[LAG/STABILITY] Ongoing lag issues megathread!

Non-2x = Playable.
2x is hardly even playable if you're trying to train efficiently.
Now they are running some silly event "physical fitness test" on top of all the other issues. As if I'd even think of trying to step in to that crowd....just happen to see it pop up in blue text earlier, and the lag was so bad that I had to re-log just to click my hot week box again, then wait for 30 seconds for it to tell me that I received the box.
- Servers are not up to par for the massive overpopulation of people sucking the life out of the 1 and only Reboot server, and not being P2W is what 99% of players always wanted in the first place
- Seemingly apathetic/inept team at helm of the Nexon ship
- Out-of-date/inefficient code
Now, these gripes don't come without some presented possibilities for solutions. I've made a post about it over here- http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/6604/suggestions-for-the-next-big-maintenance#latest
Right now though, the hottest issue is the unbearable lag. That ruins anybody's day when it comes to an MMO. Any event Nexon runs brings an influx of hyper amounts of server activity on Reboot (were almost every one plays), and just compounds the already present problems.
Nexon doesn't like lag but what more can they do? Investing into better servers would take money and if people LOST THE HYPE AND QUIT, ALL THAT MONEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED.
That's probably the reason why Nexon isn't making any rash decisions.
People have quit in the past after the hype is over. When there is new hype, they come back then they leave.
It's the same process that has been happening for years now.
So if you want the lag to be fixed immediately, don't expect Nexon to fix it anytime soon unless the hype is over.
You might as well consider 2x as break time because that's the main reason why it lags
But now, the in-between event times are just lackluster at best. Add to that which now there isn't much of a reason at all to play even my favorite event, which is the Maplemas event, so I skirt around 2x events or whatever that is going on with GM events recently and only just get the bonus rewards from a daily mission, and such.
I wanted to get the special items from a coin store, but that looks like a non-option now and the lag is just terrible anyways! I don't even feel like investing in cosmetics on reboot now because the game is nothing of what it used to be like. It is simple not as fun anymore and that makes me sad.
Don't get me wrong, the lag is definitely not acceptable.
I 100% agree with you.
In fact, i'm part of the problem on why we are lagging because I just came back!
I have good advice though you are going have to sacrifice 2x.
2x is mainly the reason why we are lagging since that's when everybody hops on to train.
Now here's the thing! I level FASTER without 2x than 2x, because during 2x it's non-playable.
You can consider 2x as break time?
I personally don't really play the newer classes.
Only for the link skills but I play a lot of the old classes.
During the week it's totally bearable, but when 7PM EST on a Friday comes and then all the 2x events during the weekend starts, that's when the real lag starts as well.
(Though this is on a non Reboot channel so I don't know how it is during the week, however I can sympathize with the OP because I haven't been able to work on my burning character either, but that's mostly because of the server time reset)
