Downtime Notice: Wednesdays, 9:00 AM Eastern

[Cordovan]

The DDO game worlds will be brought down for a weekly restart every Wednesday starting at 9:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT). The downtime typically lasts for less than an hour.

[Hobgoblin]

is this replacing the 2x weekly we have been doing? or adding to it so we have 3 days of restarts?

This is currently planned to be the only weekly restart going forward. We believe work done before the holidays will have allowed us to reduce back to a single weekly restart without endangering server performance back to unacceptable levels. We will monitor the effect this has over the next few weeks.

Umm you are wrong. Currently can not raid beyond 2 days after reset due to horrible lag

All I know yes game crashes lost contact with server like every day about 20 minutes into the game. Extremely disappointed two or three raids had to ignore raid loot cause it crashed on me at very end. Contacted steam support wanted me to copy files I am afraid of them are currently social standard vision whatever trackers are or malicious site what is it a fetish trend something god himself wouldn't even subscribe to. paranoid of malware sharing files personal data breach, I get some games from Japan better on DL site for adults. Went to PC repair guy I don't trust maybe its that wanted to say files are erased removing a hard drive yet I just took out my old one and copied all my files saved them with a hard drive connector for 5 bucks what's going on. Maybe I'm just reading fine print hopefully June 11th as Windows XP is jettisoned mass of bad graphic computers not really worth playing I hope its fixed.

You should probably update the weekly restart notices to say it should take about an hour and a half to two hours.

They're getting longer.

You'd be wrong. Lag was bad, really bad, this weekend.

In almost every mission I ran Sunday, we experienced one (sometimes more) periods of 60s+ stuttering and rubber banding. Multiple deaths were caused by said periods of lag. I also saw multiple people mention they were logging off due to frustration with the lag and the deaths throughout the day.

It also wasn't just my group. People in other groups and raids were complaining of the same lag in some of the shared chat channels.

Sorry dude, but if the lag I saw in PN at 9:00 AM MST yesterday (Khyber) is any indicator, you should probably reboot the servers DAILY.

Yeah, I mustered all of my self control not to post regarding the hellatious lag from the weekend. This is really gonna be horrid. The game is already bleeding end-gamers and raid related peeps due to the lag. While a group might recover in an EE run after a 20 sec full group lag lock, it's a complete wipe in higher skulls and many raids.

Cordo, have the devs considered 'pimping' out Lamania for groups/guilds to rent for raiding, high skull questing? Might be a possible cash cow if the main servers continue in their current condition. We joke all the time now about a Gland 'sign-up' sheet for peeps to reserve raid times to not cause lag for one another. The servers can't handle more than one raid group at a time without a noticeable loss in performance and that's with the 2 starts/week.

This. Do it every day. Put it on a 20 hour timer, so it rotates around.

[FURYous]

I couldn't take it anymore,

Cancelled DDO and started up a ESO subscription.

Give me a call if you get your act together enough so I can actually play the game.

Lag is just as bad the day the server comes up.

Worlds are coming back up.

Joking aside, what are you short term plans to get rid of the crippling lag? I know of at least 3 or 4 people that have ran with regularly that were vip that cancelled their subs and quit or taking a break from the game. Raiding anything higher then EH is basically a roll of the dice nowadays with them being loaded to lags favour
