General / Q&A:

• Trion has worked with XL Games to make changes to the servers and how they handle incoming requests to combat DDoS attacks
• Server merges are not being considered currently, servers are in a fine spot
• Server transfers should be free when possible, but currently the technology does not exist
• Bots report rewards taking longer to ship since bots are getting smarter and taking longer to be banned
• Considering limiting under construction properties (houses and farms) to two
• No plans to change labor regeneration, pretty happy where with it is now
• No stats on Library costumes
• No submarine anytime soon
• No current plans to increase family size, will discuss it though
