How about adding factions?

Quote from Hatchet Haro

There are quite a few issues I found with the server.
The first one is the sheer LAG. I don't know if that's because the host needs to 'warm up' or something. Maybe it's because of...
The anti-XRay mod this server has. If I'm correct, most of the stone in the world which is not touching an air block has is turned into random ores, obsidian, planks and mossy cobblestone. Every time I try to mine a wall out, beneath is shows some ore, I suddenly get excited over the diamonds, then it turns into pure stone. This always makes me disappointed. I think that the amount of block updating this mod has is one of the main reasons that the server is extremely laggy. The EdgeGamers server also used to have an anti-XRay mod, but it works differently: ore that is not touching an air block and not within 8 blocks of a player was turned into smooth stone until someone gets near. Maybe we can use that instead. I believe it would greatly reduce the lag caused.
The anti-cheat mod/thingy. It's crap. Due to the lag, I ALWAYS get these stupid messages that I'm mining too fast, placing shit too fast, and occasionally get these messages that if I continue to cheat, action would be taken. I once got kicked. Seriously, we all have to place shit fast at some point, such as building, planting crops, placing many torches at once, destroying leaves with shears blah blah blah. Having that damn 10 second cool-down before I can do more shit is too damn inconvenient. I suggest tuning it down and only detect if players break solid blocks too fast. It would make the server actually play-able.
These are just my opinions. Feel free to take it as seriously as you like.

I agree with the lag issue completely. At first I thought it was just cause I was Skypeing as well, but then I tried with all my programs closed and it was still terrible. I could only get 6 spruce wood before it became night. As I was running away from a zombie and a skeleton I kept being pulled back. Where is this server actually hosted from? Cause it may just be the distance.

I changed to a host I've used before back on 1.7 and 1.8 without issue, I've already contacted them about the lag because it looks like they're only giving me half the RAM I'm supposed to have which could be the reason it's so slow. I figured the lag last night was due to Dynmap rendering the whole fucking world which takes a lot of CPU and RAM, and I figured the lag would go away by this morning, but it doesn't seem to have done anything. All the "issues" you have are a result of your lag. Given the server is hosted in Canada I'm not surprised some people will experience little glitches, but it shouldn't be this much. I doubt it's because of the anti-xray because I've been using it fine without lag for years. EdgeGamers also uses the exact same plugin I do. The anti-cheat is going to stay because I don't trust certain players after a few incidents on previous servers. As much as it may suck while there is lag, I'd rather not risk cheaters. Once the lag is fixed, it's likely that this plugin will return to being accurate, or perhaps I may search for an alternative that isn't so overbearing.

I'll add more RP stuff once we build more. Right now I'm kind of disappointed because people are treating it like they would a single player game by walking thousands of blocks away from other people and building by themselves. This sort of means that rather than having actual communities that would benefit from something like factions, we have individuals that probably couldn't give less of a shit.

I'm considering reverting the server back to my old host because at least with my old host there wasn't this many problems. This was supposed to be an upgrade but now it's just getting annoying.

Hope this problem will be fixed soon, the server would be so much better without lag c:

Edit: Some fucked up shit is going on. Moving blocks are destroying my house and hitting me D:

I'm experiencing issues with the anti-xray thingy again. This time, I'm positive I was not lagging, but somehow this happened...

Is there X-Ray vision on this server? I've never seen gold, diamond, coal, and lapiz luzai in the same spot before..

It's the anti-xray plugin this server has. It stops cheaters who wants to use xray to ruin the game for us. And since I have an extremely high ping, it affects me too. That wall of ores and stuff is actually stone with a temporary ore ID. Apparently, if it is touching an air block, it should be stone, but I'm guessing that this is either a bug or my own high ping.

It's because you're so far away from the the server.

I would love it if Jeff was epic and gave me a shit ton of stones or food so I could finish the castle I started lol.

I'd give people creative if they would build fantasy themed towns and shit with me to make an adventure/rpg map. In my experience though whenever I give people creative they build something retarded giant and/or ugly and then get mad when I say that it doesn't fit the theme and ask them to remove it. Like once someone said they were going to build this awesome platform that I was gonna love and I told them to make sure it wasn't unsightly and fit the theme of the town, they ended up building this giant dirt and log path ABOVE the town that shrouded everything in shadows and just looked terrible. Then when I asked to remove or move it they flipped out.

I wouldn't do that to you personally I love creative and I'd be down to make some dope shit with you, sir.
I like building artsy stuff rather than cobblestone and wood plank houses. And above all else you know where to find me if I make something unappealing to you and refuse to remove it lol.
