11/3 Maintenance - adding more resources

[11/3 Maintenance - adding more resources]

Looks like a better understanding of in-game mail for those that never used it was sound. Definitely using it with all my trading so far. Not familiar with any exploits but am hoping that the devs are able to figure that aspect out and close those loop holes. Hopefully the extra resources being patched in will reduce those notorious lag monsters. XD 

 

Keep up the fantastic job Matt. 

[What causes the server lag?]

The game used to run fine (for me) back in the day though, even when it was nearing its end and people started complaining about lag, 

and the game used to have alot more people i suppose, i mean the engine/server code still got the same job as 10 years ago so why would its performance change just due to age.

 

those 15+ seconds lagg spikes were pretty massive thou.

This was part of the reason why I asked about the server lag. I rarely experienced anything like this before with even more folks on so was thinking about and asking for some reasons this could be happening more so this time around. That said, I do wonder if going to the newer operating platform changed the way how data flow is being handled. It reminds me of trying to play an old 20 year old pc game on current OS / Hardware and crashing it out all the time. 

 

Appreciate the responses!

[What causes the server lag?]

Not a network specialist or anything but was curious what is causing the server lag? I seem to get on just in time for some of the lag storms so I'm just lucky I guess. Still though, just looking to learn.

Keep up the great work Matt! Definitely appreciate the fact we even have this game to come back to so any fixes along the way are greatly appreciated. :)
