Why does Survival have the least amount of slots?

[Helpful Fox]

For the number of people online, this game mode seems to be lacking in slots. Is this for resource management or something?

If you think about it it's perfectly logical why. The amount of land that has to be loaded in and the types of things you can do in survival is way more than what happens in kit an skyblock. There are way more entities and laggy stuff in survival than in kit. Skyblock has the advantage that a lot of the land is air, making it better for servers to host.

this could be why but i thought that the max number is lower cuz survival is the least played game and it costs invaded more money to increase max number of players.

I think all the servers are optimized to hold the max amount of people they can. No point in not having max slots even if it was less popular and rarely filled.

um, I disagree, I have a screenshot, and survival had 69 players in-queue (nice) while skyblock had 14 and kit had 18 or something like that. So upping survival slots by 25 would be good, too.

Go back to december/january when survival had 10-30 players. Also more players == more lag. Stop asking for more slots when the server already lags.

correct me if i’m wrong but wasn’t that when reset was announced/around the corner?

I wonder if there will be a temporary expansion to the player slots during the Covid pandemic, which resulted in nearly all US public schools to close for the remainder of the school year. They're probably going to have summer level traffic till September.

Staff members have already upgraded the servers and taken what measures they could, and they can't do much more, because of the reason stated above.

I think slots already went up and again more player == more lag.

Not necessarily. They could temporarily compromise by lowering the server's render distance. There are many options, that they might be considering if they were to increase the count list.

but they increased kit pvp slots and there is way more lag on kit pvp

but they increased kit pvp slots and there is way more lag on kit pvp

They likely did an upgrade to the server, maybe even a big one.
