P.S. I will chip in £20 in about 2 weeks.... I have a wedding to attend this weekend (my own!) Grats! Regarding the money stuff, that is really good news! Obviously we'll need to further discuss it and nail down some details, but it makes me happy that people DO care lol

Well I think the general consensus amongst the other players is that they wanna keep the current map... I THINK I know how to reduce the lag a bit... I'mma go to Monkey's house and turn off his mass fabricator, seeing as it's just making UU-Matter that spews out into the world >_>

I'mma go to Monkey's house and turn off his mass fabricator, seeing as it's just making UU-Matter that spews out into the world >_> It's a combination of things. Largely, the server's physical location is near the western half of the United States. That right there is going to put a lot of players on the short end of the stick. Another big deal is the map size is nearly 1 gig (960megs last I checked) which will cause some lag. ESPECIALLY if there's a ton of chunk loaders laying about. ----sidenote---- Even if the map size isn't contributing as much lag as I think it is, we are so close to running out of space that all it would take is just a few more weeks (if not less) to max out the rented space on the server. At which point we would have no choice but to refresh the map anyway. I was looking into setting up a world border somehow to force players to stay within, say, 1000 blox of each other or something, but then I didn't know if there would even be a server so I put that on hold. Bottom line: world size isn't something we can ignore for very much longer. And, if I may be frank, it would be better on our new players if we switched sooner rather than later, lest they become attached to their creations like myself. ----------------- This was one of the things I wanted to talk about in the google chat lol

It's because the machine that the server runs on also plays host to other minecraft servers run by other ppl.

Well the new group completely leveled a mountain, and are fairly solidly on their way... I know they said that if the server ended up coming offline, they'd at least like a copy of the map

How much would a 2GB plan be?

How much would a 2GB plan be? Well, for the first time in a while, I actually have good news! I just checked to see how much it would cost to get up to 2gbs of HDD and they've updated their hosting plans. All plans now have unlimited disk space, so no need for a map reset. I will, however, still leave that option on the table because a map reset would result in better performance overall. I'll leave it up to the players who show up this weekend. Here's the site I host the server through: www.peak-hosting.com/index.htmlWe're on the skeleton plan.

I can almost definitely tell you that they're in favour of keeping the current map... They leveled a whole huge frickin' mountain to build their base of operations, so I think they'd be a little miffed to lose that... Plus, if we keep the map then anyone that used to play, if they come back still have a home
