Popularity

I've been away for a while and since then the New tekkit has come out. I ran a very successful anarchy server thanks to manually stop-gapping a lot of the lag causing builds and the ability to blow up spawn. However, since December the server has been offline due to me being on college. I would like to inquire about the popularity of the New tekkit vs tekkit classic. Is tekkit classic generally not played anymore, or is there still a large user base.

A Good way to increase popularity is to follow the rules.

I don't see how I'm not following the rules. I'm not trying to increase any popularity, I'm simply asking if Tekkit Classic is still popular despite the fact the new Tekkit is out.

Then I suggest you go read the forum rules (you clearly haven't)

It's a minor violation but it's there

Oh, post signing. Sorry, I've been away for a while and I'm used to signing my posts elsewhere.

I preferr Tekkit Classic more.

There is still a good number of people playing Classic, as far as I know, but I just don't actually see a point in sticking with the old. The new will only continue to get better, while the old stagnates and falls to bugginess.

I'm going to have to figure out all new ways to stop-gap all the laggy builds and exploits then since you put it that way. Unlike the majority of server owners, I greatly despise having to block placement of certain blocks, crafting of certain items, and the like. With Classic I patched the majority of issues and lag causing builds without addition plugins, and I'd like to do the same with the new. If anyone can point me to any resources having known lag causing builds, exploits, and the like affecting the new tekkit, it would be greatly appreciated.

We have been running tekkit classic for a year or so now I have just started running the new tekkit server for the last week or so and I can't say that it's all that popular I personally don't like it much not as a main server anyhow!

With so many other mod packs out now it has some stiff competition I get users from our Feed the Beast server saying things like "is that all its got"

I also have people wanting classic back

I am also searching for solutions for problems that are going to inevitably occur without much luck so far except for banning items.

I am seriously looking at Tekkit classic with all fixes and some extra mods thrown in to spice it up a little after all our current classic server runs unassisted for weeks on end without problems and users appreciate that they can build without constant map resets.

You may very well find a good niche with an anarchy server but have you thought about a custom mod pack? Including things like Turret mod just a thought.

One other thing to consider is with tekkit 1.0.6 being so new it may be a non stop upgrade headache as well with bug fixes and so no

I haven't done a comparison with memory usage with old vs new tekkit but it is not overbearing like FTB it is quite lite so you won't have trouble running it on the same gear as classic
