    By Path-finding, I mean the "auto-avoid obstacles to reach target/npc when you click", NOT the /where or /pathfinding commands.

    Not sure exactly how much it will help reducing the server load, I am not even sure it's a server-side or client-side process...
    I would imagine that when a lot of people doing ground-pvp, a lot of processing power will be spent on the path-finding algorithm.

    If it is client-side, then this thread can be closed right away...won't help at all.
    If it's server-side, then by all means, I think players can live without it, especially if it helps the servers' smoothness.

    It would be nice if some dev can tell us if skipping path-finding will truly help reducing server's load.
    And if it will, how much better?
    Will that help making server more stable/smooth?

    Woah, can't imagine there's actually people who can't live without pathfinding, even to the extend of comparing such a menial feature to the existence of mob and skill.

    Or are you guys even know what I am talking about?
    Again, it's not the /pathfinding, nor the /where. It's about auto-maneuvering when you move by clicking the mouse...can't live without it? *Gasp* People nowadays...*marvels at how we survived through the universe of MMO ever since UO*

    You spoiled brats! :p

    Yup, as I said, I am not even sure whether it's client or server side.

    So, in Aion, path-finding is done at client-side? Brilliant...hmm...then why Lineage2 isn't? Blah, maybe it's because L2 is older XD
