Absolutely fascinating some of the reactions ;)
Interestingly nobody who owns or runs these servers has written “well actually tipper, you’re wrong, the servers don’t lag."
In fact pwnage linked to another thread which I hadn’t noticed partially dealing with this issue.
The only sever owner who has acknowledged how intensely irritating it is to be lagged off a server mid game is pwnage; the rest seem mainly indignant that a mere player, who isn’t even capable of coding (gasp) let alone encumbered with the truly altruistic nature required to finance such servers should have the temerity to even mention on a public forum that perhaps all is not well in the ladder servers of ac ^^
So, some don’t like my writing style; tough. As far as I can see, the comments are in the right section, mildly amusing if you don’t happen to be taking yourself too seriously, and, the resolution of the problem, if possible, of great benefit to the ac community.
Perhaps it has, since Anderson's post, dawned on those who have implied that the OP was some thinly veiled bit of inter clan bashing that three of the Bob ladder servers are in fact owned by members of DES (I’m pretty sure I’m still a member ;)) Of course, others seem to have failed to notice that I also mention TyD servers and many will know of my long term support and gratitude for all the work that clan has put into ladders over the years.
The truth is simple. I couldn’t give a toss who owns the servers and I posted because there is a problem and it isn’t being addressed. As Edward points out, the ladder servers should represent the Gold standard of ac. My experience of them over the past month and I believe the experience of many others who have also been lagged off, is that at the moment they are far from it.
Now if what it takes is all you awfully clever chaps getting together in a huddle in some quiet corner of ac mines to discuss the intricacies of server coding then cool; I’ll move my wheelchair. If a bit of DEV input is required double cool, (I know at least one is aware of this problem) I don’t know how to fix the problem myself; it seems beyond the rather primitive collection of hammers I’m used to fixing my computer with. However apparently some of you are not only saints but also have better tools so perhaps you collectively could look into it; pretty please with cookies again and I’m ever so grateful etc.
