Possibly. I'm sure they want to make sure they only have to fix it once, and not have a repeat of 2.0's launch where we went through three or four iterations of "It's fixed! Oh wait, no it isn't..."

The lag has infected the server that's responsible for all solo, story duties as well. The level 40 SCH quest is pretty much impossible right now because of the extreme delay. I noticed that the lag seems to be infecting the regular servers as well. Multiple people in my FC (including myself) were complaining about getting "stuck" when trying to talk to NPCs or interact with aetherytes and were frequently getting 90ked.
This lag is RIDICULOUS.
The lag has now spread like a virus to the whole experience. Maybe it's different for different data centers, but on my server it's all everyone is talking about in Shout, so I know it's not just me. Members of my FC based in other parts of the country are also being affected, so it's not an area or ISP thing, either. It takes seconds to dismount, and there's constant lag spikes, where everything stops moving for a few seconds and then starts back up again.
It's near unplayable. I hope they figure out the problem quickly.
Look into it NOW! Need to juice my money from SE.
Half my FC were kicked from the server and they all live in different countires.. it's not an issue on the customers end.
This lag reminds me so much of launch. It's awful. There's no excuse now.
This is only beta phase 9, please give us more time, we appreciate your understanding.
