Constant Lag, Reply Please?

[BlossomRose]

As noted by thousands of users, since yesterday and today many users are experiencing crippling bouts of lag, anywhere from once a minute to once every 15 seconds. The immediate cause seems to be that the "receiving" ping stat over the minimap (by default) is reduced to 0 for a moment, causing everything to stop and lag until your client catches up with what happened.

Occasionally this also causes 90000 disconnect errors.

I cannot play the game now, the lag is that bad. It's ridiculous. Why the hell have I paid for this service?

Oh nice, they took the other thread, locked it and moved it to "Resolved Issues." It's not resolved! You can't sweep this under the rug, SE.

Yeah I have the exact same thing. Recieving reduced to 0 and then just a freeze for a few seconds.

I was one of the fortunate players that was able to connect in the first days but now, I can't play because of this.

For no apparent reason, I keep getting "lag spasms" that eventually leads to disconnecting with error 90000 after less than an hour (the worst was 4 minutes after login). This has started on September 2nd at around 1am while doing Castrum Merridianum. I didn't experience that before in the game and now, it happens every time I log in.

Problem:
Lag spasms / lag bouts

Started:
September 2nd at around 1:00 EDT

Before that date:
No noticeable lag and a smooth gaming

Frequency of the problem:
Every time I connect.

Consequence:
- Getting disconnected after less than an hour
- Avoid anything you don't want to be disconnected in the middle of

I truly hinders my ability to play the game and I hope the information I have been giving you will help to pinpoint the source of the problem.

Thank you for investigating this issue in a near future.

Same for me. Sending and receiving drops to 0 and lags the game. Keeps causing the 90000 error and boots me off the game.

I tried again and this happens just before I get the 0's lol.

Not sure what's going on. Adding new servers is fine......but the same errors are going to happen on them. I might have to leave the game for a while and hope in a few weeks is runs smoothly.
