Ok this is the situation I'm running around I can see the environment fine, but when it comes to NPC and Players they suddenly appear in front of me, sometimes they appear 20 yards away sometimes 10 yards away.
This is ruining my entire game play.
Please, please, please help, I love this server but can't like this anymore.

Yes I was about to make a post about this. This is really annoying me today questing through stv. All of my video settings are maxed and this is the first time I have experienced this being on this server (2 weeks). Is this a network configuration problem or a server side problem?
(latency is good)

It's a server-side feature. It lowers the servers resource usage, which is neccessary with the current player population

Was this just recently implemented? I can't even track anything as a hunter because mobs are only trackable within like 10-15 yards. It has not been like this in the past week.

Sad to think server quality is what they are taking away from to support the playerbase

I assume things like find minerals and herbs are useless now? Kind of a bad trade off in my opinon...

It's been here since the beginning, but they only use it when required. I remember it being used before the server upgrades, when the server used to crash several times a day. After the upgrades there were fewer crashes and so they increased the view limit. Recently the server has been crashing a lot, so I guess lowering the limit is their fix.

I wondered why I was having such a hard time leveling my mining, makes sense.

I would also really love an input from the staff here, because the situation as it is right now is (almost) unplayable, specially when it comes to PvP. Most mobs I see when I'm running on my mount spawn withing 15 yards... Same goes for players. I understand the need for this measure on extreme peak where too much lag is involved, but it should come back to reasonnable limits as soon as possible. No lag or disconnect issue were hapenning when there were 5000 players or less.
