Im pretty sure "we" as Players (or as potential costumers as unixmad likes to say aCHEM) cant do anything than talk about it really.
I mean yeaaah you could ddos the Servers for lets say a week straight and unixmad might think about upgrading them, bcuz with what would he be able to buy his bread if its not with our Money (im so sry) but after all its illegal and you can get 15 years in jail or more for that stuff so.
Yeah I dont think hes gonna do anything IMO since he does not really .. eh make.. you know ...he does not tell the playerbase anything about upgrading it so..
or I just havent heard anything in a while

That was gross

As long as players are playing, as long as players are paying, Toonslab (the company that owns Graal; does Stefan even pay attention to Classic anymore?) won't do crap. I have no reason to believe that Toonslab cares about anything other than money, and as long as they're raking it in, and the server remains "stable enough", with a larger playerbase than ever, things will remain as they are. If that playerbase starts to drop, and the money faucet starts to slow down, then you may see them start to act like they care, but as of now, it's all about money for the people on top, and hard work and dedication for the volunteers on the bottom (the people who actually make Classic what it is).

This was one of the reasons why i quit classic for ol west in the beginning of the summer the lag is unbearable somewhat unplayable and this with the guessing where bugs go is prob helping them make even more money b/c if it wasn't hard
Enough to make gralats other then the pyrat quest this lag makes it 20x harder which makes people spend more irl money on the game :P

The server is bassivlu unbearable after 4k players and it always reaches that point nearly every day at some point , especially in the summer. It might will be playable for some USA people by for someone like me, who is not in the USA , it is very hard

lol.

So today we reached 4.1k + I got booted out the server and when I try to get back on it says this

showing your speed DOES NOT mean your internet is stable

How do I check if it's stable ? I mean I run every other game I play fine ...
Also the fact that I can't get in the server is probably not because of my internet as I hear a lot of people have the same person

Can't connect for the last 2 hours

I was in te middle of a tourney and this crap happened

Its back up

It crashed from 4.1k-4.2k .... The whole server crashed and we get close to this number nearly every day with no special occasion

Had nothing to do with playercount.

I just assumed it had since it was barely playable already with 4.1k so I took an assumption that it did , so what caused it ? Also still need these server updates tho
