RE: [Openme-developers] Reported Problems

Hi,

You may have already spoken to my girlfriend Kiriel about the speed
problems. I'm alliance leader for the Regulators and have been talking
to some of my members on AIM and IRC about how they are experiencing it.

I've got one from the US, his speed is fair but not good. 

I've got one from Germany who has as many problems as I have, both in
page build times (mostly between 11 and 33 seconds) and good page builds
but also extremely slow when the page builds are closer to 2 seconds.

I've got one from Sweden who has got a great connection.

I've got another from Holland whose speed is like the German one and
like ours.

My current status: 
- I've been doing 3 sectors in 8 minutes.
- My ping times are good, between 40 and 50 ms.
- Traceroute shows no hickups anywhere.
- Most pagebuilds take between 11 and 33 seconds (not ms, seconds)
- Even when the pagebuild states 0.2 seconds, it still takes a lot
longer to load, minimum I've timed (stopwatch) was about 10 seconds,
most are about 30 seconds even up to a minute. 
- Quite a few page requests never load at all.

The problem is the same as last round. Great pingtimes but still
incredibly slow. It got worse during the last round and it's even worse
now. I've played many online games from this connection and never
experienced anything like this. My main game for 2.5 years was Imperial
Conflict before I moved here and they used Bredband for a long time as
well. I experienced no problems with their speed then and I'm using the
same ISP.

I'm only half-technical and haven't a clue what the problem is, but from
what I can see I can only conclude that it's not Bredband and it's not
my ISP.

With the current speeds, I fear my alliance (we've been recruiting
during the downtime and are now counting 18 members) will fall apart if
things don't improve. Almost all will quit playing if the speed doesn't
improve.

I hope the info above will help. If I can help in any other way, please
let me know.

Regards,
Sergio

Hoy

some of you are experiencing speed problems. The problem is that its not
the AP server thaty barely has a load. Its probably the swedish ISP that
has problems with people from across the ocean :)


We are ofcourse working fulltime on it

If you are expericing pages that gives exstreme buildtimes, message game
admins

thankyou
