hi! welcome, and as always, it's perfectly okay to try out new servers, and gladly you landed on PikaNetwork!
i feel you, I'm also a premium Minecraft player so i got to try the best of both worlds, and some other servers like the one you stated get you an impossibly high ping which just makes it hard to stay, but to be honest i like PikaNetwork, not just cause of the ping but that it also allows you to play with buddies that don't own an account at all. this being said, hope you have fun!
that’s what minemen uses but the reason it feels like no hitreg is cuz mmc is strict like putting pineapple in a pizza (Hawaiian pizza) with latency they don’t compensate much for high ping so your hits just get rejected
