I will run nude through the streets for hours on end.

... and then you'll rubberband back.

In case you haven't been notified, the lag is back, and it's just as bad as it was back when I wrote this post. We've had some time in between where it's been ok but right now, it's a living nightmare if you wan't to do even a normal 6-man quest.

I know it's not a dev problem but please, isn't there anyone who can do something about this? The game is completely unplayable right now.

Impossible to raid and it's destroying Cannith
More and more people quit the game because of lag that is unlike anything we have ever seen before, and it is really making us sad. Cannith is our home and the place we have had our buddies for many years.

Yep its really been bad this past weekend. As bad as its been since data center move. Even game stopping lag in solo quests. If you're not going to resolve the issue with too few actual serves and too many virtual servers, then you need to start scheduling daily reboots. So the problems don't build up making the game unplayable on the weekends.

Also had multiple instances of ice storm getting stuck on my character the last 2 days. Its really gone down hill this weekend.

Friday was ok
Saturday it seemed to get a little worse.
Sunday. Yeah Sunday was a trainwreck. I usually pick Sundays to solo Raids as it seems the population is low and thus = less lag. Not the case this last Sunday 4/10/16

The most lag I encountered on Sunday evening was in House J public area picking up and running to quests This was Crippling lag. For instance, It took over 10 minutes to go from the airship to the drowning sorrows tavern to the haunted library.. There were noticeably long loading times for the quests as well.The Lag Stopped once we entered a quest. All quests were 5 characters and we had very little lag issues in quest. We went to house Phiarlian afterwards and then to Threnal. there was some lag but nothing as catastrophic as I have seen before. Both in Threnal explorer areas and in the quests.

I completely agree with my friend walruss. Cannith is almost deserted. It's impossible to make raids. Now you can just do tr, but it's sad, so many people are leaving the game.
Looking for a solution? Is not enough.
Never mind the kensai, adjust the game before the revamp kensai!

Fatti, non pugnette!!

Here's an update with the state of the game on May 4th, 2016:

An attempt at completing Defiler of the Just on Epic Normal with a party of 10 people:

Lag is not as bad anymore, but still worse than before the move. Did a LH shroud yesterday with full raid, and we completed. It took longer than expected, but I attribute that to characters not really up to that difficult of content.

As bad as it feels to bump a post with a title as horrible as this one, I still think that it would be cool to end this thread with a conclusion of what has recently changed:


Cannith is back. DoJ is back. Shroud is back.

And there's (almost) no lag.

Someone seriously deserves a promotion!


Whoever or whatever happened, thank you :-)
