Lots of "rubberbanding" the last two days
Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2004 3:34 pm
I have been playing the game since the 24th and have generally experienced almost no network related lag, stalls and "rubberbanding"/warping.
Yesterday however, getting increasingly worse during the night, the rubberbanding effect was getting pretty severe and occouring at least a couple of times every few minutes - with or without the the little "please wait" icon appearing on screen.
Logging in today I was hoping the problem had been if not fixed, then at least become less apparant (especially with fewer people on the server at this time of the day, but of course, population may not have been - and probably was not - the source of the problem afterall), but alas, in twenty minutes I have been warping as much back and forth in water, on the ground, fighting, or just running around, as I did in the span of several hours yesterday.
Considering that several of my guild mates have similar problems, and there are no apparant indications of net problems at my end, I am assuming that the servers are to blame.
I am hoping that the problem is being looked into and alleviated very soon, as warping all over the place is not exactly a positive experience. Not to mention that it is not doing wonders for the death penalty either when you are trying to pull a single aggro mob and suddenly surge forward, then back and then perhaps a little sideways at 100 km/h
.
Keep up the good work. You have created a wonderful game here.
