Lag in Private Banks

[Doreagarde]

I know a lot of our region capabilities are down at the moment, and we're working on a fix, but ever since the "sanctuary" areas went down, there have been a lot of mobs spawning in the underground private bank area, right under Sanctum. Their moaning and hissing makes visiting banks excitingly creepy, but also terrible laggy, which is to say that FPS(Bank) ~= FPS(Normal) x 0.05 on my poor, pitiful laptop. A creeper actually managed to spawn itself inside my private bank, and while I thought it was hilarious and its explosion didn't do any irreparable damage (even if it did, whatever, HC is hardcore) I can see how explosions in the private bank areas could be a problem.

The slowdown is the big problem for me, though. Is there anyway to get rid of the mobs, and to prevent them from spawning again, apart from getting "sanctuary" running again?

We'll be looking into this - at the moment theres about 50k torches placed in the banks (areas not being used) to resolve the mob spawning issue. This may be why its lagging more for you.

Sometimes I see the Torch Planes as I teleport in (the lag slows down the teleportation process), so it's easy to tell you guys tried to anticipate this. Thanks for giving it thought

I'm wondering if you will get less lag if you replace some torches with glowstones, as they don't have animated textures on them, might help.

Solution to mobs in your donor bank: place 10 torches around it.

This. Glowstone would work way better than torches on lag.
