Could they have picked a worse world for Dung??

[Butt_Snakes]

Seriously, it seizes up and lags every few seconds. I'm not the only one I know, since in any party I get into everyone usually stops for a second and says, "Lagg." Does it not lag for ANYONE?! Trying to Dungeoneer on W77 is a no go, as nobody does it on that world (and if they do, they're really high level).

[Bladewing]

any world with 2k players in it has this issue

 

so, regardless of which world they picked, it would have this problem because jagex's servers are not able to handle this much data.

It was happening at 2 in the morning with around 1.2k players on the world. :/

[Racheya]

Yeah but the fact most are dungeoneering is the main problem. It doesn't matter what world was chosen.

[Burzuk]

Perhaps opening more than 1 official world would solve it. Especially because it also seems to be the assist world.

[Bladewing]

there was also a recent change of the W117 server to 64bit, which i noticed was accompanied by more lag

 

perhaps once they work out the kinks in their new server engine the lag will go away

[Leximunium]

It has nothing to due to the world itself, but with the amount of players, along with the sizable amount of medium/large floors created simultaniously. The could have chosen world 69 for god's sake, and the lag would still be the same.

[PereGrin]

Yeah, super huge amounts of instanced content. So not like falador where everyone walks around in the same area, but more like everyone having their own individual falador. multiply this by however many teams you have dungeoneering at the same time, and you could be doubling the world size in floor space if you count all the dungeons.

[jettrider]

The true culprits are the people who flocked to 117 in the early week of the skill because the higher levels (in Dannni's cc) congregated there. W117 grew to a dungeoneering world, Jagex didn't choose it, and the only reason people are there is because a couple of high level friends used to use it.

[Youmu]

Thank goodness you aren't f2p when w1 was the unofficial dungeoneering world...

 

Boy, was that the lag fest. Not only do you got so many people dungeoneering, you got Lumby chatters and GE spammers too. And the Fist of Guthix crowds.

[NastyJenny]

Actually 117 lags a little less now than it used too, and i m happy that i have a ping of 24 there.

 

I may be wrong but would it not lag less if they closed all but Daemonheim in Dung Worlds ?

24 ping? damn lucky you, my ping is 139... :angry:

[ghjkl]

117 is still alive? Yea shame they picked some random swedish worlds, but I get no lag in 138 so I don't care.

yup it's very much alive, not everyone is 93+ dg and/or is maxed combat :rolleyes:

[Bassy]

They should've made 116 or 118 Dungeoneering-themed too. That way, it would level out some of the mass hoards of people looking to enter a dungeon and then leave 15 minutes in because someone rage-quit.

 

So glad I got 85 and quit Dungeoneering. I don't think I'll ever deal with that again unless they make a chaotic that is really worth having other than my Rapier. :shades:

But then with multiple worlds, you would have less chance of finding someone with the same floor as you. That means, you might level out some of the people that are actually decent at dunge.

 

Like someone said, they should make the dungeoneering worlds Daemonheim-only to reduce some lag.

24 ping? Wth? I get 83 on the lowest ping world if i'm lucky....

[Cheefoo]

I believe it depends on how many other people are dungeoneering, and how many "dungeons" are loaded. The more there are, the longer it takes to load rooms. So naturally, if a world is the "official dungeoneering world" it's going to lag a lot while actually dungeoneering.

[Zaaps1]

While it's true that a large part of the lag can be attributed to the simple fact that so many people are Dungeoneering in that world, it doesn't change the fact that it's a crappy, Swedish server (no offense to the Swedes).

 

But again as mentioned above, it can't be helped. Jagex didn't choose the world, just like they didn't designate w1 or w2 for trade worlds.
