Performance Lag

This is the all encompassing "lag" experienced by a player when the client slows down and fails to respond in suitable time. There are numerous variables that affect client performance. It's one of our primary focuses now that we are adding resources to work on quality and performance.We have already rolled out a few memory optimizations with many more on the way. We have decreased our memory footprint and decreased the overall size of the game. Additionally, we are cleaning up much of our combat code that should provide significant improvement during combat. Beginning on Monday, we have a new AI engineer whose sole job will be to improve our AI code…beginning with performance.

 We have significant potential in this area. Over the coming weeks, you will see a slow and steady improvement of performance. I ask you that you be patient while we roll these out. Many are risky and require quite a bit of testing. However, they are coming. We are slowing down feature development and focusing on quality. Look to see smaller features that are geared more toward usability and a slow but steady improvement in quality.
