Mega Lag

Tue Aug 03, 2004 9:27 pm

I'm experiencing some major lag on Neopets. I know it's not my connection, cos PPT and other sites are as fast as normal.

I just missed out on some very rare and expensive items because of it and am not best pleased :(

lol I saw yours appear at the same time as mine. gmta eh? lol

Tue Aug 03, 2004 9:29 pm

Yup, extreme lag at the moment. I wonder why...

Tue Aug 03, 2004 9:29 pm

yeah very strange that the lag comes suddenly and is now gone.

Tue Aug 03, 2004 9:31 pm

Yeah. Lagging for the last 30 mins or so, now it's speeding up lol

Yeah, but it's not been this bad all day lol

It really is bad - just frustrating and I think the 1/2 price day part enters into it a bit - but not enough to drag it down this much!

i don't think the earlier 30 min lag spike was due entirely to half-price day.
i don't think the server was suddenly overloaded for just 30 min. i have heard that autobuyers eat up lotsa bandwidth but i can't verify if it's true.

I was also experience MAJOR lag.. good thing I didn't miss out on too much. :)

I've been getting lag like that for at least the last couple of weeks, at least once a day for between 30 minutes and an hour, then it will slowly come back to "normal".

Half price day I tend to just go on the site to feed my pets, get my interest, maybe play a few games, lab and then I leave. It is, for me anyway (dial up maybe?) always slower on the 3rd of the month.

If half price day falls on a weekend? I don't bother logging in at all, it's that slow.

Why is it, when I need to do something quickly, it always lags? lol
Like now :(

-shrugs- I got up early to get some easy 1/2 price stuff. I'm 8hours+of NST so I get up at 7am for some easy stocking on 1/2 price day while US sleeps.
