As I said in the discord discussion earlier, I think that applying a reset regulation isn't the solution here. I perfectly understand how much of an inconvenience a reset can be to all those working to setup an event, DMs and players alike. At the same time however, the lag is a massive inconvenience to all those not attending the event, who are practically thrown into a limbo of inability to do even the simplest things like selling wares, or even going through transitions, let alone heading to any dungeons, and that for 3-4 hours. Sure, people could spend that period of time sitting around, telling stories, but to ask that of 50+ people every other day isn't going to work. Not to mention that some have only a limited amount of spare time to devote to the game and, if they happen to log in by event's start, they're practically robbed of the chance to decently play.
The lag issue is being looked into, or so I was told, so I'm confident this will be resolved soon enough. As I also mentioned in that discussion, most of the new arrivals don't even know that resets don't help, or that dropping/placing stuff all over the ground contributes to it. It'd be a good move to let them know, either with a forum post, or at the OOC area upon arrival.
