MobAIThread and MobRespawnThread both ran `while (true)` around a sweep of every
zone with no delay at all, so each of them pinned a full core for the lifetime of
the world server. Measured in the container: 195% total CPU with
tid 229 aiThread 106% of one core
tid 231 respawnThread 106% of one core
and nothing else above 1%. The 100 ms check in the respawn loop only throttles how
often a mob may respawn, it never paused the loop.
Both sweeps now run at a fixed rate (AI_TICK_INTERVAL_MS / RESPAWN_TICK_INTERVAL_MS,
100 ms by default) by sleeping the remainder of each tick. MobAI.DetermineAction
already gates individual actions on timestamps (lastAttackTime, nextCastTime,
patrol delays), so pacing the sweep removes the busy spin without changing the AI
behaviour; raise the constants to trade reaction time for CPU.

Magicbane is an emulator for the long dead but much beloved Ubisoft MMO, Shadowbane. The project was founded in 2013 with the concept of free availability of gameplay; players unencumbered by any factor other than a desire to again play a game they once loved. A game where the developers do not play is guaranteed to be the fairest game.
The Magicbane Team has wanted to open source Shadowbane for half a decade. We are excited to now finally have the opportunity, along with some new technology, to truly democratize Shadowbane.
- Written in some 80k lines of Java 8 and bash.
- Project with real infrastructure; Production and development servers supporting multiple containerized apps.
- MagicBox container technology enables instant deployment and trouble free development on modest hardware.
- MagicBox plugin capability allows for new and interesting player experiences.
