I don't know about you, but part of what I liked about SMP was being in a world populated by other people at the same time. Did the server system requirements skyrocket or something, from the days when we had 10-15 people on at once? Though the popularity has gone down some to where we wouldn't have 15 people on at once even if we could, it was still nice when we had that.
Don't know if I'd like an SMP where we have to take turns, and when we're on, only a couple other people could be on at the same time.
Not Ragns fault or anything, just a rhetorical gripe. Would be nice if Notch spent a patch development cycle on optimizing server memory and bandwidth usage.
