Shops and lag.

So, as we all probably know, theres a lot of lag at the mall. Therefor i suggest to move it.
Make a big city thing, where people can buy plots, and build Good looking shops.
It will cause less lags, and it will be much easier to find the shop you want. Also, the more creative people can actually build great buildings which will attract more people. And the people who aren't so creative can pay/ask other people for help (this can make the economy better too).
That's basically it. I guarantee that a huge city will cause less lag than a big room filled with shops

That is a GREAT idea, though i would hope that the current show owners automaticly get a plot, or at least get their money back so we can pick a plot, and hopefully there are differant sized plots because there are already differant sized shops and stuff. then there can be things that are kinda like stands, so they are super small, just so people who cant afford a big shop can get at least a little bit of income from the items that they do sell, though if you have a stand i wouldnt think you would get access to the BM

Item frames will be wiped in a few days then, I'll make sure the majority of people have taken theirs down first and if someone hasn't been online during the warning period I'll put them in a chest for them.

That's nice. But even if that fix most of the lag i believe it will still be laggy (knowledge from OC). And the "Mall" would look much better if it was a city with nice houses that explained what the shop was selling. Of course some people would disagree because they've spent time making their shops, but everyone has to work hard in the life of Minecraft. And i do believe a City would be a lot better for new members too.

My personal opinion (not that in retrospect it really matters)

The mall is currently functional in its current state. It's laggy, but for me its a kindof strangle lag thats still consistant just a slow frame rate... so why do anything drastic. Item frames is a simple solution that may not completely eliminate the problem but slightly help it.

Does the lag make the mall completely unusable for anybody?

Depends on what fps on average you get in the mall. I'm averaging 5-8 fps.

I just had 1 FPS in the Mall. That says it all...

45 FPS
