This is on Castle of Steel, not sure what others are like. Increased lag/stutter issues being mentioned by more people in chat today.
I’ve submitted tickets for the following issues, but just wanted to discuss how the declining server performance is causing in-game material losses.
I listed a nice fishing pole I made for 12,000, and waited eagerly for the popup if it sold - and it did! But wait, why did it say I received 9,000 coins? I checked my completed orders, and it says 12,000. So a server hiccup moved the decimal place for my fee and took 25% instead of 2.5%.
I was trading with my fiancee, and she gave me 91 barbvine along with other things, to try to make a fishing pole to her liking. I clearly saw it was 91 in the trade window. Then when I got down to using the barbvine for crafting a pole, I only had 1. I had not used any at all, I was using ironwood or wildwood before. There was no dropped bag (sometimes it will drop an item you’re shift+clicking into trade window, but that is obvious when it happens). Neither of us had it in any inventory or storage.
Things seem rickety today, be wary!
