What is it about DDO between 4 and 7am Eastern Time that the game just does some of the weirdest ****, lags out with merchants, can't reconnect, people 'appear' link-dead in the party list but can talk and move around like normal, VC is lagged, mobs don't die or become unkillable...

It's just fricken possessed!

Server backup time.

I told them to stop summoning demons into the game, but does anyone listen to me.

NOPE

Well, that's what happens when you decide to mess with forces beyond your control.

/joke off

Yeah, it's server back up time.

actually the problem is that during those hours it is NOT possessed. the demons vacate the server room and the servers lose their demonic power, returning to mere mortal servers while the demons go on taco runs.

I wondered where the demons wandered off to at those times. They possess the server hamsters and go on a taco run?

Keep talking about it on the forums and in a year or two a dev will come in and say "Thanks, this is the first we've heard of it!"

Never give up hope...

What is this "hope" you speak of? :confused:

Do they do their backups OFFsite?! Gotta wait for some late-night gremlin to get off his butt and put the tape in? Holy ****, man.

Yeah the only acknowledgement I've seen was a response to my post in this thread, linking to a thread that was created in February and replied in July.

Who knows to what extent they are addressing the continuing and increasing issue. I guess their code has issues with increased traffic. Hopefully growth will not mean failure.

It's a little known fact that during those hours the devs are playing their half-orc, druid level 24s in the new high-level raid.

Needless to say, all the awesome causes lag.
