Calder,

You are completely correct in your description of how the problem happened and what caused it. While I agree with you in some regards, I definately don't agree that there is little or nothing that Corrupt can do to fix the problem.

With the way the game is played at present, there will always be a mass flood of server traffic from the one-thousand-and-one players who try to make that "last minute jump" to get a higher spot.

However, there is a simple solution that would take little to no time to program and would merely take some adjusting for the players to get used to.

Two session ago I suggested, in the appropriate forums, that they make the end of the session occur at any random point between 21 days and 18 day of game time. Let the clock count down to the 21 day mark and then let the game so into a sort of "Sudden Death" mode where you bust your ass all the time cause the session could end at any moment.

Making a simple game change of this nature would result in one of two ends... either the servers would constantly be spammed by everyone that wants to try and win, possibly for as long as 7 or 8 days, depending on actual end time, OR people just continue to play, no one sits around waiting like hundreds of other people for the final 60 seconds of the game cause no one knows when that final 60 seconds will occur.

Simple plan, simple fix... Corrupt have any comment on this possibility??
