Thread: Snowbourn Server Performance

Or allow free transfers from snowbourn to withywindle :-)

I don't think this is the case - we didn't have the lag before update 6. I doubt if the population has changed significantly since then - if anything it's likely to have gone down as people are put off by these problems.

We will be bringing engineers and other people directly related with the networking and connectivity aspects of our game to monitor and log any unusual traffic, networking issue, server performance issues, or internet troubles in general. We will have extra staff on hand to monitor this, particularly during US 'prime time' play tonight.

lol, "while it wasn't mentioned in release notes" is another way to say "we don't want to officially talk about this or get any more negative PR."

Lag/hitching is still as bad as ever, so I guess that's 0-3 on the attempt to "fix" the issue. But hey, maybe now, after 4 months, you finally have the tools to "maybe" be able to find out what the issue even is, and then "maybe" fix it...

Sigh.

More lag in Orthanc last night. 2 LMs and an RK in the group...

Could be good news. Have to wait and see, but not holding my breath, I think it's a pretty knotted complicated problem to sort out.

Keep the threads going and the pressure on It's up to Turbine alone to analyse and fix this quite unacceptable issue that they are well aware of.

Agree, its most notable during 12 man raids, specifically in the ToO.

Last night was poor during the Inn of Forsaken quest, whilst trying to mop up some deeds.

Please all, post http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...92#post6294992 <-- here. This should help and does at least indicate that Turbine acknowledge the problem.

More lag tonight. Glad to see that Kyanthir among others has posted about it.

Roll on the 15th Oct where we get to start the lag fest over again

So who is the muppet who tripped over the plug to our server?

At 28-9-2012 at 22.30 h local Amsterdam time the snowbourn server died. Judging by the comments worldwide just before I lost the server connection dozens of other people suffered lagspikes, rubberbanding and gamefreezes. This is UNACCEPTABLE turbine! Below par! One of the oldest and most densely populated servers deserves better. Moving the server away from Europe didnt help at all for the performance of its European player base but this just ends gameplay and fun altogether. Get your act together!

<---muppet. sry guys will plug it back in soon as poss.

Very bad timing for server crash

Kermit ?

Hello everyone! Apologies for the sudden server outage. However, our teams have caught the issue and Snowbourn is once again available for play.

Computer says no.

Still down

I was in Orthanc raid!!! this is sooo frustrating!! bosses were nearly down!

...nooooo fix serfver plz

Based on negative experiences for over a year now I actually hope they will never get the server back up until it is completely replaced by new hardware.

The team's looking into it now, everyone. Will get you an update momentarily.

It's aliiiiiiiive!

Good.

Aldnoth Cartman says "RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH", and Kenny looks forward to being not-dead.

Server is up again, yes, but hopefully this adds to the long list of problems this server has had and finally gets some attention... for whatever reason, performance on Snowy is much worse than on other servers, and as one of the higher population servers it really ruins gameplay.

All right everyone, as others have said, now the server is alive again. Enjoy your travels throughout Middle-earth!
