Sydney Australia, been away for 3 weeks, but on my return (24/1/2011) its been unplayable.
Lag has been 700+ with constant N/A.

Please note the following:
1st week of Perpetuum, Lag = 250-350 ms
Currently ALL other games i have installed with active accounts (EQ2, WoW, & Aion) have lag of 300-ish

AS an Australian, we are use to LAG, as 99% of the internet is in the US, and 1% in EU, and 0% in Australia tongue

But when I can access other games, streaming video, and other latency intolerant applications just fine, yet Perpetuum is completely unuseable... its clearly not an issue with Australia (or the US) and the core networks around the world....

Its something allot closer to where these Servers are Hosted......


I really enjoy this game, been a fane of Mechwarrior and the having that genre turned into a MMO is just awesome....  but this LAG will be the reason I dont renew my 3 accounts.. my mate doesnt renew his 2 accounts, and most of the AU/NZ & US crew leave...

It has nothing to do with PvP carebare grand alliance domination.. its has EVERYTHING to do with unplayable network latency.


Anyway... I really hope this gets addressed soon; I think I have 6 weeks left on my sub.... and the EP is ticking over which is good.... but if I cant get the quality that was experience in the 1st week... i've no choice but to leave....  which is very sad....

I appreciate you guys are from Hungary, and its so very refreshing to see talent come from outside of the US/EU for a change...

but seriously....  you wont increase of keep your subsriptions numbers with in this unplayable state...

And dont worry about money..... I personally, (i am sure most if not all others) will gladly pay $15 a month to get playable latency (for Aussie thats sub 300ms, for the US that should be sub 80 ms).

Anyway... just some feed back smile
