Lag Rules

Placing boxes in startegic locations would help a lot for rule 1.
A couple examples:
Outside between smithy and tailor in AV.
Outside store in FD or by front gates.

Does Rule 2 include summons or just players?

doesn't direct connecting help also?

1: Placeable boxes probably wont go into game in that manner, its was a design decision way way back that we wouldnt go out of our way to help out the meta gamers. Small boxes are a common enough drop now that most people should be carrying atleast 1 by level 5.

2: Players only.

Regarding direct connect, I have found nothing other than rumor and speculation that direct connect makes any actual differance to the server. Once the connection to game is made the data follows the exact same path regardless of how you connected to the server.

Direct connect is easier for most of us, but having any real effect ... I just dont see it, and I havent found any definitive answer one way or the other.

If its posible to avoid having your summon around (standing around avendell or other place with no threats) that would ofcouse help a little too, since the server wouldn't have to fire all the scripts for it.
