Lag horribly here as well PST 10:45 am
The funny little foreign man

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.

11:28 PM PST, over a minute.

I hope my baby, don't leave me no more
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?"

Yep!

Game is chugging again now. Also had a hard time visiting the forums this morning around 2AM?

Wow. 21 steps. :S

5 minutes ago, with a very very very long lag, it was like the game disconnected on me. My connection is finez.
Veni, vinci, voici.

I'm okay on my own.

Bad right now (maybe an 8 on the 1-10), 1:40pm-ish Pacific Time (IG early afternoon, but bad all day)

I never realized what you guys were talking about till I had a chance to play on peak a little.

The lag does not happen off peak.

6:39pm EST - been getting lag spikes since maybe just after 4pm. Sometimes it's fine, and sometimes there will be a lag spike.
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

Central Texas. 10:07 PM central time.

HO

SHIT

It's been like 20-30 minutes now of NON STOP lag!
Quote from: Adhira on January 01, 2014, 07:15:46 PM
I could give a shit about wholesome.

I'm barely lagging at all now. Woo!
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station

Clearly we all logged off, thus no lag!

Was lagging intermittantly in small starts and stops from about 4:30pm until about 9:45ishpm (all times PST) when the HOLY WALL OF LAG hit, rendering it impossible to play.

Unpassable walls of lag at 3am-3:20am PST ... logged out rather than deal with it.

Biggest chug of a lag. 8.15pm GMT+8. I'm going to log out....unplayable. @_@

64.124.44.213.interserver.com [64.124.44.213]  seems to be a common problem in at least two of the metrics.

I ran my trace multiple times last night as I would get bits of lag lasting about 10 minutes at a time roughly every hour to every hour and a half. This was indeed the culprit for me.

Yeah, interserver is the host of Ginka from what I can tell.  Pretty decent VPS packages.

Been lagging for a couple of minutes now. Nothing works.

It's been lagging for the past couple of hours (since around 11am PST) with horrible lag spikes continuously since around 12pm pst. Lag can last up to a few minutes at a time.


According to their website, there was a root exploit patch implemented on 10/20/2011 and they asked customers to contact support to get the patch updated onto their assigned server.

There was also a set of patched updates on 10/23 and they asked customers to contact support to ensure that their server got patched.

No other "news" for non-customers to access, I couldn't find any outage page. That might be only accessible by logged in customers.
