Bug type: Content

Brief bug summary: Flag Race in Bera, specifically the Night Snowfield race at 9 PM, 10 PM, and 11 PM UTC crams every player attending into Channel 3, rather than dispersing all players throughout multiple channels.

More details:
A few patches ago, Flag Race was bugged in that accepting the invitation would either not work at all, send you to Evolution System, or correctly send you to Flag Race. After this was fixed, there was one issue that remained, where all players attending the Night Snowfield race in Bera would be sent to Channel 3, rather than being spread out across multiple channels. As a result, dozens if not hundreds of people are sent to the same map, causing massive lag and/or channel crashes. A few observations have been made about this:

1. It only happens in Bera, and does not happen in any other server (not even in Reboot)
2. It only affects the Night Snowfield race, and does not occur during the Daylight Snowfield race at 12 PM UTC or the Sunset Snowfield race at 7 PM UTC.

A similar issue occurs with Sharenian Culvert where multiple guilds will be sent to a single private channel if running simultaneously (covered here).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Attend the Night Snowfield Flag Race at 9 PM, 10 PM, or 11 PM UTC.
2. Observe the large number of players being crammed into Channel 3.

Character name: GreenGales

Character level: 260 (applies to anyone though)

Character job: Wind Archer (applies to any class though)

World name: Bera

Date and time of the incident: April 6, 2021 at 9 PM UTC (5 PM Eastern Time) (but this has persisted for a few months)
