It's a connection issue, it has to be. Newer hardware doesn't suddenly cause network latency unless there's an issue with the network card drivers, or the way its connection is configured. Could it be something as simple as forgetting to murder Windows Firewall?

Unless the issue is that activity is causing the server to need more CPU/RAM than it has, in which case, server can't process to send the information back to us. As Cryptc is hosting, I'm sure he's noted the issue being the hardware capping out, which is likely why he's saying that. |

I suppose. Then there's the question of why the older, less powerful server didn't have this problem, though. |

The lag is terrible right this second. It's been on and off for the last half and hour, if that helps? |

what's strange is that it seems to "catch up" in fastforward after each lag spike, which would be strange for an hardware issue as lost ticks should be simply lost, not regained all of a sudden. |

Maybe listing those places would help them to find a solution. |

The lag isn't limited to one area. When one area lags, the whole server is lagging. All it means is that it forces people to Niflheim and Carceri, which, if lag occurs, wipes the party. This happened while the Abyss was closed, thus it was not the Abyss. Where the lag happens is not really relevent since it hits the whole server. |

We -might- have pinned down the issue. After we have tried some things, more will be clear, as for connection, the connection isn't the problem

4 pm GMT and terrible lag appeared. I am roleplaying, so I can't tell you more. Anyone fighting around? |

Ok, two crashes after the last server reset in 30 minutes. If you have any doubt you're doing something wrong (appearance changer, pulling tons of mobs, casting sh*t), please stop. |

Pulling tons of mobs and casting sh*t is about 80% of my gameplay right now =( I'm in the States, though, so you'll probably be zonked out by the time I log on. Have we noticed any patterns in terms of whether the lag is during peak European or peak western hemisphere game times? Heck, I don't even know where the server is located...just a thought, though. On Trinity, we had some issues with State-side folks being able to log into one of the GM's test servers in Germany...folks in Europe could get on fine, but folks in the States either couldn't join, or timed out within 60 seconds from lag. I don't know much about network stuff or multi-core CPUs, so it may be nothing like our problem...seems like we've tried a lot of other things, though, so I thought I'd mention it. I only noticed one rough patch last night, probably around 12:30 am GMT, but it was only a few seconds. I was playing from about 11-2 am GMT relatively lag-free. |

The server is based in Europe. However, we still know this is an issue with the new, faster server, because these lags were not happening before we changed boxes. Do trust that extensive testing and tweaking by the admins is happening. |
