Okay professor, can we please do something about the people standing around doing nothing in the commons? it just makes the game lag. now when i walk through there i cant even change direction, or go through without running into a wall. i suggest we start disconnecting people who have been in the commons for 5 minutes. actively talking or not. because thats all they do. talk. Boys saying they need girls and girls being flirty. standing around there all day making other peoples connection bad is NOT playing the game like it should be played.
Thanks,
James BattleHunter

You can go to a less active server/realm.

You might also dial down some of your graphics settings to a lower level.

Players are already disconnected for being inactive over X minutes.

Sorry, it's not going to happen, and you know why? This is a social online game, and one that encourages multi-player battles. KI disconnects after a set time of no activity. Aside from that, there's very little they can do and still keep players.
Like colagada said, change your graphics settings or don't have the chat bubbles shown. You might also consider, if you can, playing during times when it's less populated.

yeah, that's what most of them do.

This is supposed to be a kid safe game, but a fairly large percentage of the people just hanging around at recall - the commons in WC - all realms - are using the game for online dating and things their parents wouldn't allow them to do offline.

The people who are here to play the game aren't hanging around on the commons.

DUDE. The Commons is basically the place where people like to socialize. BTW, there isn't a "correct" way of playing this game. Transcended wizards who have nothing to do like to chat, socialize, and make their time worthwhile. I'm sorry, but you have just wasted my time.

P.S. Yeah I'm transcended!!! And I like to go to the commons!!!

As Colagada has already stated, there is already a time limit for inactive players. KI is not going to change that to a lesser time limit.

Colagada has also given you steps you can take to reduce the lag in this area. YOU are not the only that goes through the commons and most of us have managed fairly well.

One more thing you might take a look at is running a cleaner the cleans out cached cookies and temporary internet files and doing a disk cleanup and defrag. THIS CAN DO WONDERS for lag.

If you don't like the Chat that is going on there, TURN OFF CHAT BALLOONS. By the way, sometimes, some of those people are friends in real life, but are separated by distance. This game is a good way for them to have a good time and chat. As long as the CHAT is clean, this should not be a problem.

How would you like to be cut out if you had to walk away from your computer long enough to to get something to drink or take care of bodily functions. I don't think you would care for that very much.

Ah yes, and we come to the smart people....... I totally agree, goldendragon18!!! This is what my friend Tiffany and I do (XD I mention her a lot cuz we are like sisters). Since she isn't in ANY (and I mean any) of my classes at school we get to talk here on Wizard101, since she doesn't have a phone.
Keep up the good work, KI!!! :D

you cant force people to do something they dont want to unless it is a punishment in this game. thats the disadvantage of having real people vs. npc's
