Major Chat Lag

Currently the game is lagging way way behind... Yes i've checked my entire internet to make sure it wasn't something on my end but it's the game only. Chat is lagging 30+ seconds behind I type a message then wait for it to finally pop up. I logged out to try and fix it and apon logging in all my addons are reset as well

Harkrider✭✭✭My /g1 messages are taking ~5 minutes to appear in chat. Same with /w.
I often get a minor delay in chat, but nothing this bad until now.
I actually had to relog a few minutes ago, and I got put on the overflow server. It seems the servers are being pushed to their breaking point.1 -
Hoylegu✭✭✭Wow, nasty chat lag, guild not showing up, now my character are stuck in the world...C'mon Zenimax. Megasevers are not the future. We need more manageable server sizes.0 -

Friend list, ignore list and guilds are all disabled when you get put on the overflow server. They will be restored once you get moved to the megaserver. This is an automatic change that occurs once space is available.2 -
Hoylegu✭✭✭Great, so I'm in a queue. I can't play, can't group with friends, addons all borked...great technology there.0

korwinthale✭✭✭another Zenimax FAIL
and no missing guild is not an Overflow server issue or NOBODY on the server would have them I have my guild info but my buddy doesnt was vise versa not long ago. I posted a line into guild chat it took 10 minutes for it to post still waiting on response

And that would be great if the guild chat actually worked on the megaserver rather than the 5-10 minute lag many people are experiencing.0 -
I have been in game for a few hours so I am not on the overflow servers and I was trying to take something from the guild bank, got a few and then it said guild bank was full, yet I am TAKING out not putting in and it isn't full anyway. Cannot talk in anything but zone chat. All my guilds are there and friends list, just can't talk to them. Cannot send a private message or join guilds either.0

Hoylegu✭✭✭This would all be solved if they abandoned this megasever garbage and ran normal servers. Hell, when the servers DO work, it's impossible to kill any mobs! Everything, everywhere, is so overcamped.0

Tested and same issues. /Gchat and /w are taking forever or just not showing up. Thanks for looking into it. Alos, the Cyrodiil campaigns look to be borked as well. (No I'm not in an overflow)0

The servers are under a ton of stress, hence the overflow server being necessary.
In my opinion, chat lag isn't a huge deal once you consider the other possibilities.0 -
Altheina✭✭✭I can confirm that I and my guildmates are still having this issue.Altheina - Wood Elf Nightblade
TESO Fun-fact 1: It takes to kill 119,050 mudcrabs to reach level 50
TESO Fun-fact 2: There are 61 million items in the game
TESO Fun-fact 3: There are 40,656,000 different weapon variations in the game0 -
MinkaSoul ShrivenThe chat being behind is A LOT less frustrating than your add-ons all being reset.0

Which, imo is kind of an indictment of the megaserver. If it can't handle the stress of all the people logged on then maybe it wan't such a good idea. The mere fact that they created an overflow server implies that they knew the megaserver wasn't up for the job.
I know it's the still a new game and soon after launch so the population is high at the moment, and the game will most likely bleed players after 30 days. But what if it actually gains players? The reviews have been generally favorable, I think it's a pretty enjoyable game despite many of the game design decisions that I disagree with, but if we're already above capacity now...1 -
Zershar_Vemod✭✭✭✭✭Lag wouldn't even cover what I am experiencing at the moment...it's like a void, taking all my posts and never giving them back...
And to make it worse, I got into a guild I've wanted to join, and it looks like I'm some jerk who doesn't even post a 'thank you' for the acceptance invite haha..hopefully the guild leader sees my PM here on the forums >_> ...House Nyssara (NA)

To be fair, not all of the physical servers are ready for use just yet.
The EU megaserver was only recently brought online. Before it was being used, EU players were hosted on the NA server. They're still bringing more hardware online and increasing capacity.0 -

OK, that is a fair point. And hopefully as it gets up and running this will have been a one time thing and I won't have anything bad to say about the megaserver.0 -

Yeah, I sure hope so! I really love the megaserver idea. There will never be any shortage of new people to play with. It's quite amazing IMO. They just need to get some of the issues worked out!
