Good Morning Folks,
 
As part of our effort to combat the lag issues on the server at 3 pm we will be restarting the server to redistribute the maps and bring up some more zone servers.
 
This should do the following.

• Reduce lag and latency felt by the majority of the players on high player density maps.
• Spread out the load on the servers so that we utilize more of the available capacity.

Update 2:12 were getting some new hardware upgrades online as well that may help in other areas.


Current Estimated down time is
3PM-5PM PDT


Since were still waiting for the IT team to do their thing,

Were throwing in the fishing quest rewards!

People in countries that are far away will always lag and they can't really help you there. People in the US and places closer are lagging terribly atm, this is to combat that.
A lot of the places in Europe should also be able to play relatively smooth, but it's not the case. Hopefully this helps.

Even when we are alone in map, it's pretty laggy. Please dont think lags are only when we are on high density map.

As long as we dont wait 3 hours just for the lag to be worse than before the maintenance... Again.

It might be just that. The number people on one map draining resources for other maps.

Thanks!!!

Double exp event pl0x @Oda

lmfao.

[rasterfahndung]

given the fact i'm playing from germany i can't experience any lag since the last restarts (24h ago it was horrible with 2,5k + players online, like now). so whatever you did it worked out great.

Maps share zones, so you can be on a map alone but it's on the same zone as Prontera/other crowded areas and you lag because of that. Morroc map server is pretty lag free at the moment.

@Campitor

I know it's a bit of a stretch but, during this maintenance, would you guys be able to block claiming achievement rewards instead of blocking opening gift boxes?

Why don't you do this in the morning, when everybody is working? '-'

Hey Camp, i made a post yesterday about gutter lines, is there any official program that i can use to avoid it?

Precisely so what may look like a map with few on it is probably in the same Server Zone as a map with a lot of people on it. This is why you will see lag in certain areas and not others.

so our gift boxes are piling up in storage because of our myst case cards (me and my wife's) and well we cant access it and i understand the situation of the abusers with the achievement ones, but some info on getting those accessible to open or vend would be wonderful thanks camp

+1 to this

[Chopchop00]

Can't you just remove the gift box reward from achievement system instead of blocking the item itself? I have boxes obtained from myst case card and i can't use them ._.

[Ardelle]

Just find something else to use as a reward for achievements. Buffs are fine. Add agi/bless or something for the big achievements and just remove the gift boxes. As it is, myst case cards are useless.

Agreed. I'm deep in Glast Heim, alone, and lagging.

[Chisami]

I just ask, pretty please: to open the servers as soon as possible. It is really hard for those who are on the same fixed schedule to hit downtime the same time for days in a week. I think this is especially important right now at this moment for this server, because the excitement is great and I'd like to see it continue. When players fear the same downtime constantly, they start to find other things to do and it ruins the excitement. I realize the fixes are necessary, however, players being human, can't help but feel frustrated! I do hope the lag is quelched somewhat though!

[alvaro89]

Extra EXP plzzzzz!!!!!!    #okno

well i hope you can fix it  , but prolly it takes another maintances

Why don't you do this in the morning, when everybody is working? '-'

i'm working now

great to see this server growing. i was talking to a GER player the other day about the lag issues. good to see you guys doing all you can to alleviate some of this. overall i have had little to no lag issues myself. the client seems a bit more responsive than the classic server, and i never had real bad problems on that server. however, seeing how as odin is only going to grow for the near future, looking into lag now is a great move.
