This announcement is buried in Bug Reports. Mithril has posted that some things were changed. I have noticed better ping on Connery and little to no lag. Knock on wood. It may be too soon as it is not peak or primetime. We need everyone to log in to test.
I may have spoken too soon. (I appreciate the effort to fix this lag). I had 40-60 MS Ping between 4 PM - 6 PM Pacific. It went to 175-225 MS Ping around 6:15 PM Pacific. I went back to 40-60 MS Ping around 6:30 PM Pacific. Popping back up to 200 MS Network and 1300 MS Server Latency. I wonder if the lag is related to server capacity (virtual server) or someone (several people) are logging on and directly affecting everyone's lag.
It is better. Whatever they are honing in on could be the solution. The true test will be Friday night or so. I hope the devs log in to observe not only the lag but the population. They'll need to find a way to bring back pop - whether that is primetime bonus XP or new ASP benefits (force veterans to main). It is hard to compete against a concentrated server such as Emerald.
I log in at lots of different times. To me it seems 100% related to population. Off times (early morning, middle of the day) no problems. At night and late at night it's unplayable for me.
Played for about 30 mins last night, seemed better than it has been. I hope it's fixed, Emerald is well over 100 ping for me so not a very good long term alternative.
