BREAKING: Market Bridge Shut Down by Lag Protest

I can't. It's too sad. Turns out gamers are not universally good protesters?

*Like I said: the marketplace on Shadowdale is magically instanced. Make of that what you will. I am in #1.
I remember instanced public spaces from maybe 10 years ago or more. You're right, it's magical, like a time warp of some kind.

Oh the irony of causing more lag by protesting lag.
Ironically if you watched any of the streams or videos or read comments/posts from last night. The marketplace had almost NO lag. Yes, the framerates dropped, but it also helps the lag issue because people arent zerging quests and monsters aren't pathing.

Why do I feel like I am reading alt dev accounts?
*and trolls in Shadowdale

PS: if someone else can take a SS, we may be surpassing Thrane :D

As of press time, the bridge remains jammed, protest growing, the servers remain choppy, and the Chronicle remains full of it.
Oh Xendrick is a very funny place sir,
It's a strange and a troubled land,
And sure Thrane is a very funny server,
Every woman and every man,
And every toon underneath the moon,
Says "I can't stand this standing still",
And it wouldn't be surprising for there to be another rising,
Says the man from the Chronicle

Best thing to point out regarding this event is the fact that there were this many people on the bridge, frames were at an all time low, yet we could still move and didn’t lag-lock.

Yet, you step into Hall of the Mark to get a free feat change and lag wipe.
I was still getting 60-70FPS and, ironically, nowhere near as much lag as when in quests.

Protesting at the weekend when SSG clearly don't work, which is why they stopped the tranfers for the weekend, is like a Vegan protesting at the Butchers shop, it's fkin pointless.
It's less pointless than your post. Just sayin'.

But does it? Or does it force mechanics that should work! Why does Shadowdale MP now have 2 instances?
lag last night was worst since i transferred... best part of that protest ran down the crack of someones leg and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress.

Good Try though- Next up.. DDO Players Pee into the wind. :)

Nah, peeing into the wind is what you did last night.
