Lag Bursts

    Been having quite a few bursts of lag where the server seems to freeze. I don't know for sure that's it just the server or if it's an intermittent packet loss issue or something in the 'internet.' Anyone else experiencing this? Many people in general on the rathe indicate they are.

    been happening for a while now. just happened right after I pulled a mob .... and guess where I was when I recovered ...............

    I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with Sony's recent hacking headaches.

    change all the mob avatars to a "supreme leader" avatar.

    I understand EQ population shrinking means no new ressource allocated to the server... but if the dead hamsters could atleast be replaced, that'd be nice!

    Acts like a script running and somebody set the wrong timer on it to stop ... hits every 15 minutes almost like clockwork.

    Usually happens during double XP, lots of activity.

    Happen to us a few times on a raid. Not very pleasant.

    They gave the Hamster some sugar to speed cope with the population of players for double exp weekend.. but he slips through the wheel once and a while.. causing him to actually fumble .. so he has to stand up once again and run .poor thing :^(

    cross breed the hamster with a roadrunner and we should be gold

    Lag happenned periodically over the night, the whole group was talking about it.

    I hope it doesn't become normal.

    Probably something to do with the eviction Things.

    As it has to check a person, then pack all the items Down into a crate and such.

    Why I believe it, because it reminds me when they made the autogrant thing.

    Happening on Bertoxx server. And double xp population should have nothing to do with it. Regardless of the increased population, the game should be able to handle that without an issue. There is something wrong with either the game code or SOE's network.

    Hopefully it is game code. The last thing I want is some turd screwing with the network again because he pissed about the color green right now.

    Was having this last night. The oddity for me was that it would only hit one of my three accounts at a time. One would go to lunch, but the others were still going fine.
  17. Hiladdar Augur

    I've also noticed the lag spikes.

    I took 200k fall damage on the Argath-Valley route due to the lag.

    I was thinking it could be something related to the Holiday Quests time limits or an old "snow more frequently" script.

    On a serious note, I am assuming they are going to some Network as a service option to reduce costs. Problem with those is they wait until there is a peak demand to open up more bandwidth or server resources, which is more than likely why we have all been seeing a lot more lag as of late.

    GW2 and ESO never lags like eq does when in PVE. Last night on Dino Island I was lagging with just 1 other person in the zone, which makes little to no sense.
