Why not make it a full MMO, while you're at it? Hogwarts Legacy 2 could be the WoW-killer we've been waiting 20 years for!

This seems fine? It's not as though the current reservoirs are fully enclosed or anything that would prevent animals from relieving themselves in the water. As long as the end product is clean who cares?

Never stopped masking, thanks. I would say I'm glad to be vindicated, but no, this is terrible actually.

Up to 80 per cent of people living on arterial routes in urban areas did not own cars, with most of the pollution being caused by motorists driving into and through their communities.

Also, it's hard to negotiate when you don't trust the other side to keep their word.

That sort of thing should be a self-correcting problem to an extent - when performance drops, people will (hopefully) move to other intances. Also, a well-managed instance would stop accepting new members before it go to that point.
