Mabs, the lag wasn't serverside, I was monitoring the resource usage and it was fine - nobody else had any problems as far as I can tell. I did notice your ping spike to 100+ a couple of times - perhaps a random network issue.

I'm more than happy to play hardcore (and to be honest that server hasn't really been playtested), so maybe we can try and arrange something on there next time. We only played normal today because that's where people were to begin with.

For the moment though I'm just happy we can get people using the servers - we had 16 again today. I'd like to see one server full with the other semi-populated - that's the next goal.
