|~| Servers Slots |~|

Nearly 24 hours of the day, the server sits full at 80/80.

Yes, I am suggesting to expand slots. Yes, I am aware this costs money...

However, 90% of the users I see on the forums are Tier 4 5 and 6 donators, and as common as they are, should easily cover the cost of a slot upgrade.

Not trying to troll, just asking if it is possible. Don't reply if you have nothing positive to say.

This has been asked WAY too many times. They are currently working on expanding the servers capacity but due to Minecrafts software for servers anything over 80 causes EXTREEM lag. Rest assured that it is being worked on

It's not a question of money, it's the minecraft software. It puts the limitations on us.

Then why are other servers able to run 200+ slots?

All those servers do not run the plugins we use one for example Heroes. Also the servers with 200+ slots normally have a max of 50-100 players. So they can have the cap that high because they don't have to balance things.

Then why are other servers able to run 200+ slots?

Because they forfeit other things. E.g. WorldGuard, LogBlock and other needed plugins. They also have smaller map sizes and don't allow certain things (E.g. redstone).

We have an amazing collocation centre that houses our server, and the server itself has specs so high it once tried to send someone back in time to kill Sarah Connor, but the only thing holding us back is that fact that Minecraft SMP doesn't have multi-threading support.

There isnt a single minecraft server out, to date that has 200+ players actively, even if they did, any server above 100 players have habitual, constant latency with the tick degradation and sluggishness of monsters.

Will we be updating/changing things in the future to optimize more? yes
Have we already updated TWO server machines to attempt to resolve this lag equaling 3,500USD ? yes
Have you personally donated to help this server improve?

hmm...
