On Napa the lag is far worse now after the upgrade than it was before,
and it was getting bad then.

Is any other shard experiencing this today after the server upgrade?

Origin went through a hardware upgrade on Dec 16th and then a second a few days ago.... inbetween upgrades my lag was terrible but is now back to normal or even better then before.

Hopefully that will be the case for other shards,

Yesterday, I was dropping 80 lobsters trap at a time and still be able to pick them all up. Now, after the purported new equipment, I can only put down 64 with a few sinking. It feels like playing on dial up again. Recalled today, and saw just green grass for 2 seconds before actually saw a normal landing zone. Pinged napa.owo.com without packet loss. We miss Speedman!

I am a long time player on napa and my ping dropped in half today... Best I have ever had.

Agree with Fat, not the best I ever had, but it is the best I have had since I moved so far from the server. My ping dropped not quite half, but went from roughly 90 to 50, good enough for me.

1,423ms? That is over 1.4 seconds....you would have literally locked up.

I have not experienced any lag on the west coast servers (the ones with the update) in fact my ping has improved. The east coast servers however took a good 50ish ping jump, but they did nothing to those servers yet.

Dunno what your trace looked like before the update tiara, but I am not sure it looks like it has anything to do with the server upgrades.

Edit: after tracing pacific and polling it for awhile...I realize I don't go through those two ip's that have the highest ping times for you. 159.153.192.5 and 202.84.251.85, neither of those do I ping to, where are you pinging from?

Well ive never had to do a trace cause ive never experienced lag like this before - oceania is my home shard but have played pac now for 6 yrs.. I also did a ping to pacific and noticed ive gone from 120 to 180 plus.

I contacted my internet provider and they did a few checks and im at super speed..

So now im at a loss.

So you jumped about 60ping compared to normal? And it seems like it has something to do with those two odd hosts you go through.... I of course can not say for sure, but after some....5,000 or so pings (it is still running) My ping has not changed, which means it has to be one of the host servers you are going through, I do not know what all they upgraded, but I assumed it was only the servers that held the game information, meaning the upgrades have nothing to do with your problem (but at least one of the problem hosts is an EA host...so maybe they upgraded some of the stuff between the server and us, which might explain your problem...but then I wouldn't know, not working there and all =\)

Ran a uotrace and ping 23 to 25 all the way to EA then ping 200's the last 3
hops.
The lag is most notable when recalling and mostly on the boats. It is stutter
step all over them. As before this upgrade, it was very smooth sailing.

Lag is an understatement for whats going on now tho. Freezing and sitting for 30secs to two minutes at times on Atlantic now. Happened 3 times in the last 30 minutes so far.

Yes Oceania has now got terrible lag after they did a sever revert when they added test centre in to Oceania, was fun to have all the arties for free and ridables with millions in gold checks.

The lag at the moment is 180 plus and is basicly unplayable. This is after the so called upgrade. I'm running adsl2 and a super fast Pc that lets me down load 100meg in a few minutes. My Internet provider says my line and connections are fine and that the problem is with the game server.

Uo was working fine befre they decided to do the upgrade and this is not the first time in 2 months that we have suffered exessive lag due to publishes, patches. now Upgrades.

Please UO fix the issues so we can play.

Of course if you are playing atl it is Highly unlikely that you are using a host that would be from the west coast, aside from the fact that if they updated the host servers it would only affect people randomly during the update, and not the whole server, meaning they would not be able to predict who would not be able to connect and who would. So since they did not update the atl servers, and judging by how they are able to predict what shards would be down, I would bet that the lag has no relation to the upgrade.

Where are you pinging from? also I don't see you pinging at 20 to napa anyhow, 32 is best.

Edit: After pinging the host that is causing you trouble, the 159.153.192.234, I find that it spikes sometimes. So the host randomly is overloading. 2,000 or so pings and it is 68/269 Best/worst. But I don't pass through that host.
