Every zone I was in was laggy. Some of them I was the only one in them. It seemed as if it was computer lag on the server end.

It's network - not CPU. Hunter has screenshots of the cpu with 400+ it sits at 0-1%, database is coming off of a ssd so the io is fine, on the other hand the network is a known pinch point with the upstream bandwidth in the end without more bandwidth the effective cap has been reached/exceeded.
The server itself is bigger/more powerful than any other server currently out there for emu by a long shot, the only thing it lacks is bandwidth.

So... what's the solution? |

A better internet plan, one with more up-speed obviously.

Thinking about it that makes perfect sense. |

The issue is this seems to be on a residential plan, you wont find residential plans with much for than that for upload speeds.
You can get 100mb upstream on a real server, but, would have to lease the hardware.

You can get 50/10 cable plans here for $190/mo (Comcast business class).

Can get a managed 100mb uplink server for half that. Mind you the hardware would be leased, but, thats not the issue currently. |

If you shop around and are willing to commit to a contract you can find some good pricing.
I've got USA choice 20m up 20m down fiber connection, no leased equipment, $100 a month.

I don't know of any provider that sells an unmetered 100mbit port for 100/month. There are some providers that will sell 100mbit ports for that much, but you then pay per TB per month. There is also power to consider. Most colo places charge $150/15 amps per month. |

$149/mo unlimted bandwidth, 100mbits http://www.gameservers.com/dedicated/I don't know if they allow you to just run anything you want on there (ie they may have a problem with emu) and it's probably a moot point anyway if Hunter/etc want direct physical control over the server (it doubles as a space heater ami rite???) |

Anyway last night was the worst I've ever seen it. Previously it was only slow NPC and zoning in nexus but last night it was bad lag in every zone. There was about 490 on when I logged in and I heard it hit well over 500.
Something needs to be done. I don't know how much bandwidth AFK people take up but if it's possible I'd say the server should boot anyone who's AFK in nexus or sfg for more than 15 mins or so.

I would hate this. I've had a couple times, taking a group through Ldon where we wiped on 5. Took my monk 15 min to get back to 5 solo and rez the group just before corpse timers went out. If they had been booted and had to relog I would have lost all progress as there wasn't time. 60min I understand, 30min maybe. But 15min is way to short in some circumstances. Either way it is a half-baked solution that would not solve the problem long term. Fact is, Hunter has put together a great server. It is bound to grow. It's alot of fun to play on. So everybody pitch in a few $ and help the server keep growing. |
