Apparently the authentication servers have been fixed. Why is Spout still mandatory?
Again, I like Spout and don't have big issues with it other than freeze frames. The majority have major issues. If we don't revert back to people being able to use Minecraft clients, I'm afraid the server will just die off from inactivity. I rarely find anyone to fight anymore, the majority of TC can't run Spout without heavy lag (and thus doesn't log on at all, and it's not just my guild. Many other members and towns are following suit.). Many are moving to other games now. We need to fix this. I'd love to see the server running Spout universally in the future, but it's not in the stage of development to allow for mandatory usage. Too many bugs still. And it's costing us over half our memberbase, and less log on every day.

Zidane Freeze frames are a universal issue, the screen and player entity will freeze anywhere from 1 second to 2 minutes. Auto-Death in PVP.
Also lag, 50+ % of people can't get above 10 fps with spout. Most people use Optifine, and Spout's performance enhancement does not do nearly enough to bridge the gap between MC+Opti and Spout.

The Auth servers were fixed by Mojang ages ago. Things still haven't bounced back.
