Lag

Written by: Iosai the Anomaly

Addressed to: Everyone


All,

Lag is a beast that many of you will know well, and rightly resent. Some
of the Envoys have raised this issue to me and noted that, during group
combat - when the appeal of Lusternia should be at its peak - the lag
makes things almost unbearable. I have reviewed a number of the logs
produced during a particularly recent large group battle and tackled
some of the main causes to achieve a >75% reduction in lag caused by
those problem parts of the code. This should significantly reduce
noticeable lag during group battles.

However, it is not enough to do that and move on. Therefore, I will be
committing to this as an ongoing process until I am suitably satisfied
that Lusternia is sharp, snappy, and responsive in all situations to
ensure that you can focus on honing your skills rather than sitting and
waiting for things to catch up. I will do some profiling work every
month and regularly push out updates to resolve the major problems by
working with your diligent Envoys to recognise the causes and implement
fixes.

Please accept our apologies for the frustrating lag you've experienced
recently.

Penned by My hand on the 6th of Avechary, in the year 453 CE.
