Adjust the way Gralats spawn to reduce server lag

Yog · 03-24-2016

The fact that Gralat spawn rates are increased when there are more players in the level never really made sense to me. All it does is encourage congestion in specific areas which lead to server lag.

If Gralats were set to spawn at a static rate it would encourage players to move around from more populated farming areas like Swamp Town and into places that are rarely used due to risks of having their Gralats stolen. Doing so would potentially reduce server lag, which has been a real problem lately.

Maybe houses can stick to the same way Gralats work?

Fun Fact: this actually happened late 2011 for a year or so. (not even for lag purposes). Everyone complained. It was eventually fixed. Public farming community died and never recovered.
