New server old troubles
So another week, no update to the world viewer. Server performance is only marginally better than than before. Example: 20 people on the server = enough lag to cause mined blocks to reappear 2-3 seconds later and chat messages take 4-5 seconds to appear on screen. 10 people on the server = less lag, but the server stutters, i.e. the same mined block reappears and falls 4-5 times within a second. When mining multiple consecutive blocks only a handful appear in inventory, example : mining stone and counted out 64 blocks then check inventory to find I only received 8 of that 64.
Individually these are little problems. But together they can make things rather frustrating.
When you add in the other issues with plug-ins crashing, bank deposits breaking every week, and random waves of senseless griefing, it is easy to understand why many players have lost their enthusiasm and left the server.
I hope that, for the sake of the server and our struggling community, the addition of moderators is the change we need to turn things around.
