Enough said. We need a new server. The fact that we are using the same server as when the game first came out like 6 years ago and the average player count was 150. Player count has risen just a bit since then, only like 3000 people now. Along with all the extra people comes spammy guns, extra activity, and chat spam leading to an overtax of the server. Christmas day was particularly awful. The player count was up to 4500 and the lag was unreal. Staff were trying to host events and could hardly manage with all the lag. Seeing how in the past 6 years the player count has gone up so much, I'm assuming it is going to continue to rise which means we will need a new server eventually anyway. May as well just get it now. Tell unixmad to deal with it, sometimes you have to invest money to make money.
