As of Saturday, I find I cannot play my two upper 40s level mains during any sort of normal hours. The lag is just awful. Every time I want to target a mob, I have to click on them many times. Once they finally register as targets, I have to press the attack key many times (maybe 10, maybe 15, maybe wait a minute and try again) before my toon actually starts attacking. If I get on on 3:00 AM I can play somewhat normally, because the lag is much less. But, I want to play during "normal" hours!
It seems to be a particularly widespread problem. Certainly I have been suffering at times and I know that my clannies are also struggling at times to be able to play. Perhaps it is a conspiracy to make everyone buy more blessed rez scrolls? O.o
I have had problems with it as well, the lag hasn't been as bad in the last few days, but in town you can't even move & teleporting seriously takes about 5 minutes of my computer screen faded in black. :(
I keep thinking I needed more ram ;) lol

ROFL...Market inflation here we come ;) ...Nah don't think it is that :)
But indeed the serverwide lagg spikes have been very bad at times making gaming impossible and even lethal on several occasions. I've also noticed that Sieghardt is getting frequent HEAVY status these past few days which makes me a bit worried...But thre is no given factor to predict a spike to pop up nor to define it's frequence. Guess we will all have to stick our teeth harder into the game and hope it will stabalize in the coming days :s
I've been getting really bad lag too, usually when I log in (around 4-5 PM EST), and for me they're not really spikes, they're more like generalized lag. I click on a mob, and it takes 1-2 seconds for the target to show up, then I hit a couple spells and a couple seconds later the mob dies without any spell animations.. It usually gets better later on (around 9-10 EST), at least that's what I found out..
Well, it was much better on Tuesday night, after server maintenance. But it's only improved, still quite laggy and slow. And I am very hesistant to try going to the Schuttgart region, where lag seems to be the very worst.

Actually, I spoke too soon. The minute I tried to go hunting in EV again, forget it. I am getting very annoyed that I'm paying for 2 accounts and I can't even play.
True we shouldn't have to worry about lag, lag spikes, freeze screens, DC, critical errors, possibility of dying and dropping stuff and such...
...for the money you pay, its like taking your car to the garage and getting it back even worse then it was before, but it has a nice new rearview mirror though >.<
Count to that the crash of NPC server and the need to go back to town and wait and still lag >.<
Ahum...In all paying things the customar wants satisfaction and I basically don't get it when a new server is added to UNLOAD the older ones we get even worse lag then before...
Been around since Prelude and boy I've never lagged and specially Critical errored the game as now under C5...And no I ain't playing on an old pentium 2 or 3 with crappy card and such....I have the goodies it needs and more ...
I agree the server lag has been disgusting lately...but for those of you lagging in Schuttgardt or frozen labrynth region, turn OFF your weather effects your computer isent up to par, watch how fast the lag goes away :cool:

All those nice addies are not even activated for me ;) and believe me my video card and the computer is more then capable to handle LII so it ain't that :)
More or less the same here. The lag is worst in Schuttgart, but I am getting it very bad in EV also, where there are no weather effects. And this all only started last weekend for me, when the server bacame almost always "Heavy".

Indeed, it's a very good comparison. But even then, Sieg has been heavy in the past too, never had so many problems as now.
Even the light and normal servers have the same problems as ours...maybe do a real maintenance?
The lag has gotten better, to the point where I can get some leveling done during nights and weekends. But, I think they are maybe 50-60% of where they should be. The server is still quite laggy during "regular" hours. Taking a potion of alacrity makes my toon move almost up to "normal" speed, and only during very early morning hours do things start to move at a normal pace.
