The ultimate bag of shite game

Feel sorry for folk that can't let it go.

Says the person who came back to the forums and posted a comment. That's pathetic. I feel sorry for you that your life is so empty that you actually took time to go back to the ULTIMATE BAG OF SHITE GAME. That's just sad.

The lag issue has been around for awhile. I thought it may have been the server at the time. But since they are on a different server with the same issue, its the code. It feels like a memory leak, the garbage builds up in memory and never gets dumped. a reboot of the server clears the memory, and the build up begins again.
I haven't coded in a long time, so I have no idea how difficult that would be to track down.

This game is a hidden gem. It is definitely unique in its design. The early days F2P model was crap. I want to thank the people who are providing this game free of charge to us.

Is that something that can be improved by increasing the available memory ?

It would only delay the lag. And no telling how much of a delay. It could be additional hours, or just additional minutes. Eventually, the RAM will fill up again.
I'm just guessing based on the behavior. It could be a different issue, I just don't see something else that explains the slow buildup of lag over a day.

if u loot nodes while not taking items u can watch them disappear at the exact same time when it updates, they will respawn at the same time too
if u loot just before that tick it happens instantly

 

since if u time it right u can loot without delay that prolly indicate that there is no delay in the loot processing itself
