Fight the Lag! - with metrics

How do I obtain metrics again? ..I use atlantis?  :-[

I have learned that one can, in fact, typo to death.

Once again for lag, the best way to assist staff is to do a trace route and a ping. Thus the thread! Knowledge is power. Whoosh!

This is misleading, because not all lag is due to latency. Recent lag seems to have more to do with the server itself, like a memory leak in the code or something. Which is why it cleared up after Morgenes' reboot but slowly came back.

Yes. The trace route and ping allows them to rule out network issues and focus on server issues or vice versa.

Sometimes, severity is the price we pay for greatness

Hm, this is quite bad.  Ping times still in the 18-20ms range.  Definitely not network related.  And with ~50 players online, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with current player populations.

My traces and pings seem to be coming back fairly clean, yet I am still experiencing bursts of frequent lag for hours on end.

I think this is actually the Ginka server stalling and not a connection issue.

I don't know, I'm not a network/pc guru to that extent.

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

I doubt we need any more trace route or ping logs.. I'm currently using some shitty internet connection from my local GSM provider and my ping 320 ms. But in game, I realized two things;

1. As visible, it's way too laggy.
2. Commands with no 'before' delay are getting a 'before' delay. For example; if I wait enough to ensure my character has no delay in progress, then type 'n;l n' it sometimes looks north - response coming nearly instantly - , then moves north in a second or two.

Damn.. I'm in the field in the middle of nowhere and I'm forced to stay here. There's nothing else to do here. I would be delighted if this could be fixed.

Edit: Not 32 ms ping of course.. It's 320 ms.. Sorry about the confusion, I seem to have forgotten the zero.
Q  : Where do you piss?
Yam: On elves.
Q  : And if the area, lacks elves at the given time?
Yam: Scan.

The last 2-3 weeks I have seen a performance hit. Did we switch providers? Can I help in anyway to resolve the game performance issues? I am willing to contribute knowledge, finical help, etc to help work on getting the user experience resolved.

Just let me know if you need anything.
