Conjecturing with Sirken over it is the best source I have. He's seen 300 in a zone operate fine while other people with weaker comps/internet have dropped like flies. That's why I would want to see a large scale fight without zoning before ruling that out.

This wasn't a small selection of people desyncing, our entire raid desynced upon zoning in and running to the corner by the right moat. I can guarantee you that some of these nerds live on the east coast with good internet (sub 20 ping) and have monster computers to boot.

We weren't zone hopping, so the issue isn't going to be fixed by making the argument that we all need to be in the same zone and stay in the same zone. They prepared several hours in advance with a very large force with their casters and rezzers being g-fluxxed onto the super block (so taking the zone prior with our 20-30 people also wasn't feasible).

There isn't a way for the 2 groups to co-exist in that zone prior to the mob being about to spawn. And there's no way for me to build a computer that will drop my ping below the 115-130 ms that I'm always in in the Pacific Northwest. So this in essence is a server hardware issue, especially since I've been in several 70v70s in the past with absolutely no lag or desyncing whatsoever.

I've heard that people spoke with rogean and karnors and a few other zones had been placed on bad server clusters to make room for the velious beta zones being properly tested. I also never desynced in Fear during trains prior to the shitfest Sunday, and now I do with regularity...so something has happened recently to the red99 server files.
