In all cases on all server types, when playing the stock explore game type servers grow in lag as more and more people play. The more people do things, the more it lags and it needs to be wiped to fix.
Guess what?
I went to log into the latest game on NA1 ..it 98%vanilla... and ....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The same issues as with the previous map that went bottom up.
The game loaded to recalling buildings 100% and i got that thump and the humm from the PB..and then a short message "building oceans" .......
and then the wheel of misfortune ground almost to a halt .... two segments ..freeze then 3 segments ...freeze..... one segment...freeze rinse and repeat .. then "time out"
After the third attempt at starting form the very beginning, i tossed my hands in the air and gave up.
No logs or screenshots ..... as i couldn't get in far enough to grab any
And only 1 day in the game ... (sigh)
off to paint my nails ... and look for lint in my navel....
i say no more?
