RIZZASTERServer Lag Review

The server lag issue has been a recurring problem for several weeks now, with players reporting long response times, dropped connections, and inconsistent gameplay. An investigation by the moderation team revealed that the lag was primarily caused by a combination of factors, including high player numbers, outdated hardware, and insufficient server resources.
The team also discovered that the server's RAM was running low, which was exacerbating the issue. The moderation team quickly realized that the server's hardware was no longer meeting the demands of the growing player base. To address this, several new server upgrades were ordered, including increased RAM and faster CPU upgrades. The upgrades were implemented over the weekend, and players began reporting a significant improvement in server performance.
It's worth noting that the increased player numbers were also a contributing factor to the lag, and the team has been working on recruiting additional moderators to help manage the population. The moderation team is also implementing new strategies to optimize server performance, including regular server restarts and adjustments to server settings. The team is also considering the possibility of migrating to a more powerful server in the future if the current upgrades do not prove sufficient.
