The best thing would be to have full servers with people playing like normal. If we can start getting them full then I would expect the game experience to get worse and worse, but playing through this is where we would get the most useful data. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Our servers reboot daily automatically and I don't think we've observed these symptoms if that helps. Our graphs of the server usage (players vs memory vs cpu) show a slight rise in memory over time but not much at all. May be more obvious if we left a server online without rebooting it for a
