The lag has been getting worse by the day, as have mapserver dis cons.

I haven't had a problem with lag for quite a while. O.o

Weird power lag Blue Side on Defiant today.
Kind of annoying as the bad guys'll happily fire off attacks while I run around furiously clicking my shooty powers to no avail.
Its been getting worse all week, but i doubt very much its the game/servers its going to be all the players fault again
There was some INSANE mapservering going on last night on Union - I forget the exact time it happened, other than 'it was after 9 o'clock'. But a large number of the RPers at Galaxy Girl all experienced rapidfire mapservers for a good 5 minutes (if not longer).
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* been having some rubberbanding now and then but nothing major like we had a few months back.
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Not had an ounce of lag all day but everyone i've spoken too has said they're getting it so there's definitely a problem.

I've had all the different sorts of lag there are over the past couple weeks. That includes severe mapserver DC's and actual server DC's.
What is NC doing to our servers?!
I've been noticing lag in chat at times for a few days. No mapservers not caused by my lousy ADSL router, and no real problems with missions or anything. Just long delays between hitting return and text posting.

Posts are OOC unless noted to be IC, or in an IC thread.
There are rumours going around that BT has switched on their Phorm system in the UK and that bandwidth is taking a hit, despite it only being a trial again (and no one seeming to know anyone who has been invited to it).
It's probably not that, but you never know. How that would have an effect on others in the EU though, I don't know.

Not encountered any lag this weekend.
Earlier I had some lag spikes but they are very rare.
Sometimes it helps to Defrag your harddisk(s) (several times). Running a virus search or spyware search. Cleaning up you know on your harddrive.
If you run many programs turn them off (specially if you use download stuff).
Sometimes however you can have done all above or more and still it is lag.. ok.. then its the server. But how long is it until last defrag?

Given that this seems to be hitting three ISPs particularly badly and most others hardly at all it would seem that it is network lag caused by the ISPs or their network suppliers rather than it being the servers.
The lag that most people suffer on ITFs is due to the huge number of mobs visible at once and is specific to that one mission - its possible to reduce it considerably by pulling some back so there are less that the servers need to check.

I'm finding the rubberbanding problem frustrating and seems to be getting worse for me. I'm also finding that the /sync command doesn't always fix the problem 
I've been rubberbanding like a [censored]! It sucks- Someone sort it please? 
For my money it seems that every time something new hits test we get these spikes and then they settle down after a week or so.

Only been experiencing problems red side, especially rubber banding and power activation as others have said before. Heroes is generally ok. But I've had these types of issues with villains since launch.

So I doubt you guys even need to guess what this thread is for so lets get to the point, Does anyone else think the Servers are suffering from Lag?? Reason I ask is all the way threw this ITF all i've seen is people saying how bad the lag is, and indeed seen it myself in the TF and Out of this tf all around the game.
So ladies and Gentlemen how has the game been treating you with this sinster Archvillain called LAG.
