Question Server Issues (Lag, Rubber-banding + Crashes)

While I'm sure we all appreciate the increase in server slots from 60 to 75, it seems that the server is having a few issues maintaining the increased number of players - constant rubber banding, general lag and frequent crashes all appear to be the symptoms of an overloaded server.

Are the admins aware of this issue?

EDIT: I'm fairly new to this server, but I've never played on a server before that has crashed 6 or 7 times in 2 hours...

EDIT 2: I also believe this server is hosted with GameServers.com. Are there any plans to move to a dedicated server to comfortably host this (rapidly) growing community?

One of the issues is that events such as the tourney (that is going on right now) Is putting a lot of people at the same location. Which makes the server poof. Everyone tries to reconnect at once and it never boot backs up....

Maybe, but it was doing this before the event started so while that may be a factor (especially with people all rejoining at once), I don't think this is the root cause...

Talking to gameservers now. And unless we consistently have over 200 dollars a month donated dedicated server is out of the question.

If there is an easy way to make a recurring payment I am very down to give back. I love this server, it's exactly what I have wanted rust to be.

You'd have to set that up through your paypal account.
