40 Players max Options

[Bobdummy]

Hello

SM is a great server and much fun fore sure, BUT:

As soon as the numbers of players increases, everything/everyone is lagging.

To the server host and the admins: I propose to limit the number of players to 40.

The lag is obvious and the admins notice it.

Most people don't complain. Maybe because they just want to play without thinking to much. And hey, thats fine.
But I know there are also a lot of people who are not happy about this. I hope they are on this forum and support me. I don't know if there is already any topic like this.

I just registered late night because I want this to change! Can't leave it untried.

Someone remembers the OA server? That's maybe an example.

So: Why not just do it? The rest of the people will join a classic or TO server and everyone can have fun without to much lags.

Good night everyone

PS: This is not meant as an offense! There were some missunderstandings today. Sorry bout that, I'll work on my expressions.

Hi Monkeyfiend,

how can someone not see or feel any difference? I already notice a difference from ping 80. Yeah, maybe I'm just very sensitive.


No, we don't have to live with that lag, if we all would be willing to change it. It's obviously not working well with more than mb 50 players +. If people leave, it lags less. That's a simple observation and this point is certainly more important than the few US/SA players you mentioned.

In the last 7-8 years there were a lot of other servers where people from other countries with high ping joined. And you know what? Only they lagged. It's probably the big number of players which causes this problem in 1st place.

Ofc, it's not the past, much people left the game. That is a point for sure. But I'm sure, if you change the actual 64p server down to 40p, people will still join and play the same way as before. But you say that's your experience. Can't say anything about that as you know.


OA worked a long time. What do you think are the reasons it died out?


Yes, do the vote in with your clan members. I'm sure that you, MonkeyFiend, have no influence on their opinion at all.....

I think a lot of players would not even care if you would change it.

C'mon SM members, give it a chance! You will have fun with 40 slots! There will still be epic fights! With less lag! So EVERYONE has something from it!


To test a second server with 40 people is a funny suggestion from you MonkeyFiend. As long as the 64p server exists simultaneously, people will join there. They are used to it. But I think you know that aswell.


If nothing of this works: What about 50 players? Or when did you do that? It's not the past, so maybe give it a try again. Do you think people won't join then?

And again, this is no offense. I just use direct words here and there. I know you can deal with that. Just saying in case. Missunderstandings happens so fast nowadays.

Have a nice evening.
