Hey guys, and welcome to my first blog post on PMC!

So recently, I was playing on a faction server I found not long ago, and I was walking around with decked-out diamond gear. Then I saw a Zombie coming to attack me, so, you know, I got my sword out to kill it. 

Then everything froze.

In 20 seconds, it unfroze, and I was dead. And that's when I quit that server. So today, I'm gonna go through a lot of the problems with servers. Enjoy! :D

1. LAGGGGG
This is the most common problem with servers in my opinion. You might be a expert PvPer, but you could get slain by a noob easily if it's a laggy-as-hell server. (Or a baby zombie.) So please, if you own a server and the players complain about lag, invest in more RAM.

2.Destroyed faction world
In big faction servers, the world will usually have already been completely obliterated, so starting out will be absolute hell, and eventually the server will probably die out. So if your faction server is resourceless, I would think about a world reset.

3.Bad staff
If your server's staff is abusive of their perks, you need to fire him/her right away, or players will start to leave. Everyone wants to be staff, but not everyone's fit for it.

4.Hackers
Hackers make games unfair. I've seen many servers which hackers have been reported with solid proof, yet the owner didn't do sh!t. If there are hackers on your server, you need to treat them like a virus you need to wipe out.

And that's the end of my first PMC blog post! If you enjoyed, drop a diamond and subscribe! I'll see you guys later!

Cheers,
Radiant

EDIT: Yes, after a lot of comments, okay, RAM dosen't matter for lag. My bad guys.

3 Problems with the comments;

1. RadiantGaming have posted most of them.

2. One of them are a really noob-comment, pretty much everyone gets a diamond in the beginning just because your skin/pack/blog/project is uploaded.

3. One of them just shows that you did not expect 150 views on your "blog".

Don't think i'm white-knighting or anything.. but I struggle to find how radiant gaming posted most of the comments to this blog post by him. All I can see is that he REPLIED, as in did not comment except for two comments, which is not even half of the comments directly to the blog. Also, Not everyone gets a diamond on their first post, you made a speculation, but I do not even hint as to how to made such a assumption. (Also if your wondering as to why I jumped into this, disputing is a hobby of mine, so don't take anyting I say too seriously.)

We own a server that we host ouselves and not by a cheap hosting website.

for your things:
#1
Our lagg on our server was just because we didn't bough an SSD yet, now we have and even modded servers don't laggy anymore. The ram was always set to a max of 7GB and starting with 4. Internet speed was 100/100 average.

#2
You can't do anything about it. but older factions who still have bad ass homes will ask if there buildings would be copied. That takes time to do in a world thus many server owners don't reset or their player base goes down.

#3
Be your own staff, never get random people to join. Aka get more friends to be moderators.

#4
instal anticheat on your server, that may lagg but no one can make that better.

Nice blog. I agree with you about some of these things. Thats why my new server that im opening soon has found a way to elimanate those 4 issuses while still running the factions plugin. However ive taken it a step further. We run a modified Factions Plugin with mostly Custom plugins. Aslo we have no staff and have given that power to the players. We run a very powerful dedicated box to just minecraft and on top of that to prevent faction members from betraying one another, players in the faction have there own plots. I recomend you check out what we have and see if it solves your problems. Its called ThemFinickyGods.
