This is a topic that has been brought up numerous times since the server launched....and to no avail. I've played on other servers where the drop rate is always "players 8" no matter how many people are in the game, and I still have not been given a definitive answer as to why this one isn't that way. As far as your PC not being able to handle 8 windows of Diablo II....its 2018 for crying out loud. My dinosaur Workstation for my job running windows vista and integrated graphics can handle it. If you are playing the game in windowed mode it puts a much higher strain on your PC. Always run full screen on all windows and simply alt+tab between them.
