As many of the players near the West Coast will agree, the lag is getting worse and worse by the day. There needs to be a change as many players are quitting because the game is no longer enjoyable for them, as it's impossible to play Lockdown to do a Vana run without getting pulled back to the location you were at 5 seconds ago, then get instakilled. Most people in the Mid-US to the East Coast have 4 bar connections and will ignore this thread, but those near the West Coast, Alaska, Northeastern Canada, Mexico/Latin America, Asia, Australia, and South America will agree, that the lag is out of hand. (Unless you have the godly 1 bar that lets you glitch around). As far as I know, the server is in Richmond, Virginia, across the US from West Coast and extremely far away from these places. Most people in these regions have 1-2 bar connections and around 300-400 ping, even with good internet. If the server was moved, upgraded, or perhaps both, there could be a change and a few of these countries could get 2-3 bars if the server is placed correctly and has a strong enough signal output where it can reach them without too much strain on it. Right now there are over 4,000,000 knights, some are alt accounts, some are daily players, regardless, two servers is NOT enough to handle all these players. If you even made smaller servers around the world for specific areas that we could connect to, it would be great, because getting a 1 bar connection from both servers is really annoying, and I know a majority of the people I'm aiming at have this problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma0WIrZzzOM I recorded this recently to show how terrible the lag was in Lockdown, and fortunately for me, my mic config was changed so you can't really hear my commentary on the lag. I already talked to the GM's about this, and they told me to lower my settings to reduce lag, which has NOTHING to do with the connection to the server. If I can record SK with 45 fps, I think I should have a 4 bar according to their instructions. Please, for your own benefit and enjoyment of the game, send this thread around and +1 it, maybe OOO will make a change in the server and finally do something about their server.
Thanks for reading :)
1) Fix your internet connection. If you're lagging, it must be your connection.
2) What kind of "change" to the server? All they need to do is upgrade the server.
