K. I think people don't understand that we're losing players because they want to play on more recent versions
I don't mind, because I'm banned until Friday, but if this makes the server have block-lag again, then I'll get banned again, but this time it's not the mods who ban me
It might not be, but you still have to kill animals and stuff. Also, there are other features of 1.9, such as player pushing and other things that make playing in 1.9 terrible.
For one, was this added to org? CypriotMerks if I am not mistaken you once were dedicated to working on org, now where has this gone? No shop sale, None of this, and No mob disguise? It says on the org website they should get mob disguise if they purchase a package and they don't? And also it says something about a kitty cannon if you get overlord and yet again, there is no kitty cannon. Org needs to be updated, or removed. Second of all, The server gets around 50 players a day or 100. Most of these players are donors, I'd say around 55 of these players. I don't think having 55 extra entities for every step taken would be good for lag.
Moving the server to 1.9. will benefit the server, because of the new blocks. For those who don't like 1.9., they will be able to log into the server with 1.8. just fine, because there is a plugin called ViaVersion which allows players to join a server with multiple versions. Just had to point that out for you.
