Weather suggestion.

[Joshua Coalskull]

I should just save my reply to this and save time for the future posts of weather:

Unless they seriously upgrade their servers, the game will NEVER be able to handle the strain of weather. Simple rain will cause lag (or at least slow down) on the most empty of servers. Weather is one of the most resource consuming features on all mmos.

If they add weather or not, they need to upgrade their servers, perhaps with built in processing power? That will solve all the Lag problems.

I like the idea! We need something to challenge the way we sail and change the conditions. From Joshua's reply, I think it would make it easier for Disney to make the rain a giant transparent picture over lay that covers the entire game but not the HUD. For example, one picture is made of rain and one or two other rain pictures are made differently and switch between the three making the effect its raining (Like the Skull flames of the icon over the Game Master's name switched between three pictures.)
