Can you please fix the server server sim allocations for the Linden sailboat race course
that runs through Hepurn, Hahne, and Jasckle sims?

If the Lindens are going to place starting lines and bouys in water sims for sailboat racing, you need to keep the servers for these sims from being overloaded, or these areas are not very useful.

To fix a race course spanning Hepurn, Hahne, and Jasckle, simply put these sims on the
same sort of two-sims-per-class-3-servers you did for the Linden sailboat race course the runs through ANWR sim. The course at AWNR is much more reasonable than the 8+ sims you have on a class 3 server for Jasckle.

Background:
Monday, a group of us discovered that the starting line in Hepurn was hopelessly
slow, because there were way too many sims on the class 3 server where Hepurn is. IMs to live help produced Red Linden who gave me a hotdog and seemed to shake the right trees so that over the next few things improved somewhat. Now Hepurn is on a class 3 server with 4 sims, which is still too much, but better than monday. But this race course goes through Jasckle sim, and that is on a class 3 server with at least 8 (!) other sims that I just verified: Elderbridge, Henshaw, Jasckle, Murray, Odezia,
Hanshin, Joseon, Jabiwon and possible two more (T.Mainland2, and QA.Mainland4)
that I did not bother to verify. Hahne is on a class 4 server with 15 sims...

Please don't tease us by putting out the equipment needed for races and then
inflicting overloaded servers on the race course. I'm happy that the Lindens are making some of the water sims more useful, but please finish the job, so that more than one sailboat can race on your race courses at the same time.

Thanks!

I heard a few related inquiries about this. I've forwarded them to Cyn and Stephen Linden, as I'll do with this. Thanks Pixeleen.
