I realize I have no say in this discussion because I don't have a farm, but it does cause lots of lag for us non-farmers just trying to have fun and survive. If you really wanted to keep farms around but reduce lag, then make 100 stacks of melons like $1 in the market. I really think that automatic farms should be completely removed because it takes away from the survival aspect of the game. And to my knowledge, no farmer in the US is getting rich off farming. They can hardly survive off.

Sure I lost some investment but it will just mix things up and make something else "the most valuable". I am interested in how the newer players will save up for pstones. That could be the bigger issue but I have confidence that will get worked out. Adapt and survive.

We are going to add sell signs for pistons so you are able to recoup your costs to some extent.
I have no friends, I'm a loner.
Have you considered what non-moderator/operator/admin players think. You mean we're having fun with our melon farms. We have put a lot of time and resources into our farms. You say your minds can't be changed. So basically your saying that you don't care about your players. Ya know the players, the people who vote, the people who make the server popular. You all work hard on the server. How would like it if suddenly no one cared about what you thought and just canceled out about all your work. My farm is a manual farm. I put a lot of time in. I'm angry. If this post isn't seen, or is ignored; I will have lost all faith in opticraft: the server that was supposed to be the best in existence. Now we got the owners of the server not giving a crap about what the players think.PS: Stop putting the vote now message up on, we're not gonna vote if you don't care about us

Excuse me??? What do you mean we dont have to earn it? It takes weeks of work to BUILD a farm, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the resources we need for it. The cost of iron is through the roof and there isn't enough iron available on the map with all the dbags who use mapping software to mine. How dare you imply we don't EARN it.
Ok the biggest issue here seems to be the economy and CPU usage. So here is a fix for both.ECON: Make melons and pumpkins sell for half as much as they currently sell for.CPU: Put member world on a second SMP server (thus putting Opticraft on two threads instead of one), and modify the warp plugins to automatically redirect the players between servers, so if I do /warp memberworld then I automatically connect to the member server which holds the member map. Same for if I did /home or /tpa or whatever. If that location is in a world that I'm not in then it would auto-connect me to the correct server. The servers would share sql databases so their stats would be in sync.
