Also, @JawJaw will this "multi village" start mentioned before be on the HP or Classic or both?
It could be done on on both. Both of them will get the more exceptional settings, the only difference being that HP will also have the new features (so things such as WT can be expected). In reality, HP will just be a fast regular world, but with a few combinations we wouldn't usually run on a regular world.
Personally, I would rather see these "inter-market Championships" occur on the Classic servers. As this would truly be the test of game skill without supplement of PP, surely it makes sense to market this title as the world to compete for. Else this just caters to the lower level HP players finally being able to compete for victory by spending.
This is something we can consider indeed when these championships come up. For now, it's not scheduled for before June. Which world exactly we will be using for it will depend on which of the two is available, but will likely be more 'classic'-like, and not have all the premium features. For now I have placed them under HP, as Classic will (to my expectation) run more often and longer than HP (so I expect the HP world to be more available for this, but it doesn't mean that it would have non-classic settings).
It might have been explained/understood incorrectly in the announcement, but the championships are entirely separate from the 'usual' HP settings with premium. It is just the world we would use for it. Noting, settings and premium features are set up on a per round basis, it is not related to the 'enc2' or 'enc1'. If we run a championship, we still have full choice on which settings and features to enable, regardless of on which world it will run on.
All in all, the High performance as you know it is unchanged besides a name change to 'Classic'. The only real 'change' here is that those
do want 'regular' worlds at a higher pace (and yes, they exist), now have the possibility to. This is from a technical point of view not possible to do on regular worlds (such as en113/114), because of how we organize worlds internally. If we want to do this, it
needs to be on a enc world. This is the only way we can arrange this kind of settings for our community.
