Nearly unplayable, again
Since the last time the lag in the game was ameliorated, it is now getting to the point the game is nearly unplayable. For example, one can expect a lag time of five to ten seconds or more until the game responds to the command given. Most of my coalition has simply stopped being active as a result. No one wants to lose troops by sending raids and sieges that are not rapidly executed or responds to their commands. Please, do tell me that I have to do this thing or that thing and the lag will disappear. It will not. This lag is throughout the game, not just an isolated player here or there, so to blame ones operating system, internet connection, or other mysterious happenstances, is not an answer. I have logged onto the game for 1228 consecutive days, so I have experienced most all of the changes that have occurred during that time, and this lag is not limited to fighting. Things like divine quests, selecting troops to build, and really anything that requires a cursor being placed on a button and a mouse click is simply not functioning with any accuracy with regard to a response.
From past posts in the Forum, I expect the standard party line response from Plarium, and that is that somehow, I and all the others in my coalition are to blame somehow, when in fact, it is the game itself that is responsible. Too many players from all over the world are experiencing this lag for it to be blamed on any individual player and the usual deflections made by Plarium that always imply that it must be our fault somehow. No, I will be very careful in my gameplay and only participate in a bare minimum fashion until this is fixed. While it would be a great change to remark on something positive happening in the game, unfortunately until you fix the lag, and the many other problems with the game interface, I sincerely doubt you will see many positive posts. For the most part, playing the game is becoming more like work than recreation, and most people are not playing the game for extra work.
