If you guys have huuuge ping one day and low ping the next day then that does not sound like an "unfixable issue" tho, and that's a good thing. The unfixable issues are usually that u live too far away and that the ping just isn't as low as you would want it - always. But if it goes down to low ping sometimes, and high at other times, then it sounds like it's either "your" connection OR something messed up over at xs4all that causes it, because if it can be low once, then it can be low all the times, that is if your connection and xs4all has an good connection between each other. If that is your issue then I think you should try to mail xs4all about, and see what they can do about it.

This server has been hosting XUO for years, and almost nobody has been lagging. It's weird how half the shard seem to be lagging now, did we really get that much more americans than we had before? perhaps we did. Either way like some other people in here said - a new server costs LOADS of cash, and it'll take loads of donations to get one. If we can fix this one to work good (since we get it for free), then that would be a lot better. I dunno if it's even possible tho, but if u had low pings at one point, then I think it could be, so contact xs4all and we'll see what happens. If it stays too laggy for too many players then yes - we will have to fix it somehow - but for now lets try to let xs4all deal with it first, since they host this for us for free, plus they are a real good game hosting server normally.

P.S: We care a lot about that our players should not lag. Lag ruins the game play and I am very much aware of that myself, I've been in your shoes before. It's just a matter of what way that is the best to deal with it right now, and I believe that the first step should be to mail xs4all and see what they can do, because a new server will cost loads of cash and right now we cannot afford that, since we do all of this for free for you guys.
