Why should this lobby be the SG lobby forever? Having minigames with unchanging lobbies should not mean that Survival Games has unchanging lobbies. Survival Games is the big thing. It is the title of this website and it is what 95+% of people come here for. Making sure that people enjoy Survival Games as opposed to the other three minigames should be the #1 priority. If it means changing the lobby, then do it. Believe it or not lag puts people in a really bad mood.
And quite honestly, this lobby is crap in a lot of people's eyes. Especially newcomers. They look up "minecraft hunger games," then click on this site. Then they see the list of servers, and go and find the server pertaining to their region. They type in the correct ip and log in. Boom. A ghetto, super laggy lobby with a bunch of "rule signs" and "pro tips" that aren't actually pro tips. No can do. My 10 seconds of MCSG are up. Bye.
In regards to the comment about glass looking really bad, that wasn't the point. What I meant is that we need a new lobby that does not have fence post borders, or the ugly void for borders. (Void is ghetto.) It should also lack partial blocks. Notice that you get the lowest fps (3 or 4 for me) when looking at the main building in the lobby. That is because of all the trap doors, cakes, stairs, slabs, and possibly glass are difficult to render and light correctly. People who say these things do not cause lag need to take a look at a computer that is not a gaming computer. They really cause lag, a lot of it. The parkour is meaningless when you are gettings under 10 fps.
I'm sure we can change Chad's mind on this. We have before. Could we start a petition?
