Yay redeemed!!! Got my CE Digital stuffs. Gonna go back for lunch and get it in-game. Hehehe. Anyways, is the prevailing rate for GBP good now? Would this be a good time to purchase for the 180 days pass? Or wait for a better time and rate?

So basically the initial idea to get GBP for a cheaper rate has backfired on us? Dammit don't care la, just enjoy the game only.

how come 300 and not 316? can shed some light?

Any difference between the 30/90/180 days subscription other than price wise?

Got any bonus for subscribing more?

Can tell me where to see the list of rewards for 30/90/180?

I was told there is too but i cant find it

Anyone using Unifi been having bad lag to NA servers since yesterday night?

Server: Leviathan (NA)
Lag start time: around 19:00 August 26th until now (still lags).
Casting Protect = takes about 3-5 seconds to take effect.....

ISP: TMNet Unifi 5Mbit, Shah Alam

Troubleshooting performed:
1) Reboot = Still lag
2) Used a different PC = Still lag
3) Reconnect to get different WAN IP:
a) 175.x.x.x = lag
b) 110.x.x.x = lag
c) 60.x.x.x = lag
4) Used different router = lag

Temporary solution:
I had to use a VPN proxy in Canada to make the game playable without lag.
Thus, I think TMNet Unifi have some routing issues. A friend using Streamyx with IP 60.x.x.x does not seem to have this issue.

Anyone else is getting the lag as I did?

so lucky i chose Masamune!

thxs to shoji seduce me into JP server. the ping is freaking nice. tho i did not join u guys at masamune, but haf fun and all the best to the guys in that server.

BTW, got World vs World? 

Which server you are playing on?

Played in Tonberry in OB, Masamune in EA, never had a single issue (except character creation restricted during 1st hour)...never seen error code. Seriously. Don't believe, ask around.

So, I suggest for your better gameplay experience in long-run: change to a JP server.

tho they won't reply u in Eng, but most player knew what they had to do juz eng is so hard to find player in tonberry. but hey after putting J, it is so freaking easy  most of my runs now is with the japs.

As someone who works in infrastructure/servers/networking/IT/etc. for a company that does large-scale multiplayer games, I might actually be able to.
First, not everything scales linearly. Within a given 'world', in the servers that handle people online, you may have one 'server' that can handle 5000 people online at once, but adding a second server may not get you to 10000; two servers together may only be able to handle 9000 people; three servers might only get 12000, four might allow for 14000, and five might support 16000.

This can be due to the overhead of managing multiple characters and multiple interactions. If you have two people in one zone, and you're updating their positions every 1 second, you have to send 2 updates every second per person (updating each person with their official location and everyone else's location), so 4 updates total. If you have 4 people (twice the number of people) you have to send 16 updates per second. If you have 8 people, you're sending 64 updates per second (each 8 person getting 8 updates). This is a really simplified example, but it shows how 2+2 can be a lot more than 4.

So if you have a case like that, you have the option of spending those 'five servers' on one world to handle 16,000 people, or five worlds to handle 25,000 people. This is why the solution to capacity problems in MMOs is usually to open new worlds, and not just to grow existing ones.
Obviously these systems are more complex. A single 'world' is made up of dozens of components (character servers, combat servers, chat servers, instance servers, dispatch servers, login servers, etc.), and each one of these systems could have the same issues, and completely different load profiles and scaling issues. Because 'instance servers' appear to be shared across all worlds, they have to handle the capacity of every single dungeon, instanced fight, etc. for every single NA/EU world concurrently, which means that they scale completely differently than the rest of the worlds.

Another problem those servers had was that because no one could create an instance, a lot of people got backed up at the same points; before Sastasha, before Ifrit, before your level 20 class quest, etc., so now instead of having players spreading out across the level curve, you have huge clusters of people catching up to each other like something out of Amazing Race.
Then they bring the instance servers back up, and everyone rushes to do their instances. All the Ifrit fights, all the lv5 quests, all the Haukke Manor runs. Now suddenly instead of having instances spread out because levels are spread out, you have a huge proportion of players all trying to get into instances at once, and your load spikes, and now no one can get in. Now it's a completely different problem; instead of being unable to handle the common case of instance requirements, you can't handle the case of a large proportion of people online trying to run an instance, all happening at once.

One of the problems with servers is that if your servers are overloaded, it's easy for your monitoring tools to start failing (because the system won't run them because there's too much else going on), and you can have problems logging in. In those cases, you can have servers which hit their capacity in unexpected ways, suddenly, before you have a chance to spot the problem and figure out what's happening. For example, a memory leak that only happens sometimes can take down a server rapidly, and make it extremely difficult to track down because once the server has died you can't log in to debug it.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of their downtime was trying to work around those issues while also adding a lot of debugging information so they could track down what exactly was happening on the server and find the source of the problem (instead of just trying to mitigate it).
So for that instance issue, it doesn't matter how many servers they add to run instances, if they're still going to have them die off too quickly because there's a software bug they need to fix, or because each server adds less and less capacity because of non-linear scaling.

That's just my two cents though. It could be a dozen other reasons.

Sweet, now you made me happy I don't work in an IT/Infrastructure line. Sounds like it would be busier than running a full-scale war.    So for those complaining, take a chill pill and go play in the non-congested worlds like I do. Luckily last night took the wife out to movies and got back at 12 plus at night so could log in super smoothly.    I've got a character in Ultima that I go find whenever Masamune is down. 

I have to lv up crafting class till lv19 just to complete 1 enhanced-dagger quest -,- .
