I gave up trying to play today. Took me so long to just send a couple of things through the mail from one character to another... it's nuts. It seems that quite literally the only "good" time to play is after midnight EST. That's when I usually get the bulk of my playtime in and I never experience lag then.

I agree. I was up at 5:30am this morning, got on did SOA daily twice, Harnak for maybe an hour and a half...
Suddenly, it's unplayable. I'm done for the day. Hopefully this is fixed sometime soon.
Funniest thing about this is the in-game petition system is broken, so nobody can submit any bug reports about it either. I know its free to play now, but its rediculous to let the game just fall apart because of lagging servers.
Each craft takes about 30-90 seconds to register with the server.
everything lagged out (from quest item "ding" to actually seeing the number in your quest list increase, it took about a minute)
entered SOA nursery instance
got disconnected from the server like 1 minute after I started the quest
logged in again immediately (actually on the first try!), but it took me so long just to get from the character selection screen to actually seeing my character and being able to move that I got the "this instance has been deleted, you cannot reenter, sucks to be you" message
that was when I decided to log off for the day lol

It's not broken, they disabled it except during certain off hours. I think all the freebies overwhelmed them with idiotic petitions when it first went f2p. Use the web based petition anyways when you need service, it's much better alternative 99% of the time.
