Yea its destroying the server!  

It's official: the lag is the reason we can't have nice things.  

Is it possible that the swords and shields are contributing most to the lag? @Dusty

Yes, possibly. There are over 15,000 public shields so I'm going to give it one last test run without the sword and shield randomization and see if survives.  

awww i didnt even get to try it

It's back. For now.  

Out of curiosity, do you know if Graal uses a CDN or something for the heads/swords/shields or is it all loaded from the same server as the game itself?

Also, some are reporting the shield/sword isn't changing now, or it isn't changing always.  

works, theres no lag.

I had removed it due to it being the main source of lag, but reimplemented another method for grabbing random swords/shields that seems to be holding up fairly well.

There is a CDN that is definitely used by the flash/facebook client. Not sure if iOS uses it though.  

I actually had a lot of fun with this lmao  

It'd be really nice if there was a command to see what the individual pieces of my outfit were. That way if I found something I really liked in my randoming then I could utilize it for different outfits  

Thanks Dusty!
