So during FTH today while waiting the 5 seconds it takes my CA's to cast I got to thinking, what would help alleviate some of this lag. It's generally seen that after a server reset the servers run best so why not go back to daily server resets? This helps alleviate some of the lag due to whatever is causing it and should make raiding more enjoyable for all. Considering the servers have been up for over a week without a reset the lag is getting fairly rediculous and as much as I would like them to never have to reset the servers the fact remains that with the current hardware the servers really do need to be reset daily or at the very least every other day.

Thoughts and opinions on this?

It is a workaround but not the solution to the problem.
If the server's memory clutters up (memory leaks etc), you need to fix your code. It is a bug, not an obvious one like a zone crash, but it still is one if the longer the machine is up, the longer it takes to execute stuff.

Alos, if a server's (I'm talking a so-called "zone server", no matter how many machines that actually is for an instance of a zone cannot handle 100 players in a zone without fucking them up, there's nothing massively multiplayer about the game.

Server restarts are a plaster for an open vein. They will slow down the bleeding, but they won't make it stop. As the game continues to grow and is still in development, you cannot possibly settle for this solution, from a coder's point of view. Server restarts every night is the kind of stuff that MS advises - you never wanna go down that road. ;)
