Server Speed Feedback Needed

Well, it does seem to lag once in a while on the post reply/edit confirmation, but it is much better then it was. it seems about the same speed wether theres 300 or 1300 people on, and the search is up and running, and quickly too. Overall, quite pleased

Having major trouble with logging in and posting. Keep getting the "refresh" page.

Any info on what is causing it? About 1500 users online at the time.

Um yeah, found the problem. It's fixed. Sorry 'bout that.

What was teh problem?

We have a lot of emails in que. Weird problem I know, it does answer why a lot are not receiving confirmation emails, notification that auctions have closed, etc.

Oh Lord...I'll bet that is a headache for you and your mod staff too not to mention the members. I didn't even think about the Auctions since I don't use them. That would be frustrating.

However, you all fix it PDQ!

Hitting new records on amount of users online, and judging by the amount of double-triple posts, I'm not the only one lagging a lot..

Getting this err:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11) in /home/guildwarsguru.com/public_html/admin/lib/db_mysql.php on line 40

Some more usefull information you might want to know:

Got tons of lag in the past hours.
Maybe because of the amount of people?

sql queries racking up, gonna have to catch this in action to see what it is

Wow, I actually am going to 'try' to post. Id post this in the bugs thread, but I aint taking any chances. For 2 days I have tried to post here to describe the myriad of problems I am getting from the site, basically it does not work. This page just took 10 minutes to load ???????. Will the post even work, I have my doubts but?
I dont know what it is, but something is heavily wrong, this is the only site I have ever been too with so many problems. When I posted about the site operating efficientley I deliberatley waited like a week to make sure things had actually improved and it wasnt just a lucky day, well now things are worse than they ever were before. Im not gonna list every problem I have had, suffice is to say its a long list. For a site with 40,000 members, I would think, in the middle of the afternoon, when 1000 people are on, the site should be at top speed, 2500 people on at once , I can expect a few slow page loads(10-30 secs for me is slow) etc..., but there have been times in the last couple days when there have only been 500-600 poeple on, and the site is at its slowest ever. As for th auction, whats that saying, oh yeah, Faggedaboutit .

Well, I can pretty much vouch that I haven't seen this site hit 500-600 except for after a server restart for about 2 weeks now. We are constantly on top of these problems and are aware of these situations almost immediately when they happen.

As for problems, yes they are many and we work at this day in and day out to manage, update and fix problems and bugs as they occur. We are also working on content, new features, articles and more in the meantime. It takes a community to run this site and we are not idely sitting back while these problems occur. I have many users who can vouch for the constant work we are doing at all hours of the day and night. Giving up play time, family time and more to try and keep this site not only running but providing the best content and community. Patience. If you think it's frustrating, try standing in our shoes as we work on these problems. Our priority is to this community and I spend more hours on this site then in game. Even with staff members begging me to join them in GvG.

At the time of this post there are:

1112 (339 members and 773 guests)

It's been rather busy lately, similar or more numbers typically.

Yes...I "tried" to report my problems last evening. I finally got in after about 15 minutes of getting to this point. Then I wrote my post and clicked "Post Reply". I came back an hour later and it still didn't finish. I then just closed out the browser and went to bed.

Seems to be ok this morning.

All right, interesting. I've noticed the last 3 days that around 12:30 - 1:30 PM PST the site suddenly kills. Some process running during this time that if it's not fixed will bring down the entire site. So, we are tracing it and trying to figure out what exaclty is happening. Just wanted to give an FYI.

I know Inde, thanks all the same bud, just a little vent....
I must note that atm there are 2200 people on, 1400 guests. Something I have noticed and tested, things seem to go fine UNTIL I log in, then all goes to hell, I cant close an auction, view items, nothing, site just locks up. Go out come back in, browing is fine. Log in, all goes to hell ???

Is this happening today Sents? We've been working constantly on the server for the last 2 days monitoring it. There have been occassional slowdowns but we are on top of it and nothing for more than a couple of minutes. Let me know if you are still having problems.

Only minor slow downs for me today...then again...I haven't been paying all that much attention being busy today.

Things arent too bad last couple a days Inde, just seemed to get real bad a few days back, since then it hasnt been that bad. I can log in, even post,check my auctions, etc, no probs.

The site has been slow and buggy for me all day; sometimes not working at all.
