I was kinda shocked that a rookie only server performs so poor:

Im sure that even wooza is performing better than this shit.
On top its a server hosted by

Im sure that every new player who end on that server will have an "awesome" time shooting warping enemys.

Thats NOT the way to go if you want to improve player retention.
Please fix it also known as SHUTDOWN ASAP.

Edited to remove the naming and shaming parts. While I agree it should be fixed, and thank you for highlighting it - You know how to reach this server owner easily.. so you could have done that instead? -Iron

    To be fair, most rookies won't notice performance issues when they are playing the game for the first few times... Still, that's a bad introduction to the game :]

    The will notice and blame it on anything but the server, and then leave.
    Ive seen plenty of rookies make the same mistake until I pointed out the server was bad, in the past.
    the server = any server which is abysmal.

    No, it's not that server - and there's no need to guess or discreetly spell out which it is, as it violates our naming and shaming rules here in the forums. -Iron

    A server that would easily be my fave if not for the unplayable lag.

    I've talked to the server owner and since his servers usually performs without problems it's obviously a temporary problem that I'm sure he'll fix.
