EFU:M Lag

[TakenByVisions]

The server has been extremely laggy over the pasty two days. Yesterday it was timing out many times during the night and today it feels like EFU:A with slow conversations, transitions, NPC reactions (hostiles), and lots of jumping around.

12:52 AM EST server was lagging excessively for a large group of people.

BoM was gathering folks for a DM quest

Spike Ended at 12:58 or so!

I had big lags spikes, which made me drop and couldnt not see the server in the list for like a minut after each time I drop from the game. Oddly, seems i was only player dropping from my group.
 
I fear it might be related to tath issue which affected a few players, those who simply couldn't log to the server in anyway. I dunno.
 
Happened 30minuts from now.

It's when too many people are in the same area.  Normally, PC's do not need to know what other PC's are doing, so the information the server sends them is sparing.  If you're ALL in the same area, then you need to know what spells the other 49 people are casting, what they're typing, where they are on the minimap, what they look like, what sword they're wielding.

So my advice?  Leave the area with the 40+ other people and go chill out in an inn, if whatever is happening isn't REALLY intereresting or relevant to your character.  But of course this might not be good for us as DM's if we need to impart information desperately...

It can be a vicious cycle.
