Anyone experiencing really really slow speeds ???

incredibly slow for me as well

yes i am really really slow speeds, takes ages to just to bring up something

Very badly, it took minutes for this page to come up.

Watch out for my snail attacks today! lol

WOW, seems fixed now, as fast as I always wish it to be. :)

Yes it's good again :)

I sent the provider an email. They first responded this morning that it was fixed. I replied it wasn't, and now speed is back so now it does seem fixed.

amen, good job luke!

Nice one...cheers....

What's the story with the server lag that happens every hour?

I was wondering the same. Every hour, pretty much on the hour without fail, the server lags for about 2 minutes and my browser just hangs loading the page.

i had sometimes almost 4 minutes..

Just think of what you could have done with that 4 minutes, you could have washed up, made a cup of tea, or even just sat and chatted to me on msn HRH lol.

i was not talking about the server lag....hehehe

A big cron runs every hour to update the game. Has always been ;). Also in the old version of the game.

Yep. But it's new that this cron slows the server down that much. I think the first complaints about it were reported two weeks ago.

What when two huge wars broke out at once? More moving armies longer cron.

what the provider means is their respond speed to your email is fixed...;bgrin

When does it go slow, coz I don't think mine does, maybe I'm never on here when it happens :p

It does it every hour on the hour for 3 minutes, it has been doing it alot longer than 2 weeks though Thomas, I can remember it being this bad for at least a couple of months.

I will have to be here at 11 then to see what all this fuss is about :D

4 minutes of execution in a script with maximum provileges???????
I think there is any kind of problem in this script or with the server optimization, and I can put mi hand in the fire saying it is a problem of the database actualization, perhaps a little cache, running all actualization directly on disk, this will spent a loooooong time and this can be the problem.

Yea its been a problem for a couple months, it's never been this bad before.
