Zing! Intelli just cut your idea in half in less then 2.5 seconds.
Oh I say yes they should be synced. Think about when ch2 goes public. Players may not always get back on ch1 to harvest there tree farm. It would have to go to ch2 so a person could harvest there trees.
Just my 2 cents.

*Edit- I hit no then changed my mind but I can't change my vote so yeah. My bad.

I said yes and changed my mind x.x

It's not worth constant lag just to grow a few trees. They are highly inexpensive to grow, so syncing should not be necessary.

And to those who say it's not vanilla enough, well it's only trees. It's not rare ores, and if trees are so easy to grow and/or find, then why suffer hours of server lag for it?

Please allow us to change our poll votes.

Thanks.

Performance > tree sync in my opinion. I get the feeling that lag has increased since the channel update and helpbot anyway so please don't add more.

Also, if saplings don't sync can't you get infinite trees? Just watch your sapling and the moment it sprouts jump to the other channel and pop the sapling up. You have a tree on one channel and a sapling on the other. Effectively, every single sapling planted becomes a second sapling the moment it sprouts.

Because duping saplings is going to ruin the economy.

Honestly that was the least of my concerns, hence its spot at the very end of my post. Also, considering the fact that the player would have to moniter every sapling and half the time they would grow on the other channel first, I don't think its a real issue.

The gate thing is a much bigger oddity, not because of its abuse potential but how cool it could be. It means that each channel is less a perfect copy and more an alternate dimension that is 99% the same but with tiny differences that a clever player can take advantage of. Its like you can create secret doors that only exist because of the slight de-sync between the channels.

I voted no. Honestly I think you guys are over thinking this stuff.

If they want to waste a huge amount of time they could use this very minor glitch but seriously.....chop down the tree and sticking a new sapling there would actually SAVE you time over this "Monitor Constantly" loophole.

And it's not like saplings are hard to get from the trees
Even wood isn't rare....you can even grow the stuff in the nethe......really

Come on, lets save the performance for something meaningful and let the few foolish enough to do it have their moment or triumph of using this "exploit" and be greatful they are busy doing that and not off bothering someone

On a side note:
SHOULD it sync, probably for "realism"...heh, Is it worth both Intelli's time and the server's time to do it....I'd say that's pretty clearly a no

Would this affect huge mushrooms? If so, then my vote is a definite yes. If not, then why is it that huge mushrooms are a different issue than trees?

My guess is that huge mushrooms aren't half as common as tree's, and wouldn't cause as much performance issues since huge mushroom farms aren't as viable as regular mushroom farms.

Voted no, would rather less lag, and 2x saplings, then more lag, and 1x saplings, not like saplings are worth much anyhow.

There's no easy way to sync tree growth, but it can be done.
However, this will result in a slight reduction in performance

I thought multichannel is going to help lag, if so then why is this a problem? Honestly it can't be worse then the lag as it can be now. If so then you shouldn't implement this sync then. But if the lag is gone then sync everything you can.

I build tree houses from natural grown trees almost exclusively. Unsynced trees across channels means none of my creations will look right. Please consider the building styles of others before voting this down.

[cloudtheclow]

At first I would have said no, but now that I've played on channel 2 a fair bit and had my trees there grow I must say yes they should sync. For wood harvesting there is indeed no reason for them to sync but I want to aesthetically place trees in my realm, which is very hard to do when they are different in each realm.
