Planned downtime: OS upgrade

[Ogrim]

Terrible terrible lag. I'm not sure if this is possible but I think it got worse than before the defrag.

Loftar, a big thank you for the work on this game. I hope you gain some amount of personal satisfaction for keeping this game up to entertain so many of us.

I'm having normal level of lags. But I also cleared my java temporary memory. I'd advise others to do the same to see if that helps.

I get no lag no lag no lag, HUGE spike, no lag no lag no lag HUGE spike.

Also thank you for your hard work on H&H.
Quick question if you don't mind, are you planning to resume development on H&H again after stuff settles down with Salem?

How do we do this cleaning Javas temporary memory?.

Same here, in this huge lag spikes the toon goes back and forward 3 or 4 times until it walks towards the place I try to send it.
But besides this my toon stands still, not responding to whatever i try it to make, for about 10/15 seconds with very high frecuency like once each 2 minutes or so.
This is way harder to play then before the update.

longer yes, but not really harder, basically something that takes normally 5 min to achieve now takes 10

the bugger is that the lag takes any for of safe hunting out of the equation, I don't even try raid ant hills any more

Where is the physical server located?

Alright, you say the game isn't harder but that you can't even hunt ant hills. Since hunting and combat is a serious aspect of this game, I believe that the game has become much harder to play. Also, doubling the time it takes to do basic tasks makes the game harder to play. Obviously Loftar knows that the lag is a serious concern and has a dramatic effect on gameplay. I appreciate his work on this issue and would prefer for you to not minimize a serious issue.

On that note, if Loftar has some thoughts as to what kind of 'upgrade' might solve this problem and could estimate a financial cost for this upgrade... it might be time to start a H&H donor campaign. I'm not against throwing money at a problem if the proposal is fair and the problem is serious. I'll bet there are a few of us who feel that way.

Yes, I do. I really wish we can have some kind of upgrade and enjoy this wonderfull game.
But I remember reading (when someone propposed to donate) him saying that the issue was not so much the money as the time needed to make changes. Maybe Im wrong?.

And I feel bad thinking on him ruining hes weekend reading this posts we make and trying to find some kind of solution.
I wish to say that even the game has become hard to play I do apreciate a lot the effort invested on it and the work done.

Hey Loftar, just wondering if we can borrow some hnh players (preferably veterans) to help us.
Pretty much it's mainly to focus on a summary of features and issues that hnh players deal with and to see what's the most prior for development.

Pretty much at the moment not much of Hnh community knows about this, only oddity knows and is patiently waiting for development to start (reason for that explained on the site).
