Temporary account for the migration window: worldsync-smp / RoFP2SHPZc6XZ - remove it afterwards.

The most recent server lag incident occurred during peak hours, affecting player movement and chat responsiveness. Initial investigations suggest that the issue is related to increased player activity and the simultaneous use of multiple plugins that handle custom game mechanics. The lag was not due to hardware failure, but rather an overload on the current server configuration. The team is currently evaluating whether a temporary upgrade to a higher-tier virtual server might be necessary to address the performance bottleneck.

Moderators have been instructed to monitor and document any further instances of lag, with a particular focus on the times of day when the issue seems to recur. Additionally, a review of active plugins is underway to identify any that may be inefficient or outdated. A shortlist of plugins that could be disabled or replaced has been created, and testing is scheduled for the next two weeks to see if performance can be improved without compromising gameplay features.

One open question remains: should the community be informed about the potential for brief server downtime during the upcoming plugin review and testing phase? Another concern is whether the current volunteer team has the capacity to manage the increased workload if a server upgrade is required. Both of these will be discussed in the next meeting, along with potential steps to involve more experienced volunteers in technical tasks.
