fight fight fight! :D
I'm back in, and by the looks of it, they indeed froze food consumption during the time it was down.
Do we get anything? due to the long maintenance that Evony is so brilliant at?
maybe? :D
Well, and there we are. About 7 hours after extended maintenance, lagging reeeeaaallly bad. I am getting prety ****ed off now.
Weren't they ""fixing"" things??
Hey Gwenny, yea experiencing severe lag
Briar!! that has been way too long!!!! Been trying to whisper you for a couple of days to catch up, but didn't get the times right.
Try cussing long and loud in dutch, it helped me get the lag away :)
This Lag is insane.. wt:modedit: evony.. thought you were fixing this not making it worse
Ok everyone I worked out what our compensation package we got for this down time this time, guess what they gave us.
We get massive Lag, lag that we cant do anything as the game lags out, cant attack cant farm cant do squat, all we can do is chat and chat, oh and if your lucky you may get to whisper , but then you will be frozen up and lag lag lag, just what we all wanted for the 7 hour down time with out warning that we got, come on evony guys how hard is it to fix this mess up, this lag sux.
fix the :modedit: lag!
:duh::duh:
please
SOON!
thank you
WTH?? You fixed something!? The server has never been worse...people cannot farm or attack. I tried to send a mail and got booted right out. If this is how you fix things, please leave them alone.
It even shows the Server as offline by the green/red button when you first log in.. this server is screwed and im gonna refuge by the end of the night THANKS EVONY
They should just take the server down and FIX IT.. instead of letting it go like this.. Atleast upkeep will be froze and everyone wont have to live in fear of being the subject to Melri's wrath :)
Another night of watching movies , reading books and maybe going to bed early , thanks alot Evony , great fixit job , me thinks the shoestrings and bubblegum fell off , now lets try and do it right , Duct Tape will fix anything :rofl:
yet agin evony on ss46 is down thank you fro the weak attempet at a comp pack 500k food realy thats like 1 min worth the food for some of us but then yet agin today evony has crashed and many cant get on after a full day of bad lag nice job evony at the better exsperiance
The game is now unplayable...compensate that...
yes! i get 5 ammys to get my food back up from refuging cause i couldnt FARM because of the LAG! maybe i shoulda cleaned my cache.. eh? lol nice one Evony.. So uh, Since we can barely play why not take the game offline for a bit ? like last night?@
Are all the people experiencing lag coming from the same country/state/area?
Some people aren't experiencing any lag at all..
Oh i take that back.
Lag right now is SS57-Level Lag...
Nasty... can't do anything at all..
:(
yeah im reading WC now...
lag is terrible :p
Reminds me of SS57 or SS60..
I wonder... is SS46 headed down the same path?...
Never know with Evony...
I wanna know why Dave got on. probably read this thread and got off like nothing was wrong..
So the "improved game" was to have severe lag all day...cause I can see nothing else has changed.
Get real
Thats what the improvement was.. improved lagg lol, its the worse we have ever had. and what is messed up is. Dave logged in. maybe read this and got off. cant say he wasnt cause i saw him on :)
Greetings! We've taken ss46 offline somewhat early to do some maintenance which should improve performance. We expect this server to be offline for about another 1-2 hours. Thanks for your patience while we work to improve the game!

IMPROVE?????? how is lagging constantly an improvement?? and wth 5 ammys and 500k food good grief is that the best you can do to make improvements? Tell me one thing about 7 hr maintanace and continual lag that is an improvement....
They are not going to help us the main people they should be making happy, because they are to lazy.. Dave is rude to people on the forums, and he knows CS sucks at what they do.. cant get a response for several days after the fact. its :modedit:
I was going to say the same thing to you earlier, as I had decided for kicks I'd check and see what the server was like shortly after the first lag comments cropped up tonight, but I seriously doubted you'd believe me. What I saw was just slightly less than the worst I saw on ss57.
Still consistent on the high city count...
Based on what happened to previous threads about server performance, expect this one to be closed relatively soon too.
Yes Neko.. hopefully that won't happen..
Here's the strange thing in this case different from SS57 or SS60...
Before the "SS46 Extended Maintenance" 24hrs ago, everything was perfectly fine.
http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?p=1705489
After the 7hrs+ that it took the "extended maintenance" to finish, then +6hrs after.. that's when all the lag started..
In short, everything was perfectly fine for everyone before the extended maintenance...
(puzzled)
ss46 ready wow !
Maybe evony devs should stop with their daily maintenance. That would be awesome. No maintenance for a week. Sweet deal. Or how about a new server in which you pay monthly to be on? (Not popular for our non-spenders) But its an idea nonetheless :):knight:
Well WoW has lived off that setup for years now..
Evony can give it a shot :)
I think there were posts here and there about people getting the "Network Connection Error" message from this server.
I also think that this server used to be hosted out of California and not Washington, where all the other problem servers seem to be...
That said, when I ping battless46.evony.com, I now have a Washington data center IP, 208.88.18.151. The 208 IPs are in Washington, where as the 64s are in California.
The only way to know for sure if this is the case is to see if there are traces of DNS history for the server being at the Cali address block.
Good thing I'm not sleepy... :rolleyes:
Edit: Current actual game server name is m00046-ad.evony.com at 208.88.18.51. The battless46.evony.com is at 208.88.18.151.
Edit2: I can only find this information out if I pay for a lookup / history site subscription. I am relatively sure that the server has been moved though. I'd say 90% or so. If it was relocated, that could explain the lengthy delay, as the process would go generally like this:
Cali server shut down.
Washington server up or brought up.
Data transfer initiated. <--- That's where the majority of the variability in time to completion comes into play.
Data transfer completed.
Server processes brought back up.
Some tests to make sure things look ok. Minimal load, so no load test at this point.
Change network routing / DNS.
Open the server for login.
Interesting... im also thinking along the same path...
If their "upgrades" involved rerouting to another area...
Which can explain the really bad lag happening today :/
If that's the case... i wonder why evony would intentionally put an existing server on defective hardware :(
Is ss46 down again ??? to days running???
oh and thanks for the 500k food for yesterday i only lost 100mil while the
server was down.
How about employing people who have some idea how to run this game.:mad:
gee 500mil Mel that wouldn't have even feed you cat LOL
so we had 'extended' maintenance yesterday, a ridiculously poor compensation package, and now the server is worse than ever, have barely been able to get a farm run out, and now maintenance has hit earlier than usual. time to troll the internet and see if i can find a more reliable game, suggestions please people...avoiding such things as farmtown/ville....or other such nonsense!!
Thanks
Pix :modedit:
hmm, and i did ask a question in my very first post on this thread....but been moved to general discussion section instead of help and questions.....was my question invisible???
They haven't a clue what Adtaq (the hosting provider in Washington) is doing, in my opinion, and neither does Adtaq, also my opinion. M5 Hosting (San Diego) seems to do a much better job in general, but that's where the game-wide outage happened at a few weeks ago, so dunno....
Hello Evony!
On Server SS46, we had an "Extended Maintanance" that lasted 7hrs+ yesterday.
The reason for this was, as quoted: "Greetings! We've taken ss46 offline somewhat early to do some maintenance which should improve performance. We expect this server to be offline for about another 1-2 hours. Thanks for your patience while we work to improve the game!"
Apparently, the opposite has happened.
Lag is a LOT WORSE NOW. :duh:
Here are examples of what's happening now:

http://i51.tinypic.com/v7tkxf.png
Funny eh?
Before the "Extended Maintenance", SS46 was doing fine. No complaints about lag, etc. Now, everyone is experiencing unbearable lag. :modedit:
This could only bring to mind horror stories about SS57, 54, 60....
*Crosses fingers that SS46 isn't heading down the same path*
Any help from the Evony Gods would be appreciated
