Lycus -> RE: New non-PvP based server (2/10/2013 17:15:44)

Though I certainly do understand the point you are coming from, in the fact that you want to avoid lag and when using an old computer, you have to find other ways to help run the game at a good speed. The main issues here are firstly, servers cost a lot of money to keep running, yes, we have 2 servers that only become active after releases or at prime time, but the fact that they lock when not needed helps keep costs down. Creating a new server for this purpose would cost a lot, yet may not be the best option ever since it creates as many issues as it solves:
EpicDuel is a PvP game, that is the core focus, the Omega update was to help create even more focus on that. Creating a server that is for NPCs and other uses is rather counter productive, in that it is making a server without the main part of the game on.
It would be very confusing for new players who go on one server and happily PvP, next day they click another and the option is oddly gone. Though it's easy to say we can make it obvious, quite a lot of young people play the game and some may not understand even if we try to explain. It's unfair on them if they do not realise about this server for similar reasons and therefore NPC on the more laggy servers.
If the server became very popular, there would be a large amount of people on it to 'avoid lag', which actually creates lag and makes the server completely useless.
Those are only a few off the top of my head, I did have a few more, but they have completely escaped me by now aha - but yes, see where you are coming on and good thinking in terms of finding a solution, however the issues outweigh the positives, so sadly, it will not be happening.
Will lock this up due to this - PM me if you have any queries!
