Unfortunately there is just way too many people on the server, especially with the covid-19 crisis. King camps can't support that amount of people. The autoclaim system is making things worse because the more you bring, the better chance you have at getting an autoclaim.
The server is close to 7 years old, it is now a server that is extremely top-heavy due to stagnation of the server. More people are entering endgame faster and faster, especially when people can just buy levels via dyna bubu leeching.
Unfortunately this is the truth right here. Server is way too top heavy and people are rushing to endgame as quickly as possible...or forced by greedy shell holders? Too many shells raging Nid that have lv74's, no sky gear, missing even basic Jeuno HNM gear, and missing Dynamis gear spending their time at Kings. I don't blame them entirely though, as Vik pointed out if there was Assault, Salvage, ZNM, Einherjar, etc...the server would be stretched a bit more thin, especially Einherjar. Most shells would probably abandon kings altogether in favor of that. But the server hasn't had any actual content updates (PUP and ZNM testing isn't content) in years.
My biggest fear is that the top heavy situation continues to swell until the game is literally unplayable, we're already there at Fafhogg; it becomes a waiting game of letting everyone wipe then last LS standing gets it. But as seen last night that's not even always the case because someone, intentionally or not, crashes the zone and starts the process all over again. We'll see what happens next I guess.
