Lag spikes, anyone?

[TheJusticar]

Folks,

Logged in a little bit ago. Almost impossible to play. My toons would freeze and would get a packet loss of over 60% for a few seconds (8-10 usually). While not a major deal in public areas, 8-10 seconds freeze almost guarantees a party wipe in most instances.

I'm a bit ticked off, to be honest. Lag has been plaguing DDO pretty much since I joined more than 2 years ago. Then came the dark days and they took all worlds offline for about two three days in order to change Data Centers. Since then we've gotten the same lag and, even worse, right out server outages at random times. Then we got DA supposedly with the premise that it would help improve the lag situation. DA has made matters worse, IMO. And lag, you ask? Same or worse than it was. So what gives devs? Supposedly you guys are enjoying a windfall of dough due to EU and even though you have said it's a multi-dimensional problem with no easy fixes, I have yet to see ANY proactive measures to mitigate the lag problem. Before EU you had the excuse you were on a shoe-string budget and not enough resources. What your excuse now? Fix this darn lag, please!

Godspeed.

Ran reavers a earlier tonight. A little after 6pm ET. I got two really bad spikes. One was so long I thought for sure I was going to be disconnected. Can someone please cast haste on the hamsters? Thanks.

Yeah was happening to me just a little bit ago. They lasted 2-5 seconds each. Finaly decided to just call it a night.
