The intermittent lag we have been seeing the last couple of days, is an issue that is under investigation. It started a couple of days ago, without us having done any changes on the server setup. The server has run with the same versions of the various hooks and plugins we use, for the last month and a half and quite stable so - except from the external DDoS attack there has been a 98.9% uptime on the gameserver.
We are investigating a couple of possible culprits, but as allways, with intermittent suddenly appearing issues, they take some time to figure out.
@ Spazzydragon - With the server down, we have no way of diagnosing and investigating the issue. And since the issue is intermittent, it would not make any sense to force a 100 % downtime, and at the same time take away the possibility of investigating the issue when it appears.
@ Collateral - See above.
@ MauriceH - Can you make a screenshot of that message, and upload it to a picture host, so we can see it ?
