Maybe because we can't see other players

Has nothing to do with randomlook(it has been enabled for about two weeks now) or not being able to see players(most of those areas were removed after Christmas break). The changes made to those do not correlate to the increase in server performance.

I heard from a pigeon that the iPod Touch 6G Overclocked Version has been gaining some ground. Now that Obama is gone, we might hear the good news (and not sirens from all the crime after he left).

loool

who would have thought that the holiday lag would end when the holidays ended

Servers were at 95-100% cpu during holiday times even when the server playercount was at 3500 players, 90+% when there were over 3000 players. Now at 4000 players the server cpu is only clocking in around 85%.

hail breadcrumbs

i wonder if it had something to do with like...presents n stuff. didn't really play much so i don't know when it was lagging/when it wasn't.

Lotta people's houses did seem to get extremely laggy with over 300 presents in them

Nah it lagged before Christmas as well. Weekends were pretty bad as far as performance goes.

Not the same type of lag.

W/e I'm just glad we get a break from it

Edit:
Ha nvm, it's complete garbage atm. Everyone's spawning where they die and stuff

rakin' in that good karma

Maybe I'll start farming again. Couldn't do that during christmas week. If there is less lag, I'll let you know. I'd have to wait for 4k people though, because there were huge fire breath delay times.

It was lagging a few hours ago, stopped after a while tho. Every few min it got bad and people kept respawning where they died in MoD and menus wouldn't load. Only 3600 were on during this time.

we were updating a core script (6~ hours ago) a few times that tends to "freeze" the server for a minute or two each time we do so.
