i don't think the problem is the servers theirselves, i think it is F's internet connection. with all the money he gets from DS subs, i think he can rent a good server, with a decent connection at least. and we all know he can afford it too, unless F spends all his money.

Lol.. Read the Dev log for One, and he already has bought a good server. He's waited on releasing it.

It's the servers -the ISP used is fine. And you are mistaken if you think DS makes lots of money.

The servers can't cope with the massive amounts of data it has to calculate and then shift down the pipe to all of us. They're simply just not powerful enough. In early versions there was much less to do on the servers and much less going on, but since DarkSpace has evolved over the years, it's become more and more of a burder on the servers.
Last year Faustus baught a new quad xeon server (with pretty much all the money DS had made). I believe he's been working on coding it over to FreeBSD (not sure on the progress made, I've asked multiple times and never got a reply). Hopefully one day he'll just release it and we'll reap the benifits of the new server, but until then, we're stuck with the current ones.
But Faustus is a genius with the backend, and (god knows how), manages to release optimizations every patch for the damn thing, and they do make an improvement, it's just never enough to really noticable. Hopefully with the new code change currently in beta, we'll see the servers improve quite some bit. But only time will tell, so, until we get 1.484, all you can do is wait for Faustus to release the new server.
