So in short, all the users have been merged to 1 server.
Hmm, if cutting down on servers, that can be a tactic to get all ppl to 1
server.
Question is, if a server is logged into a account, and then sometime later gets
another account on the same IP, does that get the entry to be updated on the
client, or will if another IP logs in (later/after that same IP gets populated
with a new server) it be moved to that new IP?
