Updates for 11/13/2010

The browser is currently not showing all results again. The party that deals with the browser (daemonware) is aware of the issue and is currently working on it.

On our end, we are taking a close look at certain servers in locations that has a 100% working network, but showing ping variance.

Traceroutes that have been provided for each of the locations have been submitted into the networking teams at each of the locations to check on possible issues with their routing.

Overall, we have been pushing over 11,000 servers servicing a peak of 105,000 players!

While there are some problem servers, we are determined to get to the root cause of each and every issue that arises.

If you have noticed, some of the locations are now on a waitlist which will have the actual ETA on new servers. Our provisioning department is working as quickly as they can to add additional servers to each of the locations along with additional network gear.
