1.18 should be lots of optimization server side and adding many built in features for anti lag. It should also introduce more built in anti cheat systems. Anarchy server's current options is 1.12.2 and there has been 4 (major) updates since then. The problem was 1.13 adding lots of stuff for the ocean [Without much server side optimization], 1.14 was meh 1.15 was small but came out faster. Then here comes 1.16 and 1.17 both really big updates worsening the situation even further. It would be alot easier on servers just to switch to 1.18 and get it over with, additionally 1.18 should include a partnership with the creators of optifine who's 3rd party mod has been the standard to get more FPS and/or make your game look better using its advanced features.
TL;DR Some servers cant move to the latest updates due too high resource usage. Though nobody wants 1.15 again so who cares?
