World Add More Worlds

After the 1.17 update, there have been a lot less worlds available because the max amount of players on each world went up. But most of the time, people don't want to join a world with 50-60+ people because they get lag easily.

Add more depending on how many players are on the server.
Right now there are approximately 830 people online, and only 10 worlds. That means that there'd be 83 people per world, which wouldn't work because the max is 75. If there were more worlds, this wouldn't be a problem.

Better solution is to reduce the amount of people allowed in each server, to at least 65. After that, maybe add more servers to accommodate player numbers, but otherwise more servers costs more money.

 

yea i dont think increasing the server capacity was a good move cuz now they lag all the time and its annoying xd

 

Let's see what we (or at least I) know:

There was a recent efficiency update that made worlds slightly faster...
Some players have slow computers and can play better on worlds with fewer players...
Some players would prefer to play with a lot of other players...
More players per world means more players get more from each bomb...
The server as a whole is cheaper to run with fewer servers...
There are many others as well...

Here's what I think:
To save money, they shouldn't have more servers. With a bit more speed, max 65 can most likely be afforded by each server without any decrease in speed...
I think there should be maybe 5 servers with max 65 (or maybe 60) while the rest keep their 75 max. Each of the 5 servers will handle the lower player count better.

Pros:
Many players will have a faster experience.
Wynn saves some money by not having more servers.

Cons:
The 60/65 player servers will likely get full and many players will be stuck with the current 75 max player servers.
Those servers will be a bit less likely to get bombs, or at least not as many people will get the effects of them.

 

OnlyOneServer dream

 

I think this would be kind of cool but the literal price would not be worth it.

 

Servers are automatically created based on the current player count. You tend to only see all servers full when there's a large influx of players and new servers can't start fast enough.

That said, we are playing around with lowering the number of servers overall such that there won't be any new ones created unless most servers are full-ish. Apparently we went a little too far last week so I changed it again yesterday. You should see a bit more room as a result.

 

What would have to happen for there to be more room on each server?

 

What do you mean, more players per server? That's limited by the fact that more players on each server = more lag.
