Welp I've decided I'm going to waste my valuable free time on other sites. Sorry if I sound annoyed, I'm beyond annoyed considering the real money I've spent here recently.

FYI: It seems worse right before a fairy is given. Also, having the same issue with shops showing a cached page instead of the real page.

I am also lagging... everywhere. My wardrobe has under 20 items and I've waited over 5 minutes for it to just not load, I can't preview any posts and editing takes ages, quests and shops are slow, and it's been going on for a few days now. I'll get like five minutes of freedom and then two hours of lag.

Same as everyone. All pages, pretty much all the time. Comes and goes in waves, between little to no lag, semi slow, and could take a bath while loading slow. Usually it's a short period of no lag, followed by a longer period of lag, building up to pretty much no loading at all. Rinse and repeat. This has been going on for several days for me.

As a side note: this is why I usually always give my 2 cents as well, even if others have said the exact same thing. If Keith doesn't experience the same lag, I think it's important that lots of people can let you guys know that the users are experiencing something completely different. Not just complaining to complain, but hoping to give you as much info as possible to address the problem.

Also experiencing lag everywhere for the past week, on any given page, with the occasional 504 error. Pages aren't loading. It usually takes about 10-30 seconds of waiting and refreshing for it to resolve itself, although today its been especially bad, lagging out multiple times a minute. It's a little annoying it's been like this for a week and hasn't been publicly addressed besides Keith saying "no this isn't happening."

Let me clarify that "any given page" means there's not a page I haven't experienced it on yet. Restocking, in the forums, questing, gifting, etc.

The forums are really struggling for me again. It did get better since the newsletter thread for a while, but today/last night they are just near-non-functional. Finally got this one to load after a hard refresh. Still have 2 other tabs just playing the loading animation non-stop.

So lag is still terrible for me all over the site, in waves like everyone else. I was able to read two pages on this thread before the forums refused to load for over an hour. It didn't matter which thread, I tried 4 different threads that I follow and none of them would load. The lag wasn't too bad when I did the blue building quests, however I had to click twice to buy something from user shops on the shop search page. It's really annoying that this had gone on for a week (it took me 4 hours to do all my quests Monday) and nothing has been said, besides Keith saying he hasn't experienced any lag. Kinda disappointing that there's always an issue of some sort during Lumi every year.

Same as everyone. Sometimes pages load fine, next moment they load slow or not at all. It took me three minutes to even log in. And I must admit, I am with . Not only that I've spent a lot of real money during the past few months (and lets be honest, several issues of any kind have been lasting for months and still are), but also Luminaire is my most favourite event and it makes me really uneasy that I cannot enjoy it because of that damn lag.

TFW you can donate for ornaments 2 more times before this thread loads again.

TFW site status still says 'no issues reported' for weeks.

Lag is really terrible right now, this thread doesn't even load for me!

I came back to the site like a month ago, decided to activate 3 months of gold from a loyalty box and then ever since the server change L A G.

I do quests. Lag. I try to auto price. Lag. I try to collect from my shop profits. Lag.

I enjoyed the site again at first when I came back but I’m now back to not really doing anything here again because it’s too frustrating!

Auto price is probably the most frustrating one for me, it’s something I SHOULD have been able to do once a day but I don’t bother because it’s just far too slow.

This lag has been growing more and more unbearable for the last week. Usually the site lags around Lumi, but not even close to this bad. I simply don't have the time to wait around for pages to not load, so I really can't participate in Lumi stuff this year.

I mean, why would I commit to putting a gift under someone's tree (providing the thread would load) with no guarantee that their WL or tree (or the shop search/vault) will even load?

I don't usually complain, but quite frankly, this is awful. I've spent almost a thousand dollars on Subeta this year... please don't bring me down, Bruce. I'm pretty much just logging in now to collect Melody/Bathhouse and update my art thread.

A few pages were loading well, then I got a notable spike of lag when I received a faerie. I don't know if it was the cause or just bad timing but figured I'd note it here.

Bad for me too, mainly forums (sometimes they don't load at all) and wardrobe. Quests a little slow but workable. I haven't been battling this week, so I can't comment on that.

For something that's "not happening," this sure is happening a lot, and it's getting really bloody old to have that "Well it's not happening on my end so there must not be a problem! :)" chestnut trotted out again and again.

Like and I've spent a substantial amount of my own money on this site (and those who know me, know that I don't make a lot, so I don't just spend frivolously,) and the fact that I'm unable to really fully enjoy Luminaire is annoying me, as well. If this keeps up, I'll just be taking my spending money somewhere else.

This is what I get now, besides the timeout 522 error, after waiting for the site to load:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

don't want to speak to soon but ..... either this is one of those anti-lag pockets or this fix is already visibly working. <3

Works for me too!

Edit: or not.

It seems a lot better for me too! Thanks!
