I was just wondering, why did the server revert to 1.7? I'm not complaining at all; I'm pretty glad that this happened. I would just like to know why. Was it because of the excessive bugginess of 1.8, or was it something else?
In 1.8 they changed the lightning engine for the water, which causes a lot of lag. Due to the server being really laggy from this, we rolled back to 1.7.
