「Ask for your cooperation and survey about the server load」

[Sp-24]

Heaviest lag spikes during EQs that we have grown used to over the years are actually being looked into, and Sega is planning to implement some measures to deal with them (Player's Site link, gaijin not welcome).

First step: add more lag. That is, they are going to reconfigure the game servers to monitor the causes of the heavy load that makes it lag so much. The side effect of those special configurations is that the game may appear more laggy. Sega specifically stresses that those measures can't damage your play data, but they make no mention of the safety of your hard drive. They also plan to run a survey of some sort and to compensate you for participating in it, so get ready for those Triboost+50% and Half Doll.

Thoughts? Will the solution be an IP ban?

You're not even trying to be subtle anymore.

The solution is ALWAYS IP Ban. I'm already drying my tears tbh.

Also top thread.

If they were to ban the entire jp aws datacenter... well I'd certainly be impressed.

It generally feels like they're trying to run the game on a Packard Bell 33mhz, not just during EQ's, althought EQ's is when it's so bad I feel like pounding my genitals with a ball-peen hammer.

As a business it make more sense for them to ban everyone who's never spent AC then ban everyone that connects outside of japan.

Just saiyin.

Heh. They'll add a window like on those download sites, that says "Please wait 20 seconds to be accepted in the quest" or something like that.

Wat? SEGA banning potential, future foreign consumers? Inconceivable!

Banning is a bit of a stretch. Usually banning is reserved for removing problematic players from a game. They'll let people steal your IGN before they outright ban your account for inactivity/not paying for premium. It's more plausible and less of a stretch to see them artificially inflate login ques or make less room available to free to play folks..

Better buy that premium so you can login and play.

Then again I'm only playing WoT nowadays so what do I know.

[Laxedrane]

I was only trying to be as over the top as someone instantly going to IP bans for foreigners that play the game to relieve server stress.XD

[Vampy]

pretty sure having foreign players does not add that much more server stress than if you lived in japan I personally think they did not anticipate pso2 getting so big so fast and have the servers handle that kind of load.

IP ban would still not do a thing on the lag issues.
