no no no
The fact you're seeing it on Velious is coincidence. (I think

) Something somewhere in the code has changed recently, right around when we started Velious.
Currently there are a couple of Kunark zones, and maybe even old world zones, that we've locked off as well because they're problematic. The pattern seems to be zones with lots of NPC's -- and more specifically -- lots of
moving NPC's.
Plane of Growth, Trakanon's Teeth, North Qeynos... my lag-o-meter shoots into 5000+ when I go to these zones, and as soon as I zoned into Plane of Growth one evening Sotonin and Fathernitwit pretty much went "Holy Shit!" on IRC... :lol:
