yup, terrible lag spikes for me, UK on NTL cable, all other web sites load fine, online games play smooth and fast, SGW runs so slowly it's unplayable at times, main only, although the other games do spike a little bit, main i can't even risk farming unless it's morning when the server isn't under so much stress :(

I use FireFox, i never had a problem with these spikes until maybe the last 10 days, but there getting worse its getting to the point i either have to log out and back in, or wait 10+ mins for it to load, and thats not good when your raiding or moving big amounts of naq around.

yeah, i use FF, but as genchaos says it's been getting steadily worse lately and since Quantum, chaos and TAW all work fine i know it's not my browser, lol.

Well I have to say I've had some spikes but they happen maybe once every 2 hours and they normally only last a few minutes... I live in Canada though so... Hmm well if you use fire fox... I really dont know what else to say...

You might want to e-mail or PM Forum and see if he's doing anything about it...

Personally I very rarely have a problem - using IE7 on Orange broadband.

I use FF on an 8Mb line and its terrible, you get the standard lag on the turn, but then when the game timer hits about 6 mins after the turn the lag starts and this can last anywhere from 1 - 15 mins, its horrible.

Ill have to hook it up with IE and see if it makes a difference but i cant see it, i wonder is there a node down somewhere between the UK and the SGW server.

i have to say some things:

i used firefox too, on which it´s very slow!!
tyr opera or internet-explorer.
and second: its very slow when the time to to get turns has come...i think its because of the mercenaries

I noticed that aswell, between 22:00:00 game time, and about 2:00:00 game time, the server is awesome...no better time to raid :) Too bad that is around 2-4 in the morning where I live... :x

And I have also noticed that FF is horribly slow in comparison to IE most of the time...Too bad IE doesn't have tabs, or I would use that all of the time... :roll:
