So, I'm relatively new here, but the following statement is based off of the impression that I got from playing for about three days. Throughout the majority of the time that I play MapleRoyals, I get lag spikes every two or three minutes. The server seems to d/c everyone out every ten minutes or so and everyone seems to get pissed off about it. For me, the game would just end up freezing and I'd leave hoping the issue will be fixed, only to come back to the same glitchy, unplayable game. This problem isn't apparent all the time, during the first thirty minutes of when I started playing I had a fun time getting my character up to level 10 and do my first job advancement, but for the remainder of the time, it was just an endless cycle of disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, reconnect, and so on. Considering this server is ranked third at Gtop100's "Maple Story Private Servers" list, and the first for 0.62 GMS Private Servers, I figured the server is getting enough traffic and revenue to afford the proper equipment to ensure a high quality experience for any new or old player. I'm sure that the staff is aware that the server is increasing and is getting more and more traffic (as is apparent on the front page! http://royals.ms/?page=news&id=134), and if that's the case, wouldn't it make sense to improve everything on the back end? Three new GM's have been recruited in the past two weeks, so in terms of moderation, the staff is increasing for bigger crowds of players. But what about stronger servers? I'm not going to outright leave the server because of this problem. It's not that significant and I'm having a lot of fun playing! But it is defiantly noticeable, and I'd appreciate any type of improvements. tl;dr make lag go away pls ;-;
This thread is being made every week, and every week someone has to explain the OP that the server specs are fine. It's the old source code that they work with that is extremely inefficient and causes these lag spikes / freezes. They are working on a new source code and will release that once it's finished. Until then we have to be patient.

As is being said, and will be said, once the new source comes out, it is our hope that these issues will be a thing of the past whether there is 1 or 10,000 players online at once.
