Not sure if it's a bug or not, it could just be for everyone, but recently I've noticed that it takes a much longer time to load the game and enter streets as opposed to say, a month ago.
I've also had this issue. It does make sense, considering the amount of work they're doing behind the scenes to get the updates done. Hopefully it'll get better soon. :)
For most people they log off in their house where - they have all of their hoard. If you just stack stuff on the floor when you log in you can actually watch the stacks get built up from nothing.
Suggestion would be to bag everything and name the bags or start selling stuff off ....
I'm not sure that's the issue, BlackWolf. I've been having problems with lagging and loading times increasing the longer I play. Reloading the page helps a bit, though. I guess TS has a memory leak issue somewhere (according to my wonderful software-engineer husband).
Think there might be 'stuff' going on. Earlier I had a strange experience where one street was overlaid on another. I had been sent out of the Ancestral Lands but was still there with another ordinary street on top. It cleared itself and I was transported to another street, a few minutes later I tried to teleport and it said I was already teleporting. Huh?
Have reported it, in case it is useful, but suspect there is work going on behind the scenes, maybe?
@BlackWolf oh i know my hoarding causes house lag but it didnt used to take so long to load and ive recently burned up a lot of my stash.
maybe they're having server problems. after all that gardening nerf that had glitches agitated was instated to reduce server strain if i recall correctly. ...i like the work behind-the-scenes answer instead :)
