There will be a server update beginning on Tuesday 17.04.2012 20:00 (GMT+2).
How long the server will be off can't be said for sure. Be prepared for about 2-4h downtime. There will be a complete re-install of the OS and all associated tools. We will upgrade to Windows 7 64 Bit (from XP 32 bit) and will then be able to fully utilize our 8GB RAM. This will help the database performance a lot.

Server has been and is still lagging like crazy lately. LD every 45 minutes and takes 10 minutes just to relog. And I think it's not just me..

It's not just you. I'm posting now because I can't re-connect. I hope this fixes the issue. Some days Uthgard is unplayable between the frequent LD's and the inability to log back in.

Probably for US players, it's mostly decent here in Europe. Well, on some days there is a huge server lag from time to time, and sometimes I get random "LD", although my net is connected all the time, but it really happens rare. I hope this will improve performance for players from US too

There is a problem on eurorings for US players. This has nothing to do with the lags which are caused by Uthgard itself and it will not fix that. We can't influence the route it takes to Uthgard.
Try a tracert server.uthgard.net and check whether eurorings is on the way.

Maybe in another topic or something you could list computer parts that people can donate towards that can help boost the performance of the server, for example a Solid State Drive would speed everything up tremendously.

You can't change a hosted server. This is not server housing. All we can do is change the subscription plan. But honestly, with enough RAM and proper code we shouldn't face any performance problems.

I get lag spikes here and there but never any disconnects and I live in Colorado, USA. So maybe all USA players aren't affected?
