EMC right now has a lot of players on, due to winter holidays. They don't need to add more servers because this is an unusually high load.
So, not only do I get kicked for afking "too long", can't connect at all now... Decrease town ent count, let us online! haha(yes, I realize if I wait a few minutes and continue to try, i'll get on... but does that mean the poor sap who just Disconnected won't be able to get back on?...)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *Stops using darkroom for the remainder of the Blizz Ard* those evil things caused my darkroom to be exploded 4 times so far!!!!
It would be nice if the teleport signs can also go directly to Waste NORTH or Waste SOUTHWEST or something like that. I have a build in Frontier North but I can only put [FRONTIER] on the sign and it usually doesn't bring me to the right one. Ya, I'm ultra lazy.
The cap was 60.... the whole point of lowering it to 40 is that based on how Minecraft/EMC players has evolved and the actions they take, the servers can get under too much load with 50 players on. 40 was about the cut off point I found the servers started to have performance problems. It's not like we chose a random number just to inconvenience people. To raise the cap over that we would have to start limiting gameplay in some ways.
