No. Read the millions of posts complaining about it....

It's the change of the Kings Age. It's like the Millenium Bug all over again. :(

It's been fine for me this afternoon.

It's still definitely really really shit.

Hmm, weird. Just came up all of a sudden.

Can anyone confirm that it's laggy out of in the wilderness?

It's laggy everywhere.

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

Like a lithium flower, about to bloom.

Whew, at least it waited until my PC wasn't locked in mortal combat. Thanks, lag!

I really doubt staff needs more tracerts.

Same, lagged out - now I can connect but after I get "Connected to host armageddon.org" I get no login screen or output to my client AT AL  ??? >:( :o ??? :-[ :-\ :'( :'(

Running to a safequit room in bullettime right now.  :P Still in, though that's more evidence of sheer bloody mindedness on my part.

Lucky you, can't even get in now -- if any staff sees this... PLEASE log out [REMOVED]-- 15 minutes of being unable to login at all ARGGHH what's going on....

Wonder if a reboot would help as a quick fix for the time being. I've had lag / connection trouble in the past (as many people have and have stated in this thread) but I've never seen it this bad where I can't login to the MUD at ALL!

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

EDIT: Yeah sorry... removed...

You probably don't want to tell people your characters name. Might want to edit that out.




Not safe, I'm out! Wish I could get in, my luck I'm probably already dead...  ???

Congrats, now pray to the MUD gods for me so that I can actually log in and do the same  :'(

Come on, the lag isn't even all that bad.

For bards.

I'm guessing someone has put in a ticket for this issue. Any sort of response from the hosting company?

How do yo know? Is this the standard procedure for staff when stuff like this happens? Do they not have RPD / Remote access to the server with the website & MUD on it to reboot it? Or possibly a remote reboot tool through a UPS? Sorry I'm new here and just curious...  ??? Server is in desperate need of a reboot...

Note that we are back up, but even after completely rebooting our entire server, it doesn't seem to have done anything.  I'm opening a trouble ticket with our host to see if they can see/do anything about it.

I apologize, but you may want to find something else to do if you can't handle the lag.

Didn't we already have the same lag issue several months ago and then it went away suddenly?  ???
