Hi all! Okay, so I believe (and never before have I so hoped I'm right!) that I've had a breakthrough with the server config. For the first time, our database servers seems to actually be using a significant part of it's muscle.
So tell me in comments here: is the site fast for you? Or does it still leave something to be desired (and even if so, is it better than before?)

Am I going crazy? It just jumped to 845 people in a few seconds!
Only 212 people on this morning and it's still painfully slow <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
To be completely honest, I don't really notice a difference. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

Even with 1300 people on it is faster for me, I thought the slowness was due to me being Australia but the new site is faster yay well done team.
It's still slow for me in shops and quests, but seems to be a little better now. I keep getting SQL errors though, when pasting an item in the Search box and hitting enter. It seems if I skip hitting enter and use my mouse to hit the search button, I don't get the SQL errors.
It is a lot faster than it was before, but it does have its moments where it reverts back to it's granny state. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
In the forums, it goes fast.
In the user shops and quests, it takes about 10 seconds for each page to load.

Well there has been vast improvement. But, as others have said, its inconsistent. I believe, however, that even when in a lagging phase, its still better than it was.
Slow then fast... then slow again. It's like I'm being switched between servers and the transition takes forever. :| Possibly since the server online count keeps switching from a high and low number.
I think it's a little slower than before. But you can probably attribute that to the reading contest being a confounding factor >.<
It's roughly 10:36pm sub time, there are roughly 1525 users on, I'm using the latest version of FF and I have HS internet. Most pages are loading decently, but some are actually quite fast compared to the previous lag we had. No problems signing on either. thumbs up Great job Alex!
After the last time Subeta came back up, it was super-fast for me at first, for about half an hour I was zooming through quests. There were about 300 users online. Then it started lagging badly and randomly logging me out. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />
It's still quite slow for me, though maybe not as slow as before. It was faster for a little while, then went back to being slow.
This morning (eastern time) everything is great. Only about 200-300 people online and I could easily do quest and navigate the site. I don't always get to spend alot of time on in the morning though. This afternoon I couldn't get into subeta for about an hour and when I finally could the lag was terrible. Graphics weren't loading and the explore map wasn't loading. That lasted about 1/2 hour I think and then eased up. Right now everything seems much faster again. I don't know if it's completely related to how many people are online at one time but for me sometimes the lag does seem worse the more people are on the site. Especially when it went over 700-800. Hovering over items is still slow no matter what. --- Thanks again for all the hard work! thumbsup

The lag is crazy. I pay to use the auto-pricer and cannot use it because it freezes up computer. Lag on some other pages too but nothing like the auto-pricer.
Laggy on certain pages for me. Shop and everything is okay, but it's usually on the news page that I get issues. High-traffic areas, I guess, like the boards and stuff, where people aren't just clicking once or twice, but actually posting messages and things.
Quick stock is back to taking almost a minute to load again - not sure what's up with that but I do have a question. Why is Subeta on Central time?
It took me awhile to log in once logged in in went an average speed for about 3 hours. I left for about half an hour then and ever since then I have had nothing but bad lag.
It's still lagging for me. In fact, some of my pages freeze me and I have to leave the site and come back. It's getting annoying.

This day it seems rather laggy for me as well as my last post. It seemed a lot faster before =/ only it crashed more. XD

For me at times it is fast but than other times it can take up to 5 min to load
The site is moving markedly faster for me at the moment. It is about 8:23 pm and there are quite a few people online. The shops are faster and going page to page and shop searching is going well. It is a bit better than it used to be on a good day and a TON better than the laggy days.
On a side note I would like to say that I love how everyone here is kept in the loop. The staff here lets us know what is going on and does their best to answer questions. Alex, you are a genius with all this stuff. Just reading the technical stuff you post makes my head swim, but you handle it with ease. Thanks for all your hard work!

It was super fast last night after the update you did, but when I got back on earlier today, I couldn't get on for about a half-hour, and since then it's been lagging a bit for me. I'd say kick the speed up some more <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Something is seriously messed up with the timing. The user shops are running a bit slower than normal, but the wizard loads fast enough. However, I just finished a wizard quest that called for 2 items that I purchased with a wham bam, and took it back to the wizard who said that I failed to bring his items back on time. WHAT? It couldn't have taken even a minute to get back to him. Now I've got 2 items I don't want. Not cool, Mr Wizard.
it loads VERY very slow for me. I used practically spend all of my free time on Subeta. Now I don't even care to login anymore <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_angryface.gif" border="0" /> I miss playing, but the super lag makes doing quests painful.

LAGGING >_<
superlaggy for me. a bit better than yesterday, but not as fast as before the switch. :C
Its going the normal speed for me since we moved. So I'm pretty happy with the new server c:
For me, it's still lagging.
Better than yesterday but it's not as fast as before the switch.
I'm just glad the site isn't down like every other hour. :]

its slow.
i wish we hadn't switched the servers, honestly, this is the lagg-est subeta Ive ever experienced <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />

Way worse on new servers for me. I get peaks of where its fast but for the most part its so laggy I cant even get on to do anything without getting annoyed.
Right now, it's slower than ever. So horrendously slow that I don't even want to come on the site. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />
I see that it was super fast earlier, so hopefully this will all get sorted out. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

VERY slow right now. Was much faster this morning.

I have been here for about 20 minutes and it still seems the pages are loading faster than they have in the past week or so but the images are loading very slowly.....Keep up the good work!! and Thanks!!
I've had connection resets all day. When the site's there, it's fast. But mostly, I get "connection interrupted while loading". (And one squirrel.) Good luck!
It seems really slow to me right now...but still a little better than before. Maybe it's just because so many people are on for the event?
images are loading very slowly now. i'm frequently getting a "the connection has been interrupted" page, or a white page,
Before it was vaguely tolerable, but now it is lagging to a point where I refresh a page and it takes about half a minute onwards to load, and as much as I like to mooch around here, this speed is really, really difficult to work with :3
Thanks for trying, but it looks like no cigar here! (Am doing fine on other sites so it's not my personal net connection)
