Well, I hung out there for a while earlier...my ping went down, my #commands were working fine & The doors swung just fine so it's something else. Lets kill the usual suspects

Region in the US?
UI?
Wireless?

Guildies (atleast 20 of them) are having the same problems. Seems to be fixed after a quick relog, but only for like 10minutes then the problem is back again.

This sounds extremely similar to a problem I am having with Sol A! It seems the longer I stay there the more likely I am to begin lagging terribly. Doors take 10+ seconds to open. I will pull a goblin and FD to split and they will beat on me while me client shows me as feigned for about 10 seconds before I get a fail message or they stop beating on me because it succeeded.

To answer your usual suspects questions:
Region: South Central US (TX)
UI: Default that came with Titanium. Followed all instructions on install, but I did not install the optional classic UI.
Wireless: No - My gaming computer is hooked up to my wireless router through an Ethernet cable.

Today I was able to function normally in permafrost.

The Ranger in the group, however, experienced crippling lag after being in-zone for about ~10 min or so. He is on Cox Communications (east coast) as an ISP. He has a physical, wired connection and uses the default Titanium UI. We did nothing out of the ordinary in our time in-zone; meditating, ordinary pulls of 1-2 goblins, chat, etc.

I left myself logged in running log checks overnight and the only errors that came back were 4 opcodes from the usage of WinEQ2. So, there isn't anything kickin in the background on test. I was sitting at about 84ms which is normal for me.

Wireless?
Location: Maryland
ISP: Comcast
Router: Linksys Wireless-G v5.0 (But I have the cable going from router into PC, don't connect via wireless, thats for the wii/gf's laptop)
UI: Velious

My ping remains constant even during lag spikes at around 60ms, so it's not lag.. its the packet transfer getting screwed. I can try and turn it on the non velious UI and adjust some other options in an attempt to fix it... WTB GM call of the hero to perma to test!

Haven't been to Permafrost yet, but I've experienced the exact same thing in Sol A. And I've been grouped with other people that experienced it as well.

Re-logging or zoning out / back in fixed it, so I wasn't inconvenienced enough to come post about it before.

I get this too, badly, in both Permafrost and Sol A.

First got it about a month ago in Sol A, mentioned it to some people I was grouped with and they said their friends get it in perma also. Was in Permafrost over the last few days and, sure enough, got it again and mentioned it in /ooc....Someone says they got it in Sol A also.

Purely anecdotal, but it would seem that anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 or more of the people in these zones get this problem at any given time. It seems to nail some of us, while others don't get it at all. It always seems to involve combat, interacting with doors or corpses and spell casting being incredibly delayed in action and (in the case of spells) recast, usually on the order of 10 to 20 or more seconds of delay, while sometimes (but not always) chat works perfectly fine.

All I know is, while I sometimes DC, this isn't the same thing. This seems to act like some kind of memory leak, although I cannot say that's what it is. It just seems to behave that way. The longer I'm in the zone, the more likely it is to crop up and the worse it gets. The first time it cropped up in Sol A for me, relogging like 5 times seemed to clear it. In perma, I found that just leaving the zone worked fine, but it almost always came back if I was in the zone for more than 5 mins.

Beyond that, all I can say is please fix this ASAP. Besides being two of my favorite old-world zones, both of these zones are like shopping malls for gear and quest items and not being able to utilize them reliably and safely is a serious kick in the knee for the classic game. Please don't hesitate to ask if I can personally help with testing or offer any additional info or anything at all that will help in sorting this out.

Thank You!

ISP: EPB (20/20 FIOS)

UI: "default_old" that installed with the Titanium Client patched with P1999 files as instructed here on the site.

Region in the US? Southeast (NC)
UI? Velious w/ new spell files for server
Wireless? No

Ping will sit at 50ish ms but the lag will be up to a minute for actions to take place. Over the course of a few hours my ping will creep up to 1000+ ms. Over a few more hours it will then go back down. It settled at about 650 ms.

If you successfully get out of permafrost, everfrost is perfectly fine.
