If you're just doing INFO for example I imagine that doesn't strain the server too much, even if everyone in the game were doing it at the same time.
If however you're attacking a critter or moving through a room or LOOKing in a room with a bunch of players or items on the ground then yeah a script running through a hunting area is probably going to cause more strain on the system than someone manually walking through the hunting area as most people did back in the day.
Likewise back in the day even when there were ~2000 people logged on a lot of them were resting in TC, or chilling at a table, or talking with some friends at one of their private homes, etc. But when DR is on there are a lot of people who are just constantly spamming their attacks all at the same time, even if they aren't in the same room this is going to put strain on the server.
I would also imagine a company with the resources of Simutronics would have made some huge improvements with their servers of the decades, but of course that's just silly.
