Way to Reduce lag + New donor perk

[TheRandomMan1000]

Those of us that have been MCSG for a while probably remember back before the servers reset. Rather than getting kick when a game ended, we were sent back to the lobby. This was removed for 2 good reasons
A. It made it nearly impossible for new players to join the servers during lobbies.
B. To clear out "Ghosts" from the server.
Seeing as it seems* that ghosting is fixed we can go back to leaving servers online. I'm not sure, but I BELIEVE not reseting the servers will reduce lag. I DO suggest one large difference - Non-Donors are still kicked after the game. This way, new players still have a chance to join, and Donors, VIPs, Mods and Etc remain online.

Another good suggestion from the random man me loves

Uhh, I'm against this. AU is literally crowded with Donors and seeing this makes me cry.
(Plus, ghosting isn't fixed, people are still ghosting, I had to get a Moderator to kick the ghost in a game yesterday)

Good to know Like I said, I was unsure if ghosting was fixed

Brilliant idea

I've never experienced the restart, but it seems like a good idea. Me like diz.

For those of you who don't know, you can fix ghosting by doing /gf or /ghostfix

But most people don't realise they're ghosting, so they wouldn't do this generally

If you see people walking around and you can't hit them, or if you're unable to open chests, break leaves, pull levers, push buttons, etc., then you know you've ghosted.

Yeah, but a lot of newbies would have no idea whats going on, and wouldn't do anything

I might start a thread explaining ghosting, if anyone checks the forums.

If you think the Australian servers are bad, come check out some of the US ones.
