Latency spikes still seen this weekend Connery unplayable

I can just login to Connery at Sanctuary and sit and see bad connects with server latency shooting way beyond 300 ms. Starts at 6 pm PST and goes thru midnight. The network traffic is more prevalent on weekends.

I am perplexed that Emerald can have over 2000+ players and it runs smooth as butter. Yet Connery Server is practically my back yard and it runs like hell.

The game was getting momentum friends were returning and once they see server performance is sub par, they left as quickly as they came back.

The Connery Server was fine all morning with my low 20 ms ping, latency just as low. 4:51 pm the spikes hit. Bad Connection, 150-625+ ms latency.

Same for me, NZST 1545-1615. I played on regardless for a while hoping it would get better, but after 30 mins of rubbish play decided enough was enough

Same here, ~1min till even logged in, just lags in Sanctuary, then disconnected.

Tonight 7:02 pm it hits again, poor connection quality, right on schedule. Back to Emerald again.

Connery @ 2248 EST
