I realise this would be more appropriate in the Bug Report forum but I can\'t post there.. permission denied?
Lag has increased significantly since I noticed this:
On the planeshift.fragnetics.com news page:
2003.08.29
The Fragnetics team will be conducting load tests on the server Planeshift is hosted on by reintroducing other game servers to the system. Performance of Planeshift may be affected during this period. Should regular players experience some degradation in performance please voice your views on the forums.
I\'ve had far more frequent lagspikes all around the place, where frames drop to below 1fps.
A long wait will usually fix it, otherwise I usually try spawning or relogging.
The lag is often localised. Sometimes I\'ll be fine so long as I keep away from the main street between the Plaza and the Hydlaa Tower. More recently the lag hotpoints have also been around the Temple entrance and at the pully drop point below the Temple well.
FPS has always lowered at certain points like the top of the Tower and in the Basement where you can enter the Dungeon. However I don\'t think this is due to network, as it always happens.
Something strange I\'ve noticed is that if I walk into a lag hotspot and it hits me, bringing me down below 1fps, even when I manage to struggle my way out of that area, it can take up to a few minutes before I \"shake\" that lag, whereas I wouldn\'t have lagged at all if I walked around the hotspot.
I have experienced all this with a variety of machines and specifications, including dialup and broadband.
