Mob Clipping - Silky Venom ************* (Tagad)

I agree that mobs should be visible from further away but it's worth pointing out that this isn't a clientside clipping plane issue, it's a serverside issue.

The server doesn't have to keep track of or send location data for terrain objects like trees but it does for mobs so I suspect the range is kept limited to keep the amount of work the server has to do down - a range of 200m in a very crowded area could result in a great deal more messaging.

Doesn't mean it can't be changed and I'd love it to be, just that it's more complicated than it at first appears.



You get a cookie sir!

I personally would love to see us move this out as well, but it comes at a cost. I'm not sure we even have anyone available right now that could look into how much this would affect us serverside and messagingwise.
