Honestly, the admins/development team need to adopt the same program they utilize for UO. Shut down the servers for a couple of hours/day or even do a weekly maintenance to clear up all the performance issues experienced thoughout the week.


The lag is soo unbearable in the Lab that its forcing the 8 mans to take their fight out of the lab.


The lag needs to be fix.

When you say lag, can you describe the symptoms you're experiencing for me? I'm afraid that if I go to the team and just say "lag" I'll get mostly sideways looks.

Are you experiencing casting delay, damage report delay, non responsiveness?

What time of day are you experiencing negative effects most frequently? What zones (I saw someone mentioned one specific zone, but are there additional ones you can pinpoint it to?)

Are you experiencing it no matter how many players are around you, only in high pop circumstances?

Thanks for the additional information and feedback.

Here's something that can help your team pinpoint the problem: have them log in to DAOC and go RvR (especially in NF or Lab) for, say, 20 minutes. The horrible lag seems to always be there regardless of the time of day, but I'm sure it's worst in U.S. primetime (roughly 5pm ET - 2am ET) when the most players are online.

During the weekends when there are 1k+ mids, 1k+ albs, and whatever hibs online is when the entire server experience what we experience in Labyrinth on a nightly basis.

Laby lag is usually worse than NF lag, but when the servers become really populated is when it gets bad for everybody.


I would <3<3<3<3 if you fixed the lag problems.


The lag is coming from your servers. I have business class fiber optics. I always have green squares.

I have delays swapping weapons, typing (only after hitting send does it delay to actually send), my chat log lags, enemies teleport around my screen, etc, etc...

I just recently reactivated and started leveling a Nightshade in the classic zones/dungeons mostly. I will be engaged in a mob, and if I move even slightly the mob will warp through me and start hitting me from the back, and I will get the "no target in view" message. I am talking about simply backing up, not trying to run though the mob itself.

Also when it gets even worse than that (which is often....) I will be nuking down a mob, and after a nuke or two my screen locks up and all the sudden a mob that was at 1500 range is now right in my face. Thankfully I can melee... I couldn't imagine a caster trying to XP in this.

This happens in melee too. I will queue up my styles, the screen freezes for about 3-4 seconds and it isn't like I hit unstyled... it just doesn't even swing or the mobs don't even attack during that brief period. I have lagged before where my screen will lock up, but my character will still function... never have I seen it like this. Its almost like the game pauses for the duration.

It was even terrible in the instance dungeons I was doing.

Same. I was playing my friends account and goofing around on his cave shammy doing instance dungeons (ywain-3 i believe if that matters) and i was lagging decently. It was sporadic and the mob would warp and I would ability delay. 8pm-9pm CST
