You’re bad at math. Your guess of how many pieces to complete the file was way under and the forum visits needed was way over. You obviously didn’t read my whole post, you’re trying to compromise for your sucky ideas, and the same damn thing extended 5 minutes does not make for much load on the server. 12 visits maximum remember? Stop trolling GD and go back to “GETTING SOME ACTUAL WORK DONE HERE PEOPLE.”

Simply is right on with the load. A forum which is 100 threads (or infinite as others have proposed) will cost many times over the server load of the general 5-20 thread forums we currently have because each visit will be a significantly larger amount of time spent loading new threads, playing out the battle, generating a reward, etc. E.g. the part of your daily play that is most intensive on the server. Think of it this way. Currently, a player may require loading a max of around 90ish threads per day per character purchased. With your forum, a player will now have a max of 400ish threads per day per character purchased (At 4 visits, obviously a stored 12 visit is 3 times as much). On top of that, it has a powerful moar file to encourage folks spending hundreds of visits there, which means at least for some time (and possibly permanently) there’s a group of people always doing it. Which is rather different from now as none of the most thread expensive forums are hosting very interesting moar files.
