not gonna lie, I don’t really get it.

So normally, you handle packets in a single thread? Then when it’s time to update, you handle updates with a thread pool? Doesn’t sound too bad, should provide a decent speed boost on multi-core machines.

The biggest bottleneck by a fair bit is the player updating loop (updating all the Lists of playersInArea, objectsInArea, itemsInArea etc) and it looks like you’ve managed to solve that so good on you. I guess as long as the game data is read only while you’re updating players all should be well.
