned to a random server. Which ever server you are on, you can still read/send guild chat, pm and do anything.

TOWERS
When you enter the tower, that's where 3 servers all meet together. IMO spawn points should be re-assigned. So you get to spawn inside the tower when you die.

SPARS
Using World of Warcraft Arena style. We should queue through menu and have to press enter when you found ur opponent. What this does is, it prevents boosting or selective sparring. Easier to monitor in admins perspective. You won't randomly lose cause you AFK, you have 10 seconds to press enter when you are up for spar.

Changing the whole frame isn't easy, but we need something like this in next 3 years.
What do U think?

VIPS
Extra customs set every month.
VIP badge, VIP point to spend.
VIP area. Convince people to buy VIP.
Like it's so pointless right now and I know classic can make it better.
