12 hours you say? thats strange because I was on within 8 hours of you saying this and I had no lag whatsoever, though noone else was on with me, but it was like the good ol' days for me...thought this might be worth the mention considering all the lag i've had recently
Also, just done another ping test with your server and guess what...137 average! :O considering recent tests that's light speed!
Well the server was doing pretty well, till someone went to spawn shops. The all hell broke loose. Pat... MAKE A TEMP SPAWN TILL NEW ONE IS MADE.......... People are going to keep going there, and for new users its not a good first impression
