Hi all,

I didn't find a topic about the recent lag, so I'm opening one to hear how the lag is for you guys.
For me personally the game's speed is more or less acceptable at times, while at other times it's too slow to bother playing at all, especially around rollover or when there's alot of ppl in the hospital.

Do you guys experience a constant lag, or do you feel like the overall speed's ok, or does it slow down at times, or...?
Plz post your findings here.

Thanks,
Mach

Its really slow after rollover, it takes like a couple hours for it to recover to better speed. All im hoping is that some one fix's it.

Im not on this game much anymore because people have issues and admin never gets back to them. In the past month there is a huge lack of on line members due to the lag. Makes me want to log off for good.

I am in complete agreement with all that have posted thus far. Since the server switch, the performance of the new server had shown a lack of improvement. Especially, when the majority of the loyal MK mobsters all log on around rollover. When the online population hits around 40-50 mobsters online... the server does not seem to be capable of handling the traffic. However, during other hours of the day when there are only about 20-30 mobsters online, it runs at an acceptable pace. Not perfect, but tolerable. Although, there are still some random lag hiccups throughout that time frame as well. Hopefully, an investigation regarding this issue will be put into play soon or I fear the many new mobsters that join us daily on MK... will unfortunately lose interest rapidly due to this and never return again. It would be a shame for something such as this to cause newcomers to turn away from the opportunity to experience the full potential this game has to offer.

Also, I would like to address the slashes( \ ) that appear when typing apostrophes ( ' ) or quotations ( " ). The Gang Shoutbox and Private Messages are infected with this. They also multiply when used in and replying to messages in game. Perhaps most people are not bothered by this bug, but I for one am. It drives me crazy! It all began happening directly after the server switch and I am sure everyone can provide proof if asked about it. Hopefully, that can be an easy fix. That is all for now. Thank you for your time.

Regards,

TJ

I will echo everyone's comments about the lag being at it's worst at rollover. It does randomly appear during other times also. It is better than before the server switch, but seems to be headed in the same direction as before. And yes TJ, the "/" are present just like you stated. Hopefully this issue can be corrected or the game will start losing players as many have stated.

Allright, so we can say there's still way too much lag, especially around rollover.
@ Admin, I hope this proves the server is not "lightning fast"...
Please upgrade!!

Thanks in advance.

The lag has become so bad at times that I get the following message displayed: http://gyazo.com/fcbeca6e8077c31b7bcc43b949d60c09

It becomes quite difficult to play when you can't even access the game in the first place. I would like to state that there is something going on with the script. Every time I log in I get a script error message asking if I would like to continue the script or not. I'm not sure what's been going on that is causing all the issues with the server speed and the slashes in the messages (as TJ stated), but the speed did improve when the server was moved. However, I would like to see this game be back at the level that it once was. It is my hope that the issues are resolved VERY SOON! If not, this may cause me to stop playing altogether!

I just don't get it. There is no real server load and this is a beast of a server right now.

I'll log on at rollover tonight, but so far the server has been like lightning to me. Argh.

Today's rollover was the worst yet for me. When I tried to do anything I would lose the page and get a message saying the site is offline and I could view a cached page. Then when trying that it says to try a live page then it came back until I tried something else. It did this 3 times.

Well, part of the problem appears to be perception-based. Some of us perceive the game to be responding slowly and others see the game as responding "lightning fast." Why not gather some data to make our points? I just installed a "ping" extension on Chrome that will allow me to time the response rate of pages on MK that appear to give me the most problems. I'm getting a realtime readout of the response times. I know you can download a similar extension for Firefox. I haven't checked on other browsers.

In Chrome: ResponseTimeMonitor
In Firefox: Pingler
