I played for the first time on the 1.8 server today and the first impression I got was "Holy crud this is laggy."

I genuinly don't believe that I have ever seen mor ethan 40 or so people on the server but there was about 50. What I am suggesting is that we lower the player cap by a SIGNIFICANT amount. I mean putting it down to 30-40 or something. THis would reduce lag by a HUGE amount as I really don't think this server can support 100 people at once. It may also reduce the number of griefers as alot of them are new player/Guests.

Have a long think, then decide.

just wait for this to come out:

New server will not cause this lag. It should be up in the next week or so.

So theres no point changing amount of players allowed to join x
