I can hear them coming, to whine and complain about how laggy and down the server is...

4/11/2011 server down @ 3:16 est, instead of restarting it just crashed appearantly.

please server, come back with more mobs.

Im caught! This may actually be true. Classic has been smooth and stable, while survival is being thrown to the wolves, quite literally since those buggers make a ton of lag.

The lag spikes were still an issue before the wolves. Mob limiters were implemented to control it some but I think it's not limiting them like it was.

Server went down about 5.04 Pm AEST

A short while later the whole website went down, but only for a few minutes. I still can't acsess the server after 50 minutes.

The mob limiter was removed with one of the last updates.

Ok, so anyway. I decided to do some detective work and figure out what was causing the lag. So i got out my transparent texture pack, because that solves everything, right? I log into survival, look down, and see something in the range of 400 slimes. These could not be client side slimes as i had logged into the survival server less than 30 seconds before. And this was directly beneath terranobyl, so i can imagine most citys/population centers have this problem.

I didn't want to wander around with a trans pack to avoid any claims of hacking or whatnot but i think doing so might be quite instructive if that kind of slime count is common.

I have always wondered why when I go to Spawn City I get major chat (and any other kind) of lag! This would explain it! Lets hope this gets solved. My only question is: How are they there? Didn't we turn slimes off?

Appears to be down 5:48pm est

Hey while survival may go down alot, at least with the addition of creative we have more options.

[catsfuzz]

I am timing out whenever I try to log onto survival. 6:37 EST.
