Ghallanda Wirdness

[Loholt-UK]

I had issues logging into Ghallanda a few minutes ago. I had to quit the game which was stuck on the initial loading screen, this happened twice before letting me log in.

I logged into my character with no issues but then guildies told me of bank problems, so I checked and confirmed that the bank was acting up as well. On opening the bank, either nothing would happen, or one window would open which I could not interact with. It took me 8 attempts of leaving the cargo hold, going back to the cargo hold, and attempting to open the bank before all 3 windows opened simultaneously and allowed me to interact with it.

Also, at around the stage of my bank opening, I noticed that my buff bar was populating.

Guildies were also reporting invisible walls in explorer areas, can not confirm this but absolutely no reason to disbelieve it.

Last night, myself and my party experienced a lag spike that lasted over 10 minutes in the Blown Deadline quest. Luckily it was after we had killed all the trash and just before we enteredthe boss fight so nobody died.

I remember Cordovan saying recently that "fixing lag is our highest priority" so would like an update on how that is going.

Thanks.

Edit: And Weirdness, obviously.

I've just experienced the invisible wall bit myself in Meridia. Interestingly, after I'd tried to go around it with no joy and continued to rubberband back, the moment it freed up was accompanied by mobs spawning. I reckon that the mobs failure to spawn due to lag causes this issue.

Overall, the lag today on Ghallanda isn't that bad but is punctuated by incidents like this every now and again.

This sounds like typical sunday wonkyness. Ive come to think of it as a game feature. Usually a bunch of us TR down to 15 on Friday, cap Saturday, and attempt to run first time R10's on Sunday. Adds a challenge.
