Is awesome. At first I was skeptical, because it DOES go down, traps suck, when the server cpu runs high (R.I.P. lag!). But in the wee hours, mobtraps will be stuffed. Sorry for doubting you Intelli. Buy yourself a Big Mac and a half gallon of gas with my donation :P

I find that mob spawning is weird. For 30 mins, there will be NO mobs. then, mobs will be spawning all over the place. I personally liked how the mobs spawned before the update, but I guess it's OK where it's at.

It's certainly been interesting.

Prior to the recent update, each mob trap was designed to produce roughly 400 - 500 items an hour, based on the latency of the server and the number of players online and around the mob trap itself. Two traps were placed underneath oceans, supposedly to increase the rate at which mobs spawn, and the other two are beneath our realm.

Between 4AM and 6AM this morning, the four mob traps in Minas Tirith were cranking out around 300 items an hour.

Checking back periodically later in the day, I was producing -maybe- 50 items an hour from 9AM to Noon from each trap.

In the past two hours, From 2PM to 4PM, each trap was producing between 10 and 15 items an hour.

Not sure whether or not I like this change.

I hope it is fixed soon because I need to get gunpowder. Also, I want arrows from skellies. It also is really bad that it is fluctuating like this, one second you think it is safe, the next ten creepers come from behind and kill you.
