Post New Servers
How are the new servers for everyone in terms of reduced lag and reduced latency? (Please ignore things like the new stars -- that's not what I'm asking about.)

If the consensus is that they are definitely better, then I will go and cancel the liquid web server and save some money.

The new servers seem to have no lag from my experiences so far: definitely a major improvement over the old ones. I think it would also be nice to see how long the servers will remain stable until it needs to be reset, though that should not put you off in the slightest in canceling the liquid account.

Much faster...although the switchover has messed up my subscription and now I cant play. I think its something to do with paypal and the database being moved over while a transaction was being cleared.

Other than that, the new server works great. No lag and warps are instant. Two thumbs up from me. :)

Its bolth good and bad jeff. Its good because liquid was generally slow and had huge lag spikes. The bad part is now this server has alot of tiny 1-5 second lag spikes, causing MD's and the like to miss, and people to die and lose gear glue to firing visibility.

Some of those lags are on your personal comp... try it on a new comp with ultra fast graphics subsystem. (Try your local comp store and DL SS and play while the sales person watches... hehe)

Yea, I've never NOT gotten that with new server. As well as, lag being ships aren't where they are displayed, like they will really be another 100-200 dist away... VERY inconvenient when EVERY shot counts.

not really

my laser makes this happen all the time since it grems AI

I could be shooting a pic but after a few shots the picture of the pick will fly off in one direction, and the pcick itself will fly in the way it was when i gremmed it

so im shooting at nothing until I see a random explosion and coins drop :P

Well I call that inconvenient when an AI is shooting at you but... you have no clue where the AI is, & you move & start shooting at the image, but you are now wasting your elec because the AI actually ISN'T there.
