    HARSHLANDS seem to be lagging out too!

    Never had this issue before ever since playing PWI for 3-4 months now.

    Fix please ^__^

    p.s.

    It is not due to my ISP.
    Bringing fear and widespread random deaths into the Harshlands, that is my goal..

    edit:

    tracing pwi.perfectworld.com tells there's over 10% loss from border2.t8-1-bbnet2.sje.pnap.net and edge2.ve255.sje-sje004-764.sje004.pnap.net

    Both Heavens Tear and Dreamweaver have been lagging badly today, restarting PWI several times helped sorta. I thought it was just my ISP but since multiple people reported as so I'm not so sure now.

    I have NEVER had lag issues.. until this last patch that is.. now, I get into a dungeon, start attacking something, and herc ends up dying because 20 seconds after I cast something, it finally goes off.. or I get DC'd and end up dying, or whatever
    It's not that simple.

    why not? I used to be the CTO of an ISP, if they take some of that money and buy a better server/more ram, and increase the size of the pipe they have running to the server, or setup a BGP backup pipe running to the same server on an alternate backbone provider, it would allow people to take alternate routes into the server as opposed to having to all go through the same router/switch in order to get to the server.

    We could all learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names (like chartreuse), and all are different colors....BUT they ALL exist very nicely in the same box!

    It's an assumption that they can afford to do that. In fact, it's an assumption made purely on the basis that a lot of players were buying zen. Further, it's an assumption that a lot of players were buying more zen then normal for the event.

    It is possible that people were, in fact, buying more than normal, but is it a fact? Even if they were, is it even enough to consider upgrading the equipment?

    Consider that this month they might exceed what they expected to bring in, and next month fall into the red.


    I'm speculating here, of course, but assuming something based not on fact, but on opinion or rumor is a mistake.


    Nothing is rarely as simple as it, at first, seems.

    the assumption is based on the simple fact that, gold disappears once u use it to buy GAs, only way to replenish gold in the market is people paying cash for zhen, unless of course PWI is feeding gold into gold auction themselves without telling us.
    Since PWI will never tell us anything about their earning from zhen buyers, we can only make the logical assumption that more people are buying zhen since more gold is being drained out of the economy at a highly accelerated rate and there is still plenty of gold left in the market. It is also based on the simple reason that, since gold prices have risen it is more profitable buying zhen now then before or most likely 2weeks later in the future, therefore more people will buy zhen now and possibly more zhen then they originally planned since its value has increased temporarily.
    As to if PW can afford to upgrade their servers, all company can always upgrade their service >.> its just whether its profitable or not earnings from this event probably isnt that big of an earning to be able to pay for some new equipment.

    Your logic is flawed.


    First is the assumption that people are only buying more zhen, and not simply converting zhen they had already paid for, and not transferred to a server.

    Second, it assumes that people who didn't normally put gold into the trade system are still not doing so.

    A third assumption is that the gold price went up because people were raising prices, and not because the lowest prices were being bought out. The higher prices might have already existed, just not shown since the system shows the lowest sellers and highest buyers.

    The fourth assumption is that anything earned in excess of expected amounts could be spent on new equipment just because they might have made more this month. It's not whether it's profitable or not. It might not be profitable for them to upgrade equipment/add servers etc as that could increase their operating costs, and since they operate like a retail company does by selling Zhen their profits can and will change month to month. Further it doesn't take into account that equipment upgrades are usually planned well in advance, and not simply when they make more money in a month or a week.

    Equipment upgrades can cost thousands of $$ which you should know if you worked for an ISP in the capacity you stated you did.


    It is entirely possible that this event was planned in order to generate revenue to help meet operating costs.

    Seems you have a partial clue how this works but BGP is really stupid. It has no idea of the quality of the circuits it runs on so if one is up but dirty it will keep using it. Even if you have a second ISP you have very little control over which path it takes. The best path may still prefer you first ISP for the majority of the traffic. BGP on the internet only allows 1 best path.

    In this case it appears their ISP has a issue with traffic loss a before it gets to PWI. It tends to be very hard and expensive to protect against this kind of failure. They can only call the ISP and complain but I'm sure the ISP already knows about it. I'm sure they have a second ISP if the first completely fails but you generally cannot see it until that happens.

    It is strange that the 2 new servers are seeing issues at the same time since those are suppose to be in a different location. The issue I saw earlier today in the trace route appeared to be in california.

    i think u misunderstood me for the last part when i was talking about the equipment upgrade. let me repeat it

    PW can afford to upgrade their equipment regardless of this event. However they would only do it if its profitable to them.
    The income from this jolly jones event is probably way 2 small for any type of upgrade they might attempt if any.

    that is what i meant, sorry if my wording confused u
