Please add a queue to fix the lag...its unplayable

[Talryx]

I play usually evenings and weekends EST. There are always 6k+ players on and I haven't noticed the last issues people are describing; once in a while I get a lag burst where literally my character can't do anything, the mobs stop fighting, etc then a few seconds later it catches up and the last few seconds of actions happen super fast. But that has only happened a couple times.

It seems like the best solution would be a second server, but there may be a cost issue with that... So my question is, what if they started a donation bid to raise the funds to add a second server (and presumably the target figure / goal of funds to raise should also include whatever it costs to operate the additional server for say a year.)

Although I suspect the real reason we haven't seen any indication of willingness to add a second server is the same reason news and updates have been slow recently - they don't have an ideal number of staff members. I hope they can remedy that soon because I love this server.

Thoughts?

Server has 7341+- players ingame and i was played whitout any lag.. so maybe its your connection bad..

My average ms ranges from 140-210ms, and to be honest I haven't had issues with lag so far. The delay is nearly unnoticeable, may be something else if you have 30ms.

ping (ms) IS DIFFERENT from a server lag ...

i play from France, i never have more than 20-30ms ping BUT this 0.5 sec/1sec delay on the server is really annoying !

it has nothing to do with internet connection

i dont know what they change on the server, but its getting worse everyday, even with a 60% mount, when u cross a land, monsters appears only when u are really really close to them, cant see shit a few meters/yards ahead

when u play during the EU daytime with less than 4-5k players it quite OK ... but during EU peak time (8pm to about 1am) its really painful, especialy with melee class

For the last 3 days I've been lagging horribly. There is a delay on everything little thing I do like moving items around in my bags and checking my mail. I've been playing since launch and have never experienced anything like this even when there was way more players online. Nobody else seems to be experiencing this but absolutely nothing has changed on my end so I don't understand what the problem could be.

I have 20 ms latency and no or just little delay, even with 9k ppl online.... weird... get yourself a better connection...

I vote queue capping population at 4k, with a $20 donation enabling queue priority (skip queue). Donation proceeds should go towards a better server so that the 4k cap can be eventually raised eithout dragging performance. This assumes enabling donations will not jeopardize the server from a legal standpoint.

Edit: This would also filter out spammers and gold sellers.

Why don't they:

-Lower the time needed for AFK ppl to log out
-Remove Skeletons of dead players from the ground (or give a despawn of few minutes)
-Not allow ppl log-in more than one character at same time

It would be a good way to start...

Anyway... is any staff member reading this topic after all?

Skip queen its p2p setting ( pay to play ) so after this solution can lost many players .. and first think player who have "LAG" must cheack self connection setting , because lag can be not only from server side.. , and how one dude say remove bones its can help a bit .

it means u r terrible slow or just too retarded to notice ingame delay, or have never expirienced real smooth game while playing from ur cave
fraps how u r "not lagging" during peak times and i will show how smooth game looks like

and first think player who have "LAG" must cheack self connection setting

can u smartass explain how mutual cc possible if lag is client side ?
