runevirage Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Whenever I use the GE database, there's either extremely slow performance or 404's. I've tried this on 3 separate computers now, each with completely different internet connections. It's borderline unusable at the moment. Clearly there has been an upswing in trade lately, so I think Jagex should either upgrade or get more servers in order to accommodate the increased demand. Edit: referring to the GE Database on the main Runescape website, not the one in-game. Thanks to those that clarified before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 GE loads fine for me. No more servers needed *sorry it took 27 mins* ...but yeah quite often I try to access it and it takes ages. Someone will ask me how much something is and by the time ive answered it by looking on the GE they already looked it up on the RSwiki.

Roz Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yeah, they REALLY need to U/G all their servers, their whole site lags for me with an 8MB connection. I think that they're losing a lot of customers and can't really afford to U/G, which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LitterBug Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 ^I highly doubt that they're "losing" any customers at all. Just look at activities in the past couple of days - activity has been shooting up and if anything they're gaining a whole ton of customers.

Thus Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The reasons why it is laggy:Mass influx of playersNew ge system means calculating price changes is differentNew items and items that were once constant are now seeing changes, meaning more item updates I agree that Jagex should at least update the most popular items first, then hit the lesser ones.

Riptide Mage Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The reasons why it is laggy:Mass influx of playersNew ge system means calculating price changes is differentNew items and items that were once constant are now seeing changes, meaning more item updates I agree that Jagex should at least update the most popular items first, then hit the lesser ones. The GE only updates every so often, the only thing that would change due to more GE transactions is the time required to calculate new prices and quantity traded. After that the data is cached until the next GE update, so there is no need to keep updating things. Somewhere jagex has a major load balancing issue or something on the server is failing to work properly. You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo Jagex, are you happy you brought back Free trade now? ;) what does this have to do with free trade? Some people say they have only seen this lag ever since free trade. So there thinking would be free trade = more players = too many for their servers to handle = lag. Personally i haven't experienced any lag at all.

alex_lee8 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think a few of the people on this thread think OP is talking about the actual GE when he's actually talking about the Grand Exchange section of the website with the graphs.

I thought it was just her usual "Free trade ruined everything" rant... I have trouble with GE database as well, although it's completely random. Same thing happens to YouTube where I don't get any icons just a list of links to the side of the page. And holy crap! NJE is back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
