OMG NEW RECORD!

Not exactly.

It's a coding thing. The influx of new players has demonstrated a bug in the code.

You guys have already been useful and found a game breaking bug!

Hey, Jorb and Loftar, does that mean that the guy who introduced all the Russians to the game will get a pink cape?

Hello from Ukraine! This game is totally awesome! Hope problems will be fixed, and we will see 1000 online without lag. Go one guys, best wishes from far-away town =)

It's not RAM, it's bandwidth, but the problem is a bit strange, since I have four times as much bandwidth as the server is currently using. Loftar is looking into it.

Is it possible to attach servers to the regions where the majority of players are coming from?
Something like:

Server 1 - Asia
Server 2 - Europe
Server 3 - US
Servers 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 - Russia

I think when the server is totally overloaded this will help much.

I've observed these things about the lag:

- It is localized / gridbased: My friend who lives somewhere east of the main grid reports he barely has any lag at all.
When I helped out some new players today in Novigrad, the lag was annoying, but playable.
However, at my place, somewhere west of the main grid the lag is insane, as I described in my earlier post.

- The lag seems to spike/fluctuate; this morning, and just now, 15 minutes ago, lag spiked way up to a point that I couldn't even walk anymore, and village chat/party chat didn't update for over 5 minutes. I logged out, to find that a lot of players seem to be experiencing the same, as server population dropped to 50-something. I couldn't, and can't seem to connect to the server again, however, the game hasn't crashed and other people seem to be able to reconnect, as population raises again. This morning I could reconnect to the server again after some minutes, I suspect I can log in in a bit if I keep trying.
It has nothing to do with my internet connection.
Also, on a shorter timescale, lag seems to fluctuate as well, being annoying for some minutes, then semi-gone for 30 seconds or so.

And of course you are going to pay for all those russian servers right?

Do you realize the game is an alfa made by 2 students in their proverbial basement?

I mean this would be a good idea to keep in mind in future when the game pays off.

And have 12 players on each server? Sounds fun!
