Lag overtook all the servers during Event

[Punkin Pie]

I know we've been going through a rough time of lag and I understand that it's under investigation.

I just want to say that I feel organizing events at this time (imo) isn't the greatest idea.

I love events and I love Story time too but as soon as 9:30 pm est hit, so did the lag down of all the servers. Not just the server that Story time is on.

Chat started lagging then totally stopped. Crew chat, guild chat and even local chat stopped.
Then we got booted from server.

Can I suggest we don't try holding events until lag is more under control? It happened when Muertos Moon was active also.

Just a friendly idea.

I agree, once the 2017 Meet and Greet occurred, there seemed to be a major increase in lag. Not throwing the devs under the bus here, but I just think it would be a good suggestion to take into consideration.

The one update that occured before the meet and greet probably was to prioritize interactions (chat/pirate animations) and probably is whats causing the lag.
