Why do you keep using the word they when it's only one persons decisions?

Staff have always agreed with the players that the servers need to be better.

Because I don't really know who manages the graal apps but I was assuming it's a group of people lol, and they only need enough complains until they decide something needs to be done

Well, it's pretty obvious no matter how many people complain at the end of the day they will still play the game.

The manager could care less about upgrading because he is making a lot of money with the state it's at now.

Actually, the machine that Classic uses is going to be upgraded fairly soon. It was going to happen at Christmas, but the playercount was at its peak and people were actively buying presents, etc. If it doesn't happen by the end of Spring then I will be surprised. I don't personally believe that this is going to fix the 'pausing' lag though, but we'll see.

Can upgrading server reduce the amount of delay? Some Central/South American players have insane amount of delay. They have good moves, but like their delay is forcing them to be defensive or else they can't win.

Soon in Classic means 2 - 3 years/never.

But it will fix the average lag enough to play with warpers etc again right?

10 other threads about this, should know by now that posting here isn't going to solve anything
making a separate server is such an awful resolution to this

if they paid enough attention to do something like that, they might as well do it the correct way and simply upgrade the server's hardware and make it more resilient to the rising amount of players

Whatever fixes lag, didn't put that they should upgrade the server because idk how that goes and if they would even do that, theyve made a separate server before and it reduced lag so ye I didn't feel like putting something that looked impossible

Probably not since this has to do with mass congregation of players and even most MMO's handle this through instancing servers.

instancing servers.

Are you talking about different channels? Like channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3, etc?
You guys should add an option to reduce number of people visible within a certain area, I'm not sure what it was called. Max Players Shown On Map? And players would disappear and new players would appear as you move around the world.

Hate to be the party pooper, but I don't think ownership really cares about the competitive community. I would guess they mainly focus on keeping the socializing community happy.

I think people would prefer to socialize with less lag.

GOAT · 01-26-2015

Why? They don't move.

I guess I am the only one who presses the d-pad/keyboard keys to walk around in this game.

How does lag interfere with you exploring? I have a crappy device and I don't have any major issues walking around.
