I'm not, but might set up a 2nd house further away in the future as I've now built a boat.

(p.s. Dowly, now got a compass so won't get lost again)

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe.

Right, Dowly tells me we have a new player who would like to join. In-game name is Valenorious, let's give him a warm welcome.

AKA Pisces in here. Or I'll respond to Valen for short, but that MC accountname was allready taken before me.

I'm trying to get my bearings in this place and find myself a lair. See you all soon.

I'm probably going to wind up calling you Van Halen....

[Arclight]

Indeed... we're hitting the limit quite often now though... I'll set it to 8, but I'd ask players to take note of any lag and let us know if it becomes worse.

[Dowly]

Also, might note that, if you see a chunk error that doesn't affect what you are doing, please do not reconnect, there's always a lagspike of varied length when someone joins in.

[Pisces]

I suppose it also has to do with how far apart everyone is. Then the server needs to keep more chunks in memory and the switching between players takes time swapping memory... /'know all'-mode off/

[Arclight]

The problem is bandwith, not memory. It's more related to how much activity there is.

Yes... didn't address that before because it's not really a demand I can make, but I'm sure other players would appreciate it if re-logging was kept to a minimum..
