I would think that a better method might be to load each zone seperately (which is dnoe anyways I think) and then write idle'ing code that would free the memory from those zones except it would keep some sort of list of the available room numbers in memory (only the rooms would be idle'ed out because you'll need the objects and mobs for players' objects and maybe charmees and whatnot...) Just some more thoughts on the matter. -- Alex "Spoon!" -- The Tick
