People have been complaining a lot, it just increased to 175. I'm not sure if the server can handle 200 yet. After server sharding there could possibly be 250. But, remember this, the server has probably 500 people waiting to get on at the peak of the day in the U.S. We'll have to increase beyond that to have no wait time getting on the server.

Which would you rather, a server you can at least play on for a little while during the day, perfectly lag free, or a server with 300 people in it and you not even being able to mine a single stone block for 15minutes?

If possible avoid numbers (2 for too) for a better readability.

For the suggestion: We have increased it to 175 not long ago and yes, sharding will change it completely.
What causes lag?
Well, mobs do. Cayorion told me that mobs (hostile and non-hostile) use up to 70% of the CPU. So generating mobs (with spawners, darkrooms, hunting at night) does slow down the engine.

In normal use, with 150 players, we were at 10.3 TPS to 11 TPS. With 175 we usually were at 7-9 TPS. This is the average and can vary.

Correction: With sharding, we can have an unlimited amount of players (in theory), but the capacity depends on how many players are in one world. So there could be a player cap of 200 upwards for each world. (which should motivate some people to move )

Is there a statistic on how many mobs are loaded at once? That would be an interesting statistic. :3

On the point of mob grinders, players will always have mob grinders because it gives them an advantage over mob grinders. If only some people had mob grinders, then those people would be dominant. It's similar how because one country has nukes, almost every country needs them to be safe.

My faction have a mob grinder, but i thik it's over rated. You dont get any skill xp, you only get enchanting xp and even then it's just faster to mine and use furnance for xp.

I think there is. When cay newly fixed lag, we had the option on. I'll ask him if there is a statisitc I could show you guys (or not if it's secret).
