I wish that was true, for pve-c servers at least…
Believe me, i’ve been in every single one (pve-c) with a reasonable latency for my location and all is the same.
Also, that would be bad for the player experience, it takes time to explore the map and see who actually plays and who is just refreshing their junk. In short, that wouldn’t fix anything.
To be honest i already gave up, i’ve leveled many characters only to find that the server is full of spamers, empty and excesive buildings and thralls occupying space where someone else could build. i tried playing on a private server but i’m already tired of the same early levels, now i just buuild random things in solo mode with admin tools.
