“The servers are good. The queues between 4 PM and 9 PM are annoying.”
— jan · verified review“The servers work well with heavily modded modpacks for the most part. The 3gb of RAM (memory?) is the largest problem I run into. Some downtime with the ques are also a bit annoying but managable. setting up the server initially is a bit confusing. I wish there was a 'profile' type thing were we can have more then one modpack for the server and toggle what ones active or not, because if you want to swap mods you potentially lose your server world if you dont back it up / change it to single player by copying the world file over to your instance.”
