I disconnect 100 times a day. I'm sure everyone else does too. Upgrade your server from this 486 you have running now.

Yea maybe you guys would benefit from something like a Amazon EC2 or Rackspace, more reliable connections

Amazon EC2 is what my office uses and the cost to keep the servers up 99% of the time is ridiculous. It's a nice service but I doubt a game could use it well.

Throwing more power at something isn't always going to make it any better, per se. Sometimes it's the plumbing that needs a facelift.

Do you think it's possible to move the server on east coast?

Europeans wanna play QQ

[NoSecks2day]

use lowerping

its awesome for europeans.

[Zealol]

we still need to pay for it

[Jaffer]

Moving the servers to the east coast would probably improve your gaming experience in Europe, but I assume there's a degree of physically accessing the servers that Gravity wants, which is why it's hosted on the West Coast, which is where their office is.

And really, I live in the US and I use Lowerping/WTFast software for my connection. You're playing a free game hosted in another country, it's gonna lag no matter who is hosting it. You're gonna need WTFast or Lowerping.

Well I wouldn't mind if these programs were free, but I'm not sure I will put 10$ per month in this.

Merge Ygg into Valk. Reduce resources being spent. Distribute the servers across Valk and Classic.

Is it possible to have an answer from an admin ?

No, he has disconnected.

I like this idea. But don't they have slightly different mechanics on each of those servers?

WTFast is like $5 per month. You can google SSH Tunneling and set up your own if you want.

[Zealol]

Well the fact is that we still to pay extra $.
Anyway we found a free way to reduce lags, so we will be able to join iRO if woe times are correct.
But of course, we would love to have better servers.

[Zoso]

They need to upgrade the server before WOE starts or they are just asking for it. I see some more 2x EXP apology events in our future.

[EndovDaze]

Same mechanics. Same bot to player ratio. No difference. Two identical servers running side by side.

[PoisonEdge]

I agree with Endov.. We should really merge the two, and spread the resources.. I doubt they will spend more money on servers...

[Zoso]

I know Classic was a pet project, but I also know Gravity has made a significant amount of money off of Classic server KP. I also know the server populations, in which classic server has the highest. So now that Classic has toppled the other failing servers, it is time to buck up and bolster the server.

It is very hard for me to get my friends to take this game seriously when they get disconnected 100 times their first day playing. How is that for a first impression?

I hope for a GM response. Yet, I do not expect one. I will keep this thread alive until the basics of an MMO are provided.

isn't the problem with classic because of the buggy unsupported hackjob codebase they slapped together for a game that wasn't designed to work? and not because of hardware stability?

How would we know? We don't get any feedback. I disconnect when I change maps, character select, teleport, & bwing. Occasionally I can't login for hours at a time and the computer next to me can connect.

Whether it is due to server, connection, or code, we need a fix for it.

[Zealol]

pls, you earn tons of $, put 50 of these in a better server LQL

You would know because heim said a couple times its a problem with the software of the pre-renewal server and not the hardware. Like it says in the maint notes they were trying to address the software problems.

Then he should make a thread on it so that normal users don't have to dig through maintenance notes to find out what is going on with a basic function like connectivity. It's unprofessional.

[Siveria]

Personally I doubt they will do anything since classic is pretty much a dead end server, there is no new content coming for classic because its all made for renewal now. I highly doubt Korean devs are going to make 2 patches just for the international version one for classic and one for renewal. This is part of the reason why I am hesitant to bother with classic, whats the point when its pretty much a dead end server update wise?

[Zoso]

I don't see how it is a dead end server. I mean 50% of your server quit to come play a game that is actually enjoyable(minus the disconnects). I don't care about new content that is renewal and beyond because it is garbage. You renewal fanboys keep trying to make it about classic vs renewal but that isn't the issue. Our only issue is we disconnect, compared to renewals mounting pile of issues such as a depleting player base. Tell me how awesome renewal is when you are the only one playing.
