Opticraft SMP Server

[D00MKNlGHT]

hmm i only have lagg while using windows xp, the day i asked opticalza to close my door, other than that windows 7 and vista works fine, try not to open classic at the same time though...

[omaroo2]

chat is fine but sometimes while moving i teleport
and also i cant destroy blocks :S

When 1.8 comes out, will we have BETA CREATIVE MODE worlds?

If we have redstone, I'll probably spend my time designing those ridiculously insane contraptions that use up all the server CPU

[Nick3306]

Optical said something about keeping the classic server as our creative server, but you never know.

If beta becomes creative then who will play classic?

If beta becomes creative then who will play classic?

People who dont buy the game

[Mr_Mr_Mr]

I like classic better when building than beta because I lag less on classic.

[tylerhan2000]

I personally find a rather large amount of lag on the Beta Server, I have quite a good connection and my ping isn't THAT high, I keep on glitching back and forth, I walk forward 5 steps and I'm back where I begun. repeat.

Lag doesn't happen to me as often as you guys but you have to remember that optical is using a cheap host until he gets everything situated.
