Maybe spigot would be a good idea it doesnt do anything ingame it is more a version of craftbukkit or something added to craftbukkit to stop lag

Ok, well now Ive got a different outlook on the situation....First plugin to go - MyPet =P garbage really, who needs pets to play real MC. I thought Agharta was going to be vanilla style for the most part anyway? Go ahead Dragoness, Get rid of them plugins! xD

Ultimately, this is ineffectual. Players will build AFK pools or keybind movement actions, so all you'd end up doing is irking a few other players with much smaller farms.

Furthermore, I built said farm for Ron; we share the one farm. None of the other farms cause lag at all, even locally.

Good news, everyone! With Elite's help, we seperated the gold farm and storage system by a few hundred blocks. This means that they won't be activating each other, and as such limiting any lag that may have been being caused. It's currently believed that by afking at the gold farm caused the storage to be active all the time, causing the lag. Since we have seperated the two, multiple players have rejoiced at a lack of lag, and we've seen a 20%+ increase in spawn rate

This however is an excellent suggestion; during one of my breaks I was staff on a PVP server that regularly had over a thousand people online, and during a update, spigot had not been updated by their developers so was not compatible with the new version of MC. The difference in lag was phenomenal.

As much as I love myPet, this is also a valid suggestion. I don't feel it would impact lag dramatically, but it certainly would decrease it.

General free ways for you to reduce lag at your own end (click the link):

Jetboost

CCleaner

Razer Game Booster

Defraggler

Optifine

Assign more RAM to Minecraft

Clear your Prefetch file

Set Windows to 'best performance' mode

As for me, i know I have an great internet connection that never fails. I run on a Dell xps that performs dual monitors swell until a lag spike on agharta. I can tell you it is not private computer settings, router settings, or internet connection; its within their data center as stated in a previous post..

Thank you admin for taking these suggestions and applying them---we appreciate e your work.

Also, Adam and Ron, dint mean to hate on you two, but you guys were surely aware causing some lag.

As I've stated in the other active lag thread, Hasn't this issue been addressed in multiple threads in the past month?

Jared the whole point behind this thread was to get active brainstorming for solutions, which this thread is doing. We are not trying to attack or beat a dead horse but we truly do enjoy Agharta and want to be a part of the solution. It is working, multiple things have been changed to try to fix some of the lag (Kudos to all admin and mods who are giving their time and effort to support this cause)

There have been other complaint threads and I hope you can see this is not one. Yes there are issues being addressed but in hopes of finding constructive functional answers.

Keep this going DTE, EMT, Adam and the many others who know how these systems work and have given valuable input.
