How to reduce client lags with big online?

[sahar]

Hello,
I have a pvp server which has alot of small areas where people used to pvp.
Because of big online in small areas people were facing client lags.
I would like to know what do you think can be done in order to reduce lags in such cases?

Personally I was thinking of removing effects when there's more than ~60 players in a certain place, I already know how to remove the broadcasting of soul/spirit shots, but I would like to know what else can be removed to reduce lag?

You might try a voice command to:
- Enable/Disable Soulshot/Spiritshot effect.
- Enable/Disable skill animation.
- Enable/Disable buff animation.

Do you know how to disable skill animation in code? and what do you mean by buff animation, isnt that the same as skill animation?

Why you started another thread with the same issue ? Somebody in the original thread asked you already about your HW specs... avoid to create duplicate threads...
