That's a thing that happens a lot when there's tons of players in one
place, I guess it's meant to reduce lag etc. It absolutely sucks when
you're questing and can't see anything that's more than 10 yards away
though, argh! combined with a quest for mobs with a crap spawnrate
anyway and an unusual level of cooperation has suddenly developed,
people actually quickly forming 5-man groups for that particular quest
;-)

The difference between servers, on mine, questing is very much the
slow way to lvl, I think, my progress is virtually nonexistant, takes
10-15 mins per *quest*. Once I finish the chain I'm on and unlock the
flightpath, I'm going to try a dungeon I guess...
