Server having troubles?

Ok so since the server reopened last saturday the pings were very good, up until yesterday. Now they seem to get up in the 100-400's every game. It's not just the maps either, a lot of the maps were ones that I have played on a lot with no lag, so I just thought I'd bring this up, maybe theres something going on? Its got to the point sometimes where I cant see anything (firing from me or monsters and monsters and radar) I was just playing and it happened so I said screw it and left. I know other players said they couldnt see anything either on a game earlier. This hasnt happened to me in a long time so somethin must be wrong.

well i dont want it to say and not, that i want it to happen to others and its sh!t when it happens but with a lil smile in my face i must say, good it happens to others than me too. the only thing i allways wonder is why this happens to others with much lower ping than i have! this makes no sense for me and make me believe it could be its not a pingthing... w/e

i expirienced some other problems, wtf is up with ghost?
i only played 5-6 maps in last 2 days and died 5-6 times in 4 different maps in/between the walls. this never happend before to me. (only gohsted in glitch or got killed while ghostetd, but never died with a stupid: "ats had an ...forgot the word.." (like when you suicide) )-message

2 of them are "fixed" maps, 1 i forgot, i will search for it and know when i see, one is this "new" training day with floating plattform and now with the turrets in evry corner,
the good old sandstorm and the last is this (ut99-classic-)redeemer-map

and it was no laggy to me, i had "only" ping around 180...
btw, you sure all ok with you? i wonder you join server and within first 5 seconds the first thing you say is "lag".
you sure YOU are not affected by your drugs?

Huh? haha, well its not lag, when I join the server it usually runs slow for me for the 1st minute because I only have 512 ram and a crappy radeon x800 card,, although I dont say it "every" game but its been a problem in the past where It takes me until wave 2 or 3 for it to stop.

Ghost is a ut bug I believe...

i didnt say evry game, i said evry time when you join the server (the first time at this day, or after a break joining again...) btw... i have "only" a gforce 4200 ti with 128mb, all settings lowest, and many gfx-features "off"... it runs fine and i laugh about that players who say "lag" and "i have 8 fps"... and when i look i have around 40 at the place where he/she has 8....
wrong gfx-settings...
but this is another story...

@syn
ghost is not a bug... its a normal "programmed" >cheat<... if this is buggy or not good workin with a mod like this which uses a >cheat< for a players-option to have a 2. life then maybe some programmers should rethink about ghost, if it should be used or fixed or w/e

you know, it is weird...i have played a lot lately and not until the last few days have i see the ghosting into the wall and "monster pushed *** over the edge" occur so frequently. i wonder if perhaps something is degrading in some way. it happen today about 6 times, and on maps i have never seen it happen before. its not common, but its becoming more prevalent than i have ever seen.

along these lines of ghost issues and server stuff...the server is becoming more and more lagged than ever and i wonder why. not one single map with 14 or more people has run smoothly and i constantly find myself in the latter 10 waves jutting across the screen suddenly and finding myself shooting into a wall or such.

and ghosting at these times is very weird too...while ghosting, the gameplay is going normally all around with monsters and those who are alive, but ghost is moving really really slow, and often times appearing as if every two seconds, the ghost moves backwards, then forwards a bit more, then more returning back again etc etc. yesterday i it took me 3 minutes to ghost from one end of pooltable to the other..no joke.
