Rant and opinions on the hub!

[ThePikachuPro]

Recently I have been finding myself playing on US servers. Many of my friends like to join the US servers because they are more reliable for them. I happen to find an issue with having a worse than average computer and the hub. Connecting to a server directly (beta nub) is much easier for me. Ever since the hub implementation during deathmatch, it makes it nearly impossible for me to join directly. Most of you are probably complaining about how you should just use the hub. I am old school, and like to do things the old way. If I were to join a server when it was restarting and it was still in cleanup, I find myself already waiting about 30 seconds to even get into the hub, with about a 15 second lag spike. I do like the hub as itself but the way it redirects you, and the fact that players aren't hidden by default is quite a hassle. I would like to know if anyone else is having issues of the same kind, and or have any opinions that would like to be shared about the hub itself.

Normally, I find a server in DM, then when it ends, I wait about 10-20 seconds, then connect to that server via Direct Connect. Much simpler.

I think players should be hidden by default. Every time I join the hub minecraft freeze for a few second because it is overwhelmed by the amount of players.

The hub should still exist, and there should be the option of joining servers the old way and through the hub. This way the hub won't be as crowded (though it might still be packed, I'm not sure) and you can have conversations with people without being drowned in a sea of chat. Plus, it should reduce the lag[spikes] in the servers.

The hub is gonna be the end of MCSG in a few years.

It probably is. We're going to implement persistence with the hub plugin as soon as possible, but we've got higher priorities at the very moment. Basically, by persistence, I mean that you can hide players in the hub, and it will keep players hidden across all hubs when you login unless you toggle it again.

I have been a donor before, and with all of the servers now, it isn't going to help me join the servers. If I could donate to my own cause of having a new computer, that would be grand.
