This kinda worries me too, I'm not happy about having to use a 'free' 3rd party VPN tunnel to play your game.

Lag has been getting worse everyday now, it's gotten to the point where I can't choose when to play, but have to play for the 30min or so the connection is stable enough, whenever that might be.

You can't pvp under those circumstances, hell not even pve is safe.  I decided not to resub, and most likely will just go back to EVE Online.

Perpetuum has a lot of potential, and I will most certainly check it out again when these kinda issues been taken care off.

OK, I'm from New Zealand and run on 365-450m/s lag inside the game at good times, lag spikes will take that up to 4k m/s.

It's not unplayable at 365m/s, but I still don't want to engage in PVP because of the 1-2 hour long lag spikes that just seem to happen randomly, coupled with 2-3 second 'freezes' at the most inconvenient times.

I installed and tested AnchorFree VPN, it does not work for New Zealand, my connection is twice as slow through the VPN than the normal route.

I like to stay subbed, but if the lag gets any worse and there's no workable solution (VPN is a workaround, for some), I guess the aussies and kiwis will just go back to EVE.

Please come up with a solution to this problem, in the long run it will severely damage the game and your company's reputation.

I dont wanna compare to EVE, but if 4 EVE clients runs with zero lag and 1 Perpetuum is totally unplayable due to lag, then the fault does not lie with my PC or internet connection.

I get lag spikes at odd times of the day\night, I tested a few times by logging in between timezone prime times.  Sometimes I can play, but lately it's so bad I can't travel, nevermind fight.

There's a lot to be fixed in this game, as long as the devs are aware and on top of it, I'm happy to wait a few months before resubbing.
