Somethings broke down in ATL it seems.
agree it breaks in the same place every time for me...
This is Bull. My opinion of the game dropped so much by simply not being able to play. Lag was unbareable. I can't even sign up for the beta forums for some reason. Not happy. Not happy at all.
And yes I break down during that test also. Is it something we can do? Is it something to do with NCSoft? Or is it just bad luck that the connections are being routed through unstable paths?

RIP Orc Choppa
There are other alternatives besides installing gamepath into your system registry.. proxies and vpns give you the same result without letting these jokers at gamepath have access to things they shouldnt be wanting access to.
Taken from my post on aion source.
"Guys its going to be crappy at the very least until Tuesday afternoon, backbone routers into the servers are broken in atlanta and boston. You can do trace routes to the servers to see where the bottlenecks are. As these issues are offsite, there is not much NC can do about it. I am sure after the holiday weekend when the employees of the backbones are back in office they will see check their voicemail and find the thousands of paniced desperate messages from NCsoft begging them to reset the downed hubs.
Now what you could do to possibly get around this is play through a local proxy or VPN located near the servers. Not totally sure it would work but think of it this way for the layman.
You have highway 2 lanes each direction... there is an accident on one of the north bound lanes blocking that lane completely, now all traffic is merging onto the other northbound lane causing a bottleneck, some of the people already in the northbound open lane just blow right past the accident not slowing down letting anyone else merge in and their speeds remain ok for the most part, but many of this in that open lane slow to allow other traffic to merge.
Now then this highway has exits and back roads to get to your destination if you only have a map to find your way.
Sometimes getting off the highway and taking the detours are much faster way to get where you are going."
yep good old level3 again arc ty for posting
Try making another character on another server , and try switching between Channels too , i joined one server and it was really bad , i then tryed another and it worked perfect.. and after all this is an OPEN beta Stress Test , so this is going to happen.
sorrow i dont know in usa but in canada its labour day so no work today in canada
so it might be delayed till the next day before they work on it
hell do you know wich city ncsoft put those american server
did they put it in boston!
good idea,but i believe boston still is working on the big dig
probably why we get issue
oh can only hope they fix all kinks before release
aion will have to delay stress test till next week-end if everything is found
i ll try ,would be a nice feature to do like some other game put the ping beside the server
how do u change the channel?

Tried 4 different servers, some better than others but none were playable. I'm not sure how bad some of you think this is but we're not kidding when we say unplayable. Waiting 20 seconds to simply talk to an NPC, praying that your spell even casted just to find out u died 2 minutes ago, walking over to an NPC just to find out u haven't moved an inch, never mind the disconnects. I understand this is an Open Beta but these are not normal issues. If it is the ISP's fault and not NCSoft's I apologize to them but it's still going to put a bad taste in my mouth. Not the best first impression of the game from the time I was able to play either.
I belive u goto your menu and its under support i think , trying to remember , also u only get channel select up until lv20 then its all open with everyone , so dont worry about channels too much.

I know this may sound silly , but this being a OPEN BETA test , would make it a massive Stress test , i can see your point u dont want this happening on Launch Day , no one does , but it is beta after all.
Hope they get this sorted out before launch.
Good thing all you beta testers are doing what you are suppose to. This isn't free trial period. Crash the game, that's what you are in there for.
To the best of my knowledge all US servers are currently in Seattle, Ill check on this in a bit but Im pretty sure of my answer. Anyone else knows different please be sure to post.
IT ISNT AION......IT ISNT AION, thought i would shout that twice, but there is a problem in with the internet before it even gets to AION servers, a big bottleneck around Baltimore...
Secondly even if there wasnt a FUBAR going on with some infrastruture in some US city, this is a beta test NOT a free game, and stress testing is occuring till near launch to load stress the servers....So this might me extended if they cant get the peeps onto the servers enough due to the fault.
But apart from that its sunny out, and its only a beta not a demo, so whatever.
Well it's a good thing they found this out before launch.
I hate to break this to you but this is what a Beta is for, root out all the problems.
This isn't free trial period for angry forum posters who are not going to be happy no matter what.
Beta...say it again....beta.....(then breath a little)
Crash the game you magnificent bastards!!!!
Again this is HARDLY an open beta or stress test. It's a near copy of the stuff overseas and it's been out for a year. They also know how many beta keys they released. Servers aren't at capacity and they're having problems. One server was, and it was even slower than the one that was NOT at capacity.
You saying beta over and over doesn't make it so.
This is what I'm getting in California-something is broken~
i bet aion server are wondering whats the holdup
right now its like going in central park new york to see a show of metallica lol
traffic up on traffic for miles there was 2 accident close to that area so its a never ending line
one problem here tho everybody send the ball to the other party
level 3 says its not them ,att says its not them ,wab says its not them ,nc says its not them ,aion dev says on tweeter its not them
LOL
NCSOFT is getting ridiculed by this situation lol
when wow started you couldnt be as vocal as today
i bet if i searched online i would see thousands of video of this situation
IM staying away from this game till most gamers say all clear
(by then cataclysm will probably out ,then it wont mather what aion decide
This is what I'm getting in California-something is broken~
yep same as me baltimore level 3 ,one problem i live at the other end of the country lol (quebec, north of ny 400miles)
