Multiple members of Staff spend time looking at the bot statters multiple times a week to try to make sure that they aren't multiplay-multibotting. This is pretty unproductive, is imperfect and costs quite a bit of time, while the multiplay-multibotters lose out on nothing. With the highbie reroll system on the horizon, sometime, somewhere - effective immediatley we are going to run a trial with sapling respawning turned OFF. If this leads to less workload for imms, the sapling respawning may remain turned off and we are likely to look at some form of prerolledstats for male channeler characters.
As a question to players, can you please see if this cuts down on your perception of lag even a little? We suspect it's a contributing factor, but we can't objectively measure it. The more eyes on this, the better.
