Hi! Third post here. I am nothing if not full of great ideas.
It should be possible to reduce lag in the market in a number of ways, but the most major issue (especially for new players) is lock visualize.
I propose one of the following:
1) Disable lock vis by default outright
2) Disable lock vis when teleporting to market via use of a quest.
3) Intelligently disable/enable lock vis when entering/exiting the market. (keep track of a players lock vis status, disable it when they enter market, re-enable it when they leave ONLY if they previously had it enabled, do nothing if they had it disabled.)
The other big issue is entity shadows but only the players themselves could actually control that, so, perhaps a message telling them that if they encounter issues with lag, they should disable them.
thanks
