Don't Leave Things Lying Around

[twidget658]

I have noticed lately that there is A LOT of item left on crafting benches. The server does have to keep track of all these items and it causes/adds to lag. There are trash cans EVERWHERE and almost always one close by. Please police yourself and keep the server clean.

Hear, hear! It seems like lately every time I go to the Farmer's Press in Hlint, there's a half-dozen or more abandoned buckets sitting on the device; the alchemy benches are frequently cluttered with abandoned vials and flasks. Please don't be a litterbug -- clean up after yourself!

once i found a jewlers bench loaded with greenstones, around 40 or so. Quite annoying

Yes, please do clean up after yourselves. Leaving things sitting in crafting stations contributes to lag. And none of us likes lag, right?

And everyone should check around the tables once in a while, you'd be surprised what you may find.

Just by passing among the tables every so often, one of my own characters has found nuggets of metals, gems ranging from cheap to rare (including a ruby a long time ago), lion bags (3 in total now), essenses for alchemy and even whole pieces of clothing.

So it's not just the usual junk you may find.
People really need to keep better track of what they do and what they leave behind (which should be nothing).

But without the lag, Soul Mother will starve and perish! lol, just kidding Whenever you're looting and you become over-burdoned, try also not to throw it all on the floor unless its truly a matter of life and death. A good tip is to drop the extra junk onto a new enemy corpse before you loot it, using it like a trash bin. Then you beat the sucker into oblivion, destroying all the items you just packed it with. Even if you're too weak to destroy the corpse, at least the cleanup script for corpses is quicker than the one for dropped items. Also, a HEAVY heavy portion of the lag we experience is from the login script of people who feel it necessary to have boxes of 36 10-stacks of things to craft, like gem dusts, bat guano, holy water, spell components, etc. Try to keep your invntory item count in moderation, please. And don't go around buying boxes of things in 7 or 10-stacks. Boxes of singular unstackables like eggs, corn, aloe and the like are fine. But when you put a price tag on stuff like a full box of milk (something like 140 bottles) or a full box of greenstone dust, then you wind up having 3 or 5 people all running around collecting obscene amounts of the same thing. Every time that person logs in, the server feels like a 90-year-old bag boy trying to scan and price 300 items in the average time span of a lag-spike, about 3 to 5 seconds. In that time EVERYBODY on the server winds up fending for their life against monsters who mysteriously portal next to the mage and have 8 attacks more per every one you swing at them; Not to mention the poor people lag-porting on top of mountains and in the middle of swarms across the map. So yeah... moderation. Plus I bet it's MURDER on the bandwidth rates.

Just giving this a friendly bump. Just ran across nearly two pages of things left in the kitchen in Hemp in the mill. There's a trash can right in the kitchen, please either trash it or pawn it if you don't want the stuff.

[Hellblazer]

is it me or is the forum buggy?looks like the post of thedaga is overlapping the one from lonnarin

[thedagda]

I was seeing the same earlier, but looks right now.

[Marswipp]

It was most likely a browser quirk.

[Hellblazer]

yep, back to normal here too.

*bumps thread* I'm finding far too many vials on the alchemy table and always buckets in the farmers press..CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES..PLEASE. It only takes a few seconds to check all the pages of a crafting station.

[Zoogmunch]

me two, please clear everything except high value gems on the gem cleaning tables please as I'll collect those........

[Alatriel]

not only that, but I keep finding buckets and other trash on the press, so it's not like it was an oops I forgot it there as those things are used on the press. It's not doing anyone any favors by leaving stuff around.

Been finding cows indoors as well as junk left on tables.
we all know why the steaks on legs where brought in, in the first place, but I really see no reasons to leave them there once you're done crafting *shrugs*
