Server delay post 5k players

[Gzanothor]

I've seen a few server upgrade posts already but since starting my character a few weeks ago im starting to eperiance server delay, not lag as my ms is a stable 15. It fluctuates and being a pvp-headed player im really concerned about delay. it happens about 40% of the time and its noticiable at being roughly 0.35 - 0.5 to have a second delay. (Tested in ashenvale with 5.5k players online)

Will there be future server upgraddes since fennix does not SEEM to have this problem (having tested in starting area) 0.1-0.3 seconds delay

Thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue, i asked several people and they said that they don't have any delay. Not sure how that delay exactly is but, i play warrior, when i want to charge for example hunter who is riding on mount stright against me, i will not get to propper charge distance and he can open me with trap or wing clip. This is what it is like, isn't it absurd? Any idea where the problem could be?

Yea, im testing this daily but im comming to the conclusions i might change vanilla server. Im not sure if this is the case in BG's but im having an occasional 0.5 second delay on casts which is killing the game for me. (Latest test today with 6.8k players online)

I think that most players dont notice it becasue it fluctuates and most playes dont notice when the unimportant abilit takes half a second to implement, especially if its an aura etc

I'm experiencing this too, when the server crashes and you log back in when theres only a few hundred players on the server there is no delay so it's definately due to the number of players.

Weird :s i wasnt getting any lag when there were 7.5k on yesterday

I'm also experiencing about a .5 second delay on abilities. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not.

Edit/update: actually, as much as 4 seconds or more, not just abilities, but also quest dialogs, and NPC interactions.

This is excatly what I mean. Either it really is a connectivity issue, or players dont notice it since it only occurs 50% of the time when you cast abilities so it seems like you arn't getting any lag when you are casting multiple spells.

Currently the only way for me to play enjoyably is to play in the morning. And I have no idea if this lag extends to the instances.

(Edit) Testin in WSG, still the same problems. Im going to give nostalrius some time to upgrade its servers since i dont think it will be able to handle AV and pvp smoothly (two of the only reasons I join private servers).
