A nice prized fishing contest at USCHI OCEAN was announced in 7Seas Social Chat. As expected, most of the active fishers that were currently online (including me) went there to participate. The place was really laggy when I landed there. In fact, the fish servers were already acting up even before the contest started and when it finally started, all hell broke loose. The fish servers and the contest board were not responding correctly. Points were not being recorded and fish servers act as if they’re not there. It was so laggy that the board even recorded the ZERO points made by some players and that was the first time I saw that kind of thing happened.
(Early shot of the board, more ZERO points were displayed a little later.)
That went on up to the middle part of the contest when almost only half of the participants were left fishing. I tried all sorts of things to lessen the lag like moving away from group. I even wore my Personal Motorboat to act like a Personal Fishing Server. After, moving around a little, I found a nice little spot behind the Contest Board where I was able to fish and get my points recorded on the board too. (more…)
