I doubt it server is full like you are talking. I doubt theres bases in all places like savanna new asgard sepemeru volcano silkhole north ice jungle south jungle north buccaner etc
the map from conan is VERY BIG the big problem are people want always build in the same places or near other peoples but if all the server is full like you are talking with like 200 clans and almost 500 bases…
You can always choose another server in the MANY servers funcom have
You can always rent a server or you can play in single player.
Also server lags come from G PORTAL isnt players fault a new OFFICIAL empty server cant hand 20 players online in same time right now but a private server can hand 50+.
You’re going to get poor performance on any public server. Only private servers with people who know what they are doing have good performance.
Maybe. But it’s not like private servers ain’t on Gportal. Or the server not being a Gportal server makes it run better.
Now if you are running a vanilla Conan exiles server with no mods even on Gportal it will run better.
Nice, fresh, unpaved map, going to run fine.
The OP pointed out the issue; IMO. PVE servers are simply over built. I did a tour of 6 US PVE servers, it was cookie cutter. On average there are 3 over builders. People whos massive builds are beyond reasonable and deep in to multiple ToC violations, but no one reports.
The biggest issue with funcoms zendesk system is it depends on players to be HOA agents. Who actually wants to be that guy?
I don’t, but I was raised to follow rules, and find it irksome when I see some one flagrantly violating them. To get me to report you you have to be obnoxiously over the line.
But recently on the live server I was on 1 person quit; I think. That person was one of the most flagrantly violating builders; I gave up reporting them, funcom would not investigate. But the few days it took for his builds to decay changed the server performance notably.
As I have said before, a funcom rep just needs to, once and a while, log in to a server and tour it.

It doesn’t cost them a dime. They have a partnership with G-portal. Ever notice the G-portal logo in game? When you click rent a server in game it takes you directly to G-portal as well. For that, G-portal gives them a number of server clusters.
G-portal’s configuration cannot handle 80 players. Even with zero buildings on a fresh server.
Upkeep costs are a thing that people have suggested in the past. But given how easy it is with an expertise build and black blood tools to get materials. Even large builds can easily have several months worth of mats saved up.
I remember one of the largest structures I helped build on a non-modded PVP server and how fast we got it up. If we spent the rest of the week farming materials. We would have been able to rebuild it over 10x over. Ironically storing those materials would have caused more lag on the server than the actual structure.
You’re trading one problem for another there.
The only upkeep system that could work for FC servers is you need to spend crom coin every week for decay timers to advance at all. Otherwise build structures decay within seconds of being placed. Gotta hit everyone in the wallet to make it work. Though I’m certain those servers would be emptied out real quick, and I mean really empty, not the percieved empty people think they are when they look at a server browser.

Well the beta server is battleye bouncing me, so…
What has been proposed is.
Servers with periodic wipes.
Subscription servers active moderation.
Over hauls to the present system.
A new system {land claim flags 
}
But the only thing that is up to us is making the reports.
That is why I said
The game has a built in throttle. If you know where it is and you’re on good equipment, the game runs 1500% better. The level of builds on the public servers are a drop of water on a well tunned server.
I have talked many times i will try talk again land claim flags NEVER will work many games tried it and almost all failed hard.
Let me give you a example what will happen…
1st clans will over because people will leave it to have more flags
2nd people will do like they do today they will create alt accounts and will claim everything with flags
3th people play honest dont break rules will quit the game becauae they cant more build in a sandbox builder game
And for last
4th it will ruin much more pvp dont letting people put vaults when raiding or making fobs
The main problem with land claim are people dont know how to walk in the huge map from conan and people love to build in the same place because it in every server you see silkhole , sepemeru and mounds of dead full of bases people need to learn to walk in map go north jungle or south jungle go north ice or volcano go to savanna or bucanner theres Many empty space in map.
I hope den and andy rework toc and make it like ark toc it way people will stop cry and stop play like noobs building in the same place near other players base and crying about it after some time.
Most every multiplayer sandbox game I’ve played has a land claim set up, usually A block. Conan and a couple squad base are the only ones where everything claims a small piece of land.
The rules clearly do not restrict peoples builds, and the rules, if not enforced, are a joke.
The issue isn’t so much where people build as how.
Dozen or so conservative transtone bases around serpers, the sink hole, sinners, would be fine. But that isn’t how people build. Some want to make the temple district of Rome.
And guess what, that temple district is as much a violation out side of the sink hole, as it would be out in the middle of the snow fields.
Me I just want people to build with a bit of thought for their fellow players, the public servers are not your to build as you will. But since there is no way to stop them and the system only works when you rat out your fellow players, the system doesn’t work and can too easily be used as a weapon.
I will continue to maintain as long as pepole can violate the ToC they are going to. Till funcom builds something in to the game that stops them from violating the ToC the public toilets are not going to change.
Seriously soemthing I see often is the multiple open maprooms around sink holes. Now one is a public service, but who, running along and gets to an obelisk, see 3 maprooms and thinks, “you know what this place needs? A fourth maproom”. WHY?
Nope no rule against it, so hay there is room over here for a 7th. Then wonder why the public servers run for crap, and eveyone blames Gportle. No, has nothing to do with 8 different builds of Hogwarts on the server 
I have said before, in my opinion the “official” servers should be an example of what a vanilla server should be, not how bad they can get.

You might playing unknown or wrong sandbox games i can give some examples from GOOD know popular sandbox games like ark , rust , 7 days to die , valheim , minecraft , no man of the skys thr list goes on
All it games are very good know and they dont have enforcement in build rules and most dont have limit of build…
The rules are no joke but enforced rules are and justmake people quit.
Right now i ask you to read ark survival rules to learn a little about how simple rules can make a game good for both people and game producers
Like i talked people like to build in popular places and near other players bases and after they begin to cry about lag or about how big the other player base is.
Anyway like i talk i hope funcom change rules make it like ark rust 7 days and all other games when they make it all the cry about builds will stop because people will have to learn how to live with others players and no more false reports or inocent peoples getting banned and quitting and no more new players getting afraid of build in a builder sandbox game.
Have them all. They have A block that claims a build area, unlike Conan.
The build limit is built in to the claim area.
This isn’t ARK.
What is this issue people have with actually following rules?
Agree give us a land a claim flag the claims and area we can’t build out side of, like all the games you just named.
You do get it’s just a ban from the public servers, right.
If I have a private server, give you rules and you break them, I ban you from my servers. You’re not banned from the game.
You are wrong again you can build in many places of map in most of it games you can claim many areas and theres NO BAN
Its a survival sandbox game almost the same gameplay you build survive and conquer you make dungeons you loot you train followers why we cant we copy they rule if they are making sucess with it?
Again you are wrong you can build out side in almost all it games like conan i can have a base in north ice and another one in the south jungle
In 7 days , ark , rust and many others you can do it too with no fear of be banned and theres no people crying about other players base in all it games.
I have and have played all those games. They have a game mechanic where you lay down a block that claims an area of land you can build in.
I wish Conan had the 7D2D land claim block mechanic.
The part you seem to be missing is I have all those games, and play Conan.
I hate 1st person.
RUST is the example I use of the worst of PVP.
ARK land claim is just like Conans foundations will prevent others from building nearby but also cause resources and creatures to not spawn.
The 7D2D landclaim block Land Claim Block - 7 Days to Die Wiki
Land claim in RUST:
How to make your first land claim as a group
- Step 1: Make a clan using our /clan plugin.
- Step2: Build a base and place your tool cabinet down.
- Step 3: While inside of your base, type /claim and then click Claim HQ
- Make sure to place a sign on the outside of your base showing the clan name
- You are done!
Shall I go on? Each one of those games has a land claim mechanic. This mechanic prevents you from building out side that claim. Inside that claim you can build how ever you want.
ETA: I kind of like the way Enshrouded did it.
You can still build out side like in conan in most of it game and Theres no limit of blocks.
Its no dificult to you understand or maybe is…
I have all it games too and the only one where we have crying about builds is conan.
7D2D has a hard build radius, go turn it on on your block, the game will show it to you
You can build many bases in 7d2d…
I think you can still have 8 fire altars in Enhrouded so you can build 8 bases no?
I didnt played it so much maybe you know…
If the 7days host allows it. But each base had a land claim block, each block has a limited build radius.
Same with the Enshrouded alters, you can level them up to claim more land and unlock the ability to set more alters.
My suggestion with the land claim flags was each flag claims a set area to build in. Every 10 levels you gain another flag 6 max so you could have 6 smallish bases, one huge base or any combination.
Of coarse I’m thinking the way I build one main base and 3-4 transtone bases.
The best solution would just be active admin, warnings with explanations, bans with screen caps of the offense, and 3/9/12 day time outs before a public server ban.
I played through enshrouded. Still owes me 20 hours of play.
