Admins please respond to this issue. I would really like to know an answer. (Has nothing to do with more gameplay or features)

Why has the lag on this server not been fixed yet? It really aggravates me at points when lag is always getting in my way. It's not fun playing a game that lags most of the time. It just takes the fun right out of it so, why can't you fix it? All I ask is an answer.

It's not like there is a variable somewhere saying "lag every player by this much" that the developers can just increment whenever they feel like being evil. Lag is a complex problem. While some may be from the developer's side, some can be your fault.

That would be the case if I

That would be the case if I had a slow computer. But, it's quite the opposite to be honest. I am using a super fast computer that runs everything extremly fast. The only time I see lag is while I'm playing this game. It's the server's issue is what I'm trying to point out. It' not lag in general that is the problem; it's the server itself.

Your computer would affect stuff like framerate and graphical glitches. Lag would be your internet provider. I have Comcast, which is stable 95% of the time, and then drops me 5% of the time because of... oh idk space radiation? When I say "some can be your fault" I didn't mean it's because of you personally. I meant it may be things that the developer has no control over.

It could be that they need more servers, but unless OOO gets more money, I doubt that'll happen.

It could be that they need more optimized code, but unless OOO gets more money, I doubt that'll happen.

Do you see a pattern? I'm not saying OOO is entirely blameless, I'm saying that it'll be more productive to think about what you can do to improve your connection, rather than ask OOO to do something for free.
