I am from Europe and I use lamblis and besevrona on a daily basis, I have not noticed any connection problems, in case it helps you
It would be helpful if at least one t6 network set their routing up so you donāt have to go through any EU servers to travel. Maybe one is already set up this way and Iām unaware of it. Itās pretty frustrating being unable to get to the new exo because the pathway to get close enough to warp there is unplayable, even if the new exo might work fine.

Ive been thinking about making a detour
Isnt HSE set up that way? it doesnt go through ol bessie

FWIW, the weird thing is that the PS4 at my house is on the same Wi-Fi but has never had any problems.

You can bypass all of the EU and AUS T5-6 if you go through the Portal Seekers Hunterās Courtyard.

Boundless is very different from other online games. Most games prerender a static environment on the client side. Each Boundless World has billions of potential entities that can be manipulated by many players. That is a lot of data. The occasional net traffic issue is the price we pay for having a game universe that is worldwide.
Ultima and Portal Seekers both have their hubs set up by world region. The main Ultima hub is EU though. Portal Seekers has region hubs on Grovidias Te (USW), Biitula (USE), Lamblis (EUC), Boori (AUS).
I hope that helps.

Doesnāt code gleam go to serp via maryx? I canāt remember but I think it does
Edit: never mind, I think thereās one stop in between but Iām pretty sure it would avoid EU to go that way
I just dont see in this day and age how developers dont see these issues. For years we had designated servers for this exact issue. Can you imagine if this game was popular? The traffic would make this game also unplayable. Im fairly certain this issue is also a reason why people throw their hands up and go play something else. These issues have been here since day 1 though they have been less frequent until late (speaking for myself).
I have my main home on EU planet so I cant just bypass EU.
If Im bound to a certain few planets then its not exactly Boundless is it?

Connectivity on my end has been pretty good for all the regions up until the last few days. It seems like the latest issue is due to Comcast.
It would be nice if the devs refactored the blink secs for the T5-6 planets to make it possible to stay in the same region when these things happen. And yeah, it sucks if you built your main base in another region.

Thanks yes that helps. I was able to finally get to where I wanted to go without constantly being forced to the sanctum.
The only problem now is the worlds I have to avoid are evidently the ones where I was shopping at the most. Iāll have to find new shops or start making my own items until it gets fixed.
Thanks again for that info on map layout.
Hopefully its back to normal before the dodge bomb event Sunday. Arena is on Biitula. if you can get there we should be fine.
Everything seems to be ok for me - I just visited all the different regions (but from the UK).
Routing can be very different especially when we have players from many different regions and networks connecting.
The servers are all running fine. We have many metrics ans notifications to give us details about their status.

Use to have a company called Adelphia before comcast took over. They were much better.

On a semi-related note the issue I am having about unplayable is after switching characters. I can be perfectly fine but when the new character loads into the same area itās unplayable for a few minutes and if I leave it alone it settles down just fine
I was able to go to Besevrona this afternoon but havenāt had time to try Circ or Ereso. So thatās good news that Bes is working.
