So in my short time here I've noticed that people tend to hang out in the Auction area to chat and spend time with one another, which is great. I guess I am wondering why it is required for them to wear the meters while doing so. It seem to me that if people were allowed to remove their meter, at least when in safe zones, that this might help to reduce the lag in the SIM. Every person wearing a meter adds about 15-20 scripts to the server. I'm not an expert on how this works or anything but it seem like it would have to have an impact. Just a suggestion that I and another member of the SIM were talking about. (I've been told in the past that asking everyone to reduce their network bandwidth to about 300 helps a lot too. I know this is actually required in some SIMs. Anyone else have any other suggestions?)
