C'mon guys, for the past week I've seen maybe four hours of up-time and twelve of downtime whenever I try to play for a little bit. What's the big issue here, and how can we, the users, fix it?

I agree with this completely! Although we have been asking for answers we only just recently got a reply from intelli. The problem was the day/night fixer thingumabob and he said it was fixed. Oh well. Not sure of server status but I am assuming it is up since only one person posted.

6:50pm est, survival is lagging up a storm and needs a restart.

Server seems to be down.

Another note, I think the server restart time should be changed from every 12 hours, to every 3 hours. I'm not positive, but I'm assuming the lag is because the server is not freeing up resources while it's up. Changing the restart time to 3 hours would cause resources to be free'd up before the lag starts. I could be completely wrong, I don't know much about the inner workings of Java, aside from the resource usage and garbage collection poorness. I'm a C / Python / Web development kind of guy.

Just a thought.

I would direct your attention to this thread and panther's helpful jpg.

I'm not questioning the connect-ability of the server, I have a solid connection when the server is online. I am concerned about what the extended server downtime is all about. Is this still the CPU issue Intelli was describing in another thread? If so, would purchasing a more powerful CPU unit solve this issue?

I've also seen systems running VMWare host Minecraft servers successfully in order to prevent CPU overloads, and I am curious to see if something similar would work in this case.

I have yet to encounter any downtime longer than 5 minutes over the past 3-4 days. Don't know what yall's problem is, but ive been on the server a ton.

Classic doesn't matter, so it's never down.

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.
