Lots of bad lag on cannith tonight had to restart a few raids

stuck at " cleaning up old connection " unable to load game any further for Cannith

Same thing happend some days ago. We were running baba and right the Moment we just entered, things got Bad before we even got started. We had to recall, what was impossible. Logged out, took endless to clean up old connection. Finally reconnected just to find ourselves still in raid, but everything was and stayed smooth after a Reset. The circumstances for the WHY are left unrevealed.

Here are my two thoughts on the data center move.

Most of the players were affected by the data center move from whatever they were doing to the other whatever they were doing. Now this wasn't a beneficial move for any player, you may have a lot of ups but you'll meet ends wit soon enough. This move also caused a lot of excess lag inbetween raids. As I've noticed since the center move that lag tends to be created when trying to cast spells from scrolls (Gust of Wind) or spamming a bunch of Ice Storm, Sleet Storm in one direct spot. I do not have visual proof because my recording software or what I use to record was being updated. I ran a couple of quests and lagged around the normal 8pm. However, I took the liberty of waiting to run raids until the morning or night where most players are not on.

*NOT MY POINT OF VIEW: STORY FROM FRIEND.*
Storytime
Around midnight - took the opportunity to run 'Old Baba's Hut' and we were doing so well. I was in my prime wolf form tanking the mounds (or so getting there, we almost had bees reach us due to lag) and people were jumping around so insanely bad in our instance that our healers couldn't heal, for a midnight with not many players. We ended up dying to baba around 500,000 health due to complications to lag.. Why did I mention this? Because there were 2 game moderators on at the time, and apparently too busy to help out players who died to lag by taking care of a dude by the name of 'Misterglue' he had this LFM up for.. what was it? -> 'NaZZii DDO Admins push PLAYERS to KILLTHEMselves IN Real LifE.' and it really grinded my gears because I had two tickets open at the same time, one for baba, one for the dude who had the stupid LFM. Guess which one he closed.. you guessed it, Misterglue ticket.

The lag is getting worse and worse over time and they basically switched the data center to benefit themselves - and its the reason I refuse to spend 40.00-130.00 just for Sharn until this gets fixed, even if Sharn comes out. They are greedy, sucking basturds who refuse to help their clients and set them up with lag just to make them pay more and more with little support.

YES. THE. LAG. IS. TERRIBLE. FIX. IT.

Khyber is pretty bad too. I actually locked up last night at Mirror end fight, took around a half hour to clear account and get back in. Good news was I actually was credited for the xp and completion, figured I would have to run it again.

Not just raids, connection in general has been noticeably worse since move.

Lag spikes are much more frequent, situations where game just freezes and then resumes few seconds later started to be regular (And that was very rare for me before).

data center move has been very bad for SSG (and not because prolonged move)

I sure hope they've gotten much better deal financially speaking, because otherwise it's total loss for them.

Edit: I'm on Sarlona.

Twice in the last 8 days I've had this problem; entire parties stuck in place, unable to do anything, having to relog multiple times, etc. I just got out of a party (on argo) that had this problem. It took me 40 minutes having restarting my PC in order to login, trying to login multiple times, change to another character, and then log back into the stuck one to get out of it.

I've about reached my limit with this game.

Aaaaand it happened, again. Twice in the same day, now.

The stuttering and rubber-banding seems like it's been getting worse over the past week or so. Waiting for the weekly reset and hoping that helps.

so after about 35 minutes of trying i was able to log in on Cannith.

Much to my surprise i ws still in the group and in the quest.
At my characters feet were the ring and voice items.
Slowly over the next 15 minutes or so people were regaining connection and we carried on the raid.with nine of us.

players link dead for 30 minutes able to load in and carry on were weird indeed.

In addition had to restart 2 other raids due to atrocious lag and not being able to move /unplayable etc.

Since the move to new hosting service lag has been terrible. One bright spark suggested it was because my character's name started with A! Save money and judge players are too invested to quit? I have no idea but the situation begs the question.
