Also dark sea ain’t ever getting instanced for one simple reason
Hunter watching as I sail straight off the map into a never ending sea, making them physically unable to catch me as I escape with 0 risk:
Make Fort Castrum a server instance + Other add ons

Functionally I believe it would help optimize the game for everyone if that shit was just separate
It might be some waves and a few islands but my ping gets worse the farther I go out
And an instance, which wouldn’t change the contents of the dark sea, would fix that?
Noble phantasm will never catch me!
(Because I blocked the entire clan lmao)
It probably would since I’ve noticed my ping was higher around islands close to the dark sea to the point I saw some structures generated
As for me going farther out less things to generate is easier on my potato laptop
The real reason dark sea shouldn’t be an instance is because wind mages lose their instant win card
Fair point 
I dislike the idea of a separate instance for Castrum, but I consider it a necessary evil for the sake of my old MacBook.
I do think you have a point. Having a teleport prompt when simply sailing near and island would absolutely break the immersion.
But maybe another way, similar to Arcane Reborn or Adventure Story where at the entrance of the fort you can queue up to enter the fort after you have weakened its defenses.
To be honest a nice addition would be the NPCs getting teleported back to where they spawned after 2 minutes of not receiving or dealing damage
So, basically, this suggestion having one aspect you don’t fully enjoy completely invalidates the numerous benefits for both the large amount of people raiding fort castrum and those having to deal with the problems it generates for entire servers in its current state? Yeah, makes sense.
ADVENTURE STORY MENTIONED (full sentence)
stocksounds is gonna say “its highly evidenced that an instanced server is bad” or something
