Even though developping cross-server battlegrounds was one of our dreams, we chose to keep the current one. Consequently, to deal with this issue, a respawns algorithm will be developped soon to have a dynamic respawn rate comparable of the one from retail but dealing with more than 2x/3x population.

Even so, if the numbers keep increasing, eventually the devs will either have to impose a pop limit with queue, and/or create another server. Barrens at peak hours, for one, is absolutely mental right now. I've never seen an inn keeper buried in people. :lol:
I can see that another server is perhaps not quite desirable right now, but with donations and volounteers, why should it not be possible?

Whats the content of this patch ?
Thanks

Retroactively changing mob spawn times based on the amount of people around.

The update we applied this morning should improve server performance a bit (~10%), and fixes bugs. You will have a complete patchnote tomorrow.
Spawn rates are not modified for now.

Can you please link a donation page in english? And is it possible to donate without having a paypal account? I don't wanna create one, but I'd like to help you out moneywise.
Cheers!

PS: Keep up the great work, we all really appreciate it :)

Can you setup a goal in a dollar amount that you need to upgrade to a better system? I want to donate because I am a huge supporter of what you guys are doing but am not sure to what extent I would be helping.
