Increase in official server slots.

[Capittann 007]

I suggest that the administrators of the official server to expand the slots on the official server, as now it is almost impossible to enter the server because of the influx of players. As an option to make a queue that players can wait to enter the server. If the expansion of the official server is costly, I suggest that the admins made premium subscriptions and so on that players with premium to enter without queuing.

I doubt its about the cost, rather the lag - just like any other game a large ammount of players = lag, and the only way to prevent this is to build a super costly high-latest tech gen server with the best parts and maintain it yourself, the part of maintaining would be easy for them, but building such a machine is like SUPER expensive, the only other option is to turn it somehow into shards? But since there's no world border and it's not mini games that's also impossible, IG we'll have to do with it for now, if anything maybe open a second official server for new players? Even if just temporary and have it close when the influx stops (or the influx never stops and the second server stayes on forever?!) And just keep release the save file to the public once the server closes?

Я сумніваюся щодо вартості, скоріше щодо затримки — як і в будь-якій іншій грі, велика кількість гравців = затримка, і єдиний спосіб запобігти цьому — створити надзвичайно дорогий високотехнологічний сервер покоління з найкращими частинами та підтримувати його самі, частина обслуговування була б легкою для них, але створення такої машини є СУПЕР дорогим, єдиний інший варіант - якось перетворити її на осколки? Але оскільки світових кордонів немає, і це не міні-ігри, це також неможливо, IG, нам поки що доведеться це зробити, якщо що, можливо, відкрити другий офіційний сервер для нових гравців? Навіть якщо лише тимчасово та закрити його, коли приплив припиняється (або приплив ніколи не припиняється, а другий сервер залишається назавжди?!) І просто продовжувати випускати файл збереження для громадськості, коли сервер закривається? 

There’s an option not to create a "super server" by using fragmented multithreading of the server core. For example, the server could handle tasks that create high loads, like chunk loading, in a multithreaded way. This has already been implemented in Minecraft server cores, allowing for multi-core servers capable of hosting hundreds or even thousands of players. I’m not familiar with the server system in VS, so I don’t know what’s under the hood there. But multithreading could efficiently distribute the load. Plus, as I understand it, the game is written in C#, which has no issues with multithreading at all.

The issue is how to divide a world going for milions of blocks, best they can easily do is in 2 or 4, but I think it will be very technically difficult + it would probably require a load time moving from one server to the other
