Lag

Unfortunately one of the more memorable parts of playing Evony Free Forever is the site of the little clock madly ticking away and not being able to see anything happening on the screen.  This is the dreadded lag monster that affects most MMORPG at one stage or another.

Evony is working on combatting the lag by upgrading their servers and developing better client-server code to minimise the data sent between and un block the choked up lines into the Evony server.

One of the updates that Evony has done is to do an automatic reconnect when the player loses contact with the server.  This is a great feature and works well.  When the lag watch has been up for a while there is often a message telling the player to refresh the page and reconnect.  This sometimes helps, but more often than not will put the player out to the logon page to try and connect to Evony for 10, 15 or possibly over 20 minutes.
