The lag is going to be worked on. Possibly on Thursday at the earliest, and the 24rth of this month at the latest.
I do not know why the lag has started so badly, especially when chatting but, is a known issue and will be delt with.
The server subscription ends at the end of this month so, in order to save server fees and costs, Karl has provided me with an old computer
to serve as a dedicated server computer. Once Karl has transferred the server to his computer at my house then, we will see if there is anymore lag. There shouldn't be :D
Once the server transfer is compete, Karl can save on server fees and use that money for something better, like time off or a little break. Maybe some other creature models and animations
I have been looking at.

It's posted in world chat and for any friends he has in-game he wanted them to know; so I find it was necessary enough to be posted.

Fair enough I suppose.

It's also to point out that the game is 100% unplayable. If you don't care, why'd you click the thread? The title says it all

Corrected.

I may sound like an old shoe, using beta as an excuse for everything, but the facts are:

1- The lag has been reported
2- It has been posted that the lag is being worked on
3- This is the FOURTH or FIFTH thread reguarding the lag (this is the most irritating part)
4- You have been informed over and over again that quick fixes and updates just aren't viable right now

Personally I'd like to see them take the server down until the issue got fixed, if it turned out to be a server issue, the fact that they had to disable the game would help their case in getting their money back.

Unfortunately it's likely a programming issue, and the more it happens the easier it should be to fix. In addition, taking down the servers isn't likely to help with all this rumor mill crap about ending development.

We just have to make sure we are making constructive posts as to avoid the same thing which happened to EJ. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of immature poo that man dealt with. At the moment I believe Morn and Part Time Modeler (a name would be nice) are doing a great job been spokes people and clearing alot of things up which Karl and such should not be dealing with. Stick I mean no disrespect but you did make a very questionable sounding title (which I think anybody with an interest in the game will click) and the substance was simply the already stated and cleared up in several previous posts. Although I completely understand the fact you were just informing your friends.
peace

Actually I'm sorry to be so aggressive. I've gotten so tired of these topics that i've become very defensive of a project I'm not even developing. I looked over my posts for the past few days, and I've become progressively more barbaric in my language and attitude.

A lot of people are very fustrated right now, and despite all of our clashes, we are all really just wanting this game to succeed. I'm urging you and everyone else, just please be patient. also realize as a Hobby, more important things can come up. They could move on to committed relationships, or a demanding career. Tomorrow could find this project discontinued. I don't want to encourage people to think of the developers as possibly ending this project, I just want people to realize that what the project is now, is what the project is. The development team has shared this with us AND invited our feedback. They probably could have done closed beta's for three more years, with just close local friends, and saved themselves a lot of headache, and still be FAR from doing a final release, just because of the demands of their lives, and the possible vastness of their vision of the project. Or they might get the game functional with a huge map and gear list, and then decide to leave it at that. Passing around the project to whoever wanted to host the server, have months of downtime at a time, much like Jerrath.

Ah yea that's where this became an necessary post and everyone knew it was going to lead to this statement so that's why they said it was unnecessary in the first place. Oh well....
