Another useless lag thread...
Yes, lag is annoying. Yes,there has been a lot of it during the first month of this game. Yes, we the players want things to improve and will complain when it doesn't fast enough.
*sigh*
Here is my opinion on the subject since this seems to be the purpose of this thread.
The issue here seems to be server lockout (as in cannot login) not lag.
Lag is a SLOW connection (that may cause disconnect if very bad) Most ingame lag appears to be related to player usage; I can actually tell when school lets out (without even looking at the noob chat channel) Some lag seems to be caused by live maintenance, where they access the server without taking it offline. When I have suspected this is happening, the lag usually lasts less than 5 minutes.
As far as the login issues, these have been the most frustrating. I was unable to access server 2 for nearly a whole day once. I have seen numerous posts asking for server status information on the login page, or at least a message rather than an endless clock.
I believe there IS a message now during the scheduled maintenance.
Lack of communication from UMGE's actual paid staff is frustrating to players. It should be easy to create a simple status page to inform us when servers are expected time to be back up, or be honest and say "no clue".
The staff HAVE accomplished a lot in the past 4 weeks, new servers, updated interfaces, bug fixes. They have not SAID much to address player issues, and there is still much improvement needed, but they ARE making improvements.
I believe the situation will continue to improve.
