LOTRMod wrote: Why do people actually use plugins? Beside the commands and nicknames and all the 'cheaty' features like the /tpa, is there some reason so many people seem to consider them so necessary? Do they improve lag or something? Plugins like Prison and Hunger Games and Factions provide extra gameplay, gameplay types that are well established, while worldguard, multiverse allow to do things well beyond the scope of Vanilla. I am not a fan of Vanilla multiplayer, and find that factions especially provide the extra functionality needed to make a server truly fun. Plugins are often more than necessary and operate MUCH better than server-side mods. (latency wise) Plus, server side mods are not as well supported and are few and far between.
