Hey kid, you're new to the forums so I'll give you this one. We've talked about it already. This and every topic you've brought up since you started your account. Every one. You might not have been around to notice, but there were changes made to pets. Fireworks and weather effects are not server side, so they don't contribute to server lag. As I previously stated, one house with a couple dozen bug animations makes little difference. Tracking the location and randomizing movement of some 50 or 60,000 interactive bug NPCs, however, makes a difference. |

The BIGGEST data consuming bug is the Mantis, At exactly 5.81kb amount of data per Mantis. Butterflies are around 4kb to 4.24kb of data per butterfly. To put in perspective, These bugs are GIF file which is more consuming than a regular PNG format. A average graalian's GIF head is around 40kb to 100kb in data. Sometimes a bit more or less depending on the animation and colors and so on. And a regular PNG is around 10-25 KB of data, sometimes less or more as I stated before. So if we do the math, Using the LOWEST amount of data on average for a regular gif head, It is close to almost being 7X more, being 6.8 times as much for exact measures. That means if we took ONLY the head of a Graalian(No body, hat, accessory, shield, sword which also packs way more each than a bug) we could have 1 gif Graalian head is still be a slight bit more than 6 whole Mantis which is also the biggest data consuming of any of the bugs. And remember this is a 40kb gif head, the lowest and smallest data consuming on average, If it was 80kb it would be close or more than 14X as much data Even if there is was 500 mantis in everyone's house, that is only 2.9 MB, still extremely small, and also unlikely because your was limited to how many bugs you can place in your house to like 10, and not many people would put a mantis in their house as it would likely disappear if there is no bushes, 500 butterflies though of average 4.24kb is only 2.1 MB which is even smaller So no, There is no logical and realistic way bugs can or even could be issues. 2.9MB should be no where AT ALL close to being a big enough issue to lag a server, 2.9 MB is less data than 1 song to which on average being around 4 to 8 MB. Which should still be no where at all close to lagging a server, It isn't a big file, And doesn't consume any space and to track location also doesn't take much data at all either. |

Correct me if im wrong but mantis don't disappear inside a house. They sit on top of each other. |

And no, People usually didn't put Mantis in their house, Typically they only put butterflies or maybe Beatles and so on. I used Mantis as a example because they are the most data consuming, they are 5.81kb , the Butterflies being around 4.0 kb to 4.24kb... so , Mantis was close to getting about 50% more data , prob around 35-40% more than a butterfly Which is why I used it to show a "What it we had a lot of bugs of the most data consuming ". And I agree with you, I feel if bugs some magically how was a problem a limit should've maybe been lowered instead, To maybe 2 or 3 per house, Instead of just flat out putting them in a jar for a price of 2500 |
