Wow..

[Lady Arwen]

I logged on UO about a half hour ago to play a little, and I cant move AT ALL. I freeze up every step for seconds. I was wondering, is this just me? Or are other people laggy like this today??

 

[sapphirediablo11]

everyone is lagging now, something is wrong and there has yet to be an exact word as to why...

 

[Lady Arwen]

ok.. glad to hear its not just me.

Hey everyone, we didn't give up on clearing up the latency issues but some of them are out of our control.

There are some internet outages throughout the country this morning and this is probably what is causing the lag that only some of you are facing. Your connections are being re-routed through different hubs and that is increasing the latency to connect to your shard.

These things usually clear up quick enough. *Crosses her fingers*

Arrrr, Comcast been reroutin' me fer a couple o' months now; methinks there be serious infrastructure issues.

Glad to know the community coordinator simply crossers her fingers in hope of a fix... Funny how she says "there are some internet outages throughout the country this morning".. well that might explain THIS MORNING, but still no explination of why this is the 5th day the game isn't even playable.... Although i have gotten a lot of skill training done these past 5 days :gun:

funny as I play the newest expansion to another game I'm not seeing any sort of lag but I log on UO and it's like AOS memories, it's not my system nor my internet connection.

I don't think they have a clue as to why theres lag. Maybe EA made the wrong cuts and let go of the people that were able to fix the problems.

I'm disappointed with UO and I have no problem spending my money and time else where.

Do you know how the internet works? If one game is slow and the other isnt then maybe they arent even related? One could be housed in your same town and the other across the country...I play Pac...live in NW = no lag

The Major ISP's have been tunneling certain types of traffic for a while now (especially torrents), it would only figure that online games would be moved into that area also.

everyone is lagging now.

Been fishing up a couple hundred SOSes this morning without any appearance of lag.

No lag whatsoever here, and I'm in the UK. Since not everyone is having this problem I'm guessing that it may be outside of the the EA infrastructure..? This would explain the delay in getting it sorted.

Now, if you wanted to see real L-A-G you had to be there for the introduction of Malas...LOL!!
