696 people and it's overcrowded? Get new servers SE.
QFT, that's kind of pathetic.
I'd like to see your computer handle 669 people sending and recieving data all the time
I've actually noticed my lag to as much as triple ever since this update...
never before have I gone R0, on my internet connection at home, in whitegate...never...
and all of a sudden, it's lag central, big time....

everyones gotta remember, this is just ONE AREA. Theyre still sending and receiving data from hundreds of other area's on dozens of other servers. Seems pretty normal to me.
don't zones that have no one in get "shut down" for as long as there isn't someone in it? (that would seem to help performance.. though I don't really know for sure.. not like I've ever made or studied programming and such side of an MMO)
