Everyone I know has been experiencing really bad lag on kreatious Survival over the past couple of days.
We have quite a few options on what to do with this but I know three main ideas including one of them going out at all costs.
Idea 1 - Less Plugins
Plugins can create lag on Minecraft servers as you all should know. In my opinion kreatious has too many unused plugins such as the easter plugin, that I assume is quite a laggy plugin. removing some useless plugins could create slower lag but this will not entirely change lag.
Pros - Will create less lag, but not by a huge margin
Cons - Will get rid of less plugins, but keep in mind that these plugins will be useless or hardly used plugins
Idea 2 - Shut down server for a couple of days
This can be done with zerg and his console, how ever this may not make a difference in lag on the server and could perhaps be even worse for the server not being able to keep up with it's self. This one is more of a risk also annoying players causing them to quit.
Pros - Could intently bring the server up from the lag grave
Cons - Loosing some people due to this and being pissed off due to this shut down & could not even make lag better at risk
Idea 3 - Map reset
This is something that cannot just be discussed by this post, this will need to be something that the mods and possible veterans of the server will need to have a good discussion about. A map reset will surely solve this lag but it will come at a grand cost. For this if we do lead to this after a suspenseful amount of time with this lag I think there will be a lot of questions raised about this. What will happen to our items? What type of spawn will we have? How long until the map comes out? This is something that we will have to discuss as a server with voting down to veterans and staff.
Pros - New start. Solves server lag
Cons - People leaving due to time spent on 1.0 map, Stuff we have built has gone (stuff in chest may be able to be saved since zerg can just code it to like what he did on the 1.8 transfer to 1.0) & getting new items for the spawn and people raising a lot of questions.
*This Idea 3 will only come into consideration if lag isn't fixed over a long period of time*
