How bad is the lag on Alexina?

  Sounds like me in Mari when my modem plays up. I live in Australia so lag is generally something i have to put up with, but it's only occasionally as bad as what i'm hearing. I wonder what Nexon will do about it...

  It was actually quite tame compared to some other runs I had.

  In comparison to Ruairi..
  
  Well, let's see. I played on Alexina for three days before I couldn't tolerate it any longer.
  
  I then joined Ruairi.
  
  Alexina: From the very beginning I lagged. Whether it was inside of a dungeon or outside of a dungeon, I would lag. I could deal with it, because it was mainly rubberbanding, and since I'm a melee character, it doesn't smack me around as much as it would an archer. What killed my interest in Alexina? On several occasions, I literally sat around waiting for monster spawns for five to ten minutes, if not MORE. On the occasion that I only had to wait 20 to 30 seconds for spawns, when the enemies DID spawn, their AI was completely unresponsive. Now, it was amusing for the first five minutes, but I happen to enjoy Mabinogi due to the fact that it doesn't always show much mercy. Walking through dungeons and just watching my character kill things isn't very entertaining when there's no strategy or effort behind it.
  
  Ruairi: I've had some spawn lag. Once or twice, and both times were when I was playing on channel 1 because I had a shop up. The most severe lag that I've experienced on Ruairi does not even come close to the most minor lag I experienced on Alexina. That server is a nightmare. Have currently been playing Ruairi for a little over a week. I'm quite satisfied with the server.

  Sometimes when loading skills, everything stops moving (though the game itself isnt frozen,its like for some odd reason they just stand still) and then all of a sudden everything goes back to normal. I had to sketch the Heart of Courcle and right before the boss, the game froze and I had to reboot my PC QQ
  
  Edit: I just saw krpr's video and the lag I have was the exact same, including the part when youre walking and it, for some reason, takes you back to wherever you were a few seconds ago.

  That vid was actually GOOD lag version. normally its much worse. I did a shadow wiz HM and every other crash shot was absorbed by the lag.

  And the ones that don't get absorbed by the lag end up costing 80 MP to load ;-;

  My personal experience:
  I ping at less than 30, and live close to the server, and have constantly rubberbanded, randomly D/C'd, frozen in game for seconds at a time, and have an r1 elf magnum that sometimes takes 5 seconds to load.

  
  
  Wow, I have 210-300ms on Ruairi and I don't lag as bad as this (and I live in Australia, so pretty far from the server). You Alexinians really do have it bad O_O

  that was recorded when the server wasn't that busy and on one week day. I doubt i would have enough recording time if it was on a bad day
  
  Oh yea and if im not mistaken it was ch5. not 100% sure, can't remember

  Ch5 and housing channel on Alexina are the least laggy atm.
  
  I was doing field bosses a bit ago on a lagging channel..I kind of found it funny when at one point every single person at the gator lag freezed at the same time, the same time being right when it was about to windmill and when it unfroze we all were dead.

  Yep, unfortunately monster skill timers dont freeze. so on your case if alligator starts loading his tail attack before connection freezes up, when everything defreeze he'll use it instantly. Same for us but asides range attacks like crash shot it doesn't affect our attack that much
  
  Who have crash shot might've already experienced the aim % go to 99% during one freeze OR if you shot it if you freeze before the blast, that same blast wont happen
  
  Same with FH, time will run out everytime you freeze
