I have diagnosed the server's RIP problem to be caused by FM shops. To test my diagnosis, I suggest disabling FM shops for one day and see if the server RIPs. [edited for catchiness]
FM spots don't really matter anyway, the server is tiny compared to what GMS was. I actually sell stuff more often in like FM 21 and other "bad spots" than I ever do in like FM 3 or so
The server has had stability issues for a very long time. It hwd stability when I joined in august. People keep saying that the server will die due to the lag, so far there are no signs of that being true.
That's probably why too lol. People think that just because they no life the FM, they can rape people on prices
