More lag hit around 4:30 PM EST. Remains ongoing, time now at 5:08 pm EST. It comes and goes in spikes.

Lag at 4:35 EST.
Lasted about half a minute to a minute, wasn't really timing.

Hitting on and off a bit still, five minutes later.

Time: 5PM EST

Lag has been consistant for about 5 mins now, and it takes about 45 sec (which seems an hour! lol) To move between rooms or enter commands such as "Look Bow"

edit: just ended at 5:07 pm est
I remember recruiting this Half elf girl. And IMMEDIATELY taking her out on a contract. Right as we go into this gith hole I tell her "Remember your training, and you'll be fine." and she goes "I have no training." Then she died

Lag was bad between 6PM and 7PM EST.  Missed most of the Tuluki RPT.
I'd rather be lucky than good.

right now, 7:22 PM Mountain time, really bad.

Which is 6:22 PST
Sometimes, severity is the price we pay for greatness

Large spike at 6:15 PM PST.

Any word on what's going on from the provider?

Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?"

Still.  9:50 P.M. EST.  Late at night on Abid, the 157th Year of the Descending Sun.  Anywhere from 3 to 20 second delay on all commands.

For the past couple hours or so, so from around 5pm PST through to nearly 7pm. So bad, I ended up logging out. It's unplayably bad. Nothing else seems to be lagging (other webpages). Just Arm.

Same here.  Logged out.  Lag was going to get someone killed.  Same time as above.

Cruel lag, from 9:15 EST til now (10p EST)..

Oh, how I miss ranger quit right now.


By my diagnosis, the GAME itself is actually lagging. As in, combat, commands, everything. It freezes. Combat does not stack, and then spit at you, the entire game will literally freeze up and when the lag falls off, combat resumes as normal. That is my experience. I can't say how NPCs are acting.

Agreed. It doesn't seem that you are missing time to act, just that the whole thing slows to a crawl.

I don't believe this is a net issue, but rather an issue with the box that is running the game.

My co player disconnected a couple of times though.

Usually to fix lag people will discon/recon because often times it's a client-side issue.

However, this is not one of those times.

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

Yep, same.

Just checking in to mention the lag!

1:40 p.m., lasted for 2 minutes and about 30-40 seconds. INTENSE lag.

Question: Could a memory leak somewhere cause this much lag?
