Why do you not want to listen?

[Arucado]

This has been requested thousand times, and you never give an answer. Im talking to the devs of the server.

Im pretty sure you are awared that this server gets a horrible delay when it goes higher than 6k people online.

Im online right now, 9k players are online, i have 35ms and PVP is UNPLAYABLE, 1 second of delay, this is atrocious, i can't even imagine the lag that US people have right now.

Of course now there are people who will post "it's you, i dont have delay". I don't know if you are just liars or you have the NASA internet provider, but the delay is real.

Why the hell don't you considerate other ways to solve this? You always say "we are looking for solutions to optimize the quality of the server". Devs, there are other ways, free migrations to the PVE server, setting a player cap (since vanilla was made for 2500 characters online, not x5), making another server, i don't know...

And this is not all, the overpopulation makes the farming horrible and AH prices absurd.

Another point i wanted to check is that a huge part of the population are Russian and Chinese players. Those players know 0 english (im from spain for example, every EU player should know a minimum of english) but Ru and Chinese only play between them, so this population problem could be easily solved.

Im talking about the thread that was recently opened, a server for Chinese/Ru people would be really good. This would make the endless farm, delay and communication problems solved.

And to end with this, i know there are many trolls in the forum, there are good people aswell, i just want to point that im not trolling, i'd really like to discuss this since i think is the best for the server currently.

Greetings.

since it's obviously not related to our connection to the server:

they usually have a ping of 200-400ms. u know what ms means? millisecond , so if there is a delay from 1 sec + 200-400 they have a delay from 1.2 -1.4 seconds
simple math

It's even worse can go upwards for 2-3+ full second delay on abilities and enemy movements for us american players. For instance, one thing that happens to me a lot that never happened to me on any other private server or retail server is how I can pop perception when i know a rogue in nearby, find him, hit him out of stealth and still get sapped right after i hit him out of stealth. It happens because of the lag delay. For the rogue, he sapped me before I hit him, but for me, I hit him a full 2-3 seconds before I got sapped in my screen, so it looks like a non-stealthed, in-combat rogue just sapped me. Another one would be where you would silence/counterspell/kick or otherwise try to interrupt a cast from an enemy player, and even though it lands when the player is casting they dont get silenced because they actually got the cast off , you just don't see it yet because of lag delay. Countless times I have fought like a mage or warlock 1v1 get them low hp and use hammer of justice stun when they are mid fear or sheep cast. They get stunned and I'm thinking, ok time to finish them off... then all the sudden I turn into a sheep while the enemy is standing there stunned...

"Why do you not want to listen?" Because the whole world doesn't revolve around you and everyone else that feels entitled enough to come on the forums and complain about a problem we and everyone else knows to exist. Nostalrius started as a project built out of passion, they are doing this according to their vision. Not yours.

There have been countless threads on this, and there's a reason the last one was locked. It has been beaten to death, and everyone keeps complaining and coming up with magical solutions that will for sure work. We all know there is some delay, but you need to realize the work behind this project, things like "MAKE A NEW SERVER" or "USE TRANSFERS" aren't magic solutions. We would split the community and server resources even more thin than it is, and the transfers will not work from a higher patch to a lower; a GM said it was never going to happen. You need to look at the complications / time / work/ and money that would be needed.

"OMG LAG DO SOMETHING NOW". This is a private server that was never expected to be this big, on a server that wasn't meant to hold this many people. With volunteers who don't have income to upkeep this. All they can do right now is optimize their current server and network through scripting and coding. The only option, as has been discussed before, is for people to start a kickstarter or fundraiser to raise more money for another dedicated server, or another server host. That would solve all of our issues because it would free up a lot of resources on the other servers.

Its funny how mad and deeply upset people get because a free server and game they play isn't 100% perfect when they want it to be. Things don't always work exactly perfect, alll we can do is wait and hope they optimize their code, and enjoy it as much as possible. Or, actually do something and start raising money or awareness instead of creating shit threads whining and crying about the same thing over over.

TLDR; stop whining and do something about it
