    This last weekend we took a long look at Annihilation to determine if there were any lag issues. We identified three minor issues:

    1. Fixed a database query to be far more efficient.
    2. Removed a legacy plugin that was not happy with UUIDs. This caused players who joined the server to possibly lag other players on the server. This is now fixed.
    3. Further optimized and expanded the deployment system to give more free resources to Annihilation.

    Lag on Annihilation should no longer be an issue. However, please let us know if you experience any additional issues.

    P.S. We actually have six class ideas from the community submitted classes we are starting to work on, along with some general balance changes. :)

    This is great news for Anni and Shotbow as a whole. I'm glad it was figured out!!!

    Great news that new classes are in the pipeline. But will we ever be able to see enemy nametags again in 1.8?

    If Anni ever gets updated to run on 1.8 alone, then yes.

    Till that happens, its unlikely.

    March is cleanup month. We are making a lot of changes in the background, but also benefit from our development team growing substantially. Lots of fixes, additions to old modes, and even new modes are coming.

    Will you be adding a bunch of small games this time around? :stuck_out_tongue:

    We've got a couple new games on the horizon. We are more concerned with bugs and performance right now, with administration the other big thing we are hitting on. With all the new developers we have on board, we have more time to truly polish our existing modes and also develop custom anti-hacks. We've got our hands on the latest and greatest hacked client, so now all we need to do is find something automated that stomps out a hacker. We did this long ago with our kill aura detection (one hacked client even has a note next to their improved aura saying "screw you shotbow"), and we'll continue to automate the detection of hackers. We ARE growing our admins, but realistically, using code to find hackers is far more efficient than trying to have an admin in every server.

    I feel like things have definitely improved since the Weekly Arrow started coming out. I'm just hoping it continues.

    Also, has anybody ever solved the Lag chunk problem? I only ever play on one other server (you know, the big one) and I still haven't ever had that exact issue there.

    Can you describe this problem exactly? I'm happy to look into this.


    Please also describe this in full detail.

    These are two things that I've heard mentioned before but I've never gotten to witness myself or been given a very detailed description of what exactly is happening.

    Basically I'll play coastal in Anni and at some point I will be stuck and unable to move for 30secs-1 minute. People called it a lag chunk error, but I don't know if it is or if this has been addressed already.
