Looks like they're starting to realize how much of a hole they dug for themselves with the datacenter move and their terrible response to the ensuing lag.

Quote for those who can't view it at work? Is it just the experience bonus Jerry announced in the Chronicle this week? Those bonuses are all on a set rotation.

Just some bonus XP, probably not related to the datacenter and lag(how is XP useful when the game is unplayable?)

Yeah, how much XP do you get when you enter a quest, hit the first set of mobs, then freeze in place while they beat the crap out of you until you die then you alt-F4 because you can't even recall?

I stopped playing two weeks ago, I'm waiting until they do something meaningful.

I got a lot of lag in Misery's Peak when soloing it, I don't see the point of leaving Korthos Island to end in a more laggy area.

It's somewhat better if you solo. I almost never group and I almost never get crippling lag like that, although I still get some lag and ofc I'm completely fucked if I group.

I keep hopping they'll pass out an extra aniversary token or something as an apology for the horrible lag Tongue We have gotten some nice "Sorry we fucked up" freebees over the years.

Wrong.  The 5% VIP XP does apply to saga and xp stones.  The quest XP bonuses do not, however.

Internally?
As opposed to externally agree?

Or are you saying you like to internalise Rubbins?

That would mean admitting that there is a serious fuck up.  Not just passing lip service that there is a minor inconvenience. This is going on long enough that a token won't even begin to compensate for the money they are stealing from the subs.

None of there "sorry, we dun fucked up" apology cakes have ever come close to making up for the money, but that's really not the point. The "I'm sorry I got a blow-job from a stripper" bouquet isn't worth much, but its a gesture.

It indicates that maybe, just maybe, they've actually noticed that their playerbase has been significantly reduced in the past three weeks while they've circled the wagons and tried to ignore the unrest.

They're throwing out xp for everyone to try and slow the bleeding while they look under the couch cushions for a clue on how to fix the lag.

Come on people, Turbine has done this exact same weekend bonus in the past, MULTIPLE TIMES, before lag.

When DDO throws out free Otto's Boxes to get back players, that is when Turbine is throwing in the towel.

Turbine is still in the ignore stage of the disaster and when Turbine reports the next player's numbers to Warner Bros is when the shit will hit the fan.

Infinite Stupid Crisis put Turbine on the ropes with the parent company, this datacenter move, which is probably saving Turbine $120,000 per year(throwing a number out there), but is going to end up being a huge revenue loss.

Warner Bros might just decide to cut bait on DDO and concentrate solely on LoTRO. 

It is clear that Turbine's network engineers are clueless on improving lag.  It is clear that Turbine's devs are completely and utterly clueless.  It is clear that whoever is doing the database queries has zero clue on how to optimize them.

Lol.  You think Lotro is in any better shape than DDO.  That's clueless commenting there.  They are bleeding clients and revenue worse than DDO.  They are in the same shit bag data center and got used as the guinea pig to boot.  They have had the same lag issues. 

WB has decided to concentrate solely on mobile gaming.  Both DDO and LoTRO are late life cycle products at this point.
