Anyone else keep getting disconnected from Emerald? I got dropped like 3 times tonight. I might have to go back to Konreid if this keeps up.

What they need to do is lock the server as soon as it hits 4,000 peeps - over that and it gets laggy. Not this, poof we kicked you off thing either, but an actual lock, where you can't even get in.

Which sucks if you go linkdead, and then can't get back on.

What they need is to open more servers to account for the load. The only other solution is a larger game world with more machines supporting it.

well, since beta I have been on Markov, and it has had similar problem to emerald once it gets the load. It has prob 80% the load of emerald at any given time, so it isnt ever quite as bad, but still has enough people in it to populate the world at odd times and have great battles.

So, it is all around problems when the servers get too full. I am sure that it will get better in a few days/weeks

all i have to say is on emerald is.. i have never been kicked out.
no lag.. and i have been in some tough battles..

when playing this game.. no ftps.. or irc servers... even dc hubs should be run..
leave all the bandwidith for the game..
if still.. im sure SOE sees that shit and will address it.

i played in Markov during beta.. and been playing in emerald since the game came out.. and must say that the amount of action.. vehicles on the screen and all that other good shit makes emerald the server to be and i didnt lag a bit..

HoLLa bacK at ur boY!!!

Just now Emerald started to melt down. After a few hours of play with the same squad, on the same continent, hoorible lag struck. My entire squad got frozen, unable to respawn anywhere, we had to log off (which entailed clicking "quit" and then waiting 5 minutes for it to log off)...

Whats going on in Emerald? Some of the ppl I talked to on the server said it couldnt handle the number of players on it, and that they never stress tested the servers with numbers as high as are on them right now...

Was anyone else on Emerald around 8pm EST?

Trust me, they did stress /load test it during beta.. but they did'nt do anything about it. They've put up other servers, but since people insist on playing there they cant do anything except either limit logins (bad) or forcibly remove players (bad). =)

If they offered to let people move their char to Konried, I think many would volunteer. Why not have 2 good servers instead of one quiet one and one laggy one?

Well, after they've done with their first cleansing (ban/suspend) i bet there will be room on Emerald for everyone (left) to play there. :-)

They did put up a second East server during Beta at least..

If it keeps having problems go to konried
