    Why does a damn fork have the same budget AS A FRICKEN MOONGATE for crying out loud?.

    Because it's NOT about size but object count. The only thing caring about an objects size and visuals is your graphics card, for the server it's always "1" item it needs to remember and reposition every time someone loads into the house.
    I'm but a sarcastic beef jerky. Irony and cynicism are my parents. You've been warned.

    It's all 1 and 0's. A fork and a moongate are equal. If there is a hard limit to the number of slots some could be reserved for smaller objects, but they wouldn't increase the total of slots.

    Stacking identical objects in the database might enable more items to be included. But again 20 identical moongates and 20 identical forks will take the same space.

    Sort of makes one wonder how much longer the moon gate is going to remain in that category.

    I originally had the feeling it was intended to be about the load it places on the GPU, not the server. In this case, I am not sure how they arrived at their decision. Assuming it is not a mistake.
