The lag is not getting any better. It has been lagging very bad since ToH or even before it. And I've noticed heRO's average moving from 60ish to a steady 100. And it goes as high as 150+ (161 at one point) during WoE.
The easy and obvious question is:
Do we need to upgrade?
Yes
The hard and vague question is:
Can Panda afford to?
Please answer this and clear my doubts.
If she starts paying more from her pocket, she will suffer on a financial scale. Despite the donations made by people (Even though Panda still managed to save a nice sum of money in case we needed to upgrade). Someday that amount will run out.
Running out of money and having to pay a lot for this new host out of her pocket might either:
- Cause a lot of stress to Panda.
or
- Push Panda to alternate methods of raising money (Such as the new donation-services).
The second option will of course lead to:
- People whining and objecting to Pandora's ideas of raising funds --> No money to host anymore --> Server closing OR Going back to the current laggy state.
OR
- People accepting the fact that better donation rewards are inevitible and are a must --> Overpowered donation rewards --> heRO joining the ranks of other "If you got money, you got the power" RO servers (Not PRIVATE RO servers only, OFFICIAL ones as well).
----------------
Up to this point, we all know it for a fact that heRO is the best server because we have this awesome admin <3 Panda, and our balanced donation system.. Will upgrading to a new host effect either in the future? It's a big risk to upgrade if it will :\
Do I want you to upgrade?
YES T_T Mvps are abusing the lag to kick my butt
But I am afraid of what I mentioned above..
