To try and cut down on the CTO's and such, a player limit of 12 has been set.

To help ensure free spaces are available, Players who are idleing will be kicked out by an automatic system run by Console.
(If you don't move within 2 minutes, you first get warned you are about to be kicked then if you still dont move you get kicked. Also, springs wont help you )

We have been runnin the server like this for a while and its has been going well, enough players to make the game fun while not becoming so bad/laggy.

Inregards to downloadling, all we can do is urge Jazz'ers to download the Levels seen on the frontpage news on Jazz2online.com. Console will also broadcast this url throughtout the game for people who dont visit j2o. Over time more and more people will have the levels in there caches so it should only get better.

Although we do understand that downloaders are causing games to hang for long periods of time, making masses of lag for everyone playing there is nothing we can do at present. Just hang in there even if you end up CTO'ing. The server should fix itself eventually and you can rejoin. We are working on a block that should stop people downloading tilesets from the Server (main cause of Download Lag) but it is unlikely that this will be finished in time for this Bash.
Please people, just download the packs and dont ruin it for everyone else.

At popular times when the Bash server is full, you may find overflow servers being hosted. Enjoy.
