The new event manager is now live. This will allow us to space out events more and reduce overlap. This should help server performance and allow us to start adding more events as well.
Animal AI should be coming back on as well, though only new animals that spawn in till the next reboot will have AI. After the 5am reboot, all animals should have AI again.
We will of course be monitoring these changes closely (mainly the AI) and will update them as needed.
