There is the ephemeral concern of, if the game expands there and people build in new areas, does that make the database and memory usage strain a gportal server further, particularly for the resources allocated for a console server. So while yes, there’s empty space, it eats into headroom that from all funcom server performance discussion doesnt really exist as of today. So they’d have to optimize other things to keep overall performance the same to offset expansion. We don’t worry about this because out map users control their own server to a degree and we do it for ourselves more than worry about edgecase resources.
