i know its not my connection thats causing the lag for myself but it seems that some others are experencing horiable lag today and seems its not just today but for the past week. could anyone shed some light on the situation at hand????

I have been unable to play for over a week due to it lagging so badly i can't style or cast spells or even type without it majorly affecting it. i did a tracert to help solve this problem its on the way to the server that theres issues. hope this will help solve the issue.

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

any hop after it shows the same very high packet loss
i first found this packet loss approx a week ago when my lag started, too

hopefully someone who understands this better can give us a hand

Having the same issue on Uthgard. Lag has been terrible for the past week and today has been completely unplayable.

I've been doing multiple traceroutes and the problem is always with init7's servers. There was one traceroute I did where it routed me through detroit and the connection was fine. Sadly, it went back to init7 afterwords.

init7's routers are severely congested. I'm wondering if there's anything we can do about this?


--Lloer

well, after a week of unplayable lag, it seems to be fixed

we got 2 players in grp that have these lag problemes since last week too...

One of the have link deaths all the time now...

Nothing new, no new isp or something like this... just started to lag since one week..

The lag has been bad for a few days now and its still not getting any better

its still lagging from me since thursday last week, i get yellow/red loss every 10 secs, its unplayable and im getting more and more ****** off. Something is real wrong here.

30% ploss in average

You're welcome for the RPs, Jonah.

baah would have got both of those mindless zerglings if it wasnt for lagg, i miss opening style due to lagg, i miss normal styles due to lagg, i cant purge or ip correctly, just lagg, boom and im dead.
But hey thanx for killing that one of

Same here.. its fine when population is around 2-300.. but when its above that.. my latency-icon is red every 2 sec.. its horrible.. Do fix this.. get a decent isp
