Taken from another post... they are aware of the problem, but their answering here repeatedly won't make the problem fix itself. Just sign the post with your displeasure, but understand a continual stream of "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH" from us does not actually make things any better for anyone.
(feels good to let the steam out tho in either case)

i'm not sure what is happening and can't say alot atm. all i can say is it's being looked into and it will get sorted asap. there is a server hotfix going in on tuesday (hopefully if it passes testing) that will handle the load balancing alittle better and hopefully a few other issues fixed.
can't say anymore at this time, but it's not being ignored

maGz - LoL. Yep if the server cluster could speak then "Grind Fart Splutter..." would be the right noises whilst it leaked memory until an emergency reboot. Oops! Watch those bookmarks people! Its overloading the system!
Next post from CCP:
Dear players, due to excessive player buying, you may only keep a maximum of 100 items per station, and may only store items in up to 10 stations per region.
Best regards,

Quick non-fix, move away from Motsu/Salia/Isenairos/Aramachi, there are just way to many people in that area, I dont think they will be able to fix the current problem, unless they start to move the agents around, so we dont have six level four agents so close together.

I began playing eve a week or so before the patch, and it worked flawlessly. Not a single CTD, not a single connection-lost... But Post-Dragon it has been getting progressively worse. At this point I don't even attempt missions because I know that the lag will cause a CTD, and that'll be that. I had 7 CTD's in the span of 30 minutes just trying to do a L2 Drone Infestation mission. I have friends that I can't even send a convo-request, because they'll get a 10 minute lag fest.
I'm psyched that there are 30k users. I think it's awesome that China is coming. All of these things mean that CCP is growing and expanding and working to become an even greater development company. But right now, I'm paying $15 a month for the opportunity to crash constantly, and that disturbs me to no end. If the gaming experience can't be improved drastically in the near term, there's no reason for me to play it. :(

The lag seems to be pretty univeral, I have to agree it's getting harder to do missions. CCP, I love your game.. just please help with the lag. Shardless is a great concept but only if you keep up with the hardware demands of it.

Finally a post, that shows how it really is to play EVE.
I cant agree more.
Yesterday i started to do missions again for almost + a year. I was stunned, as 60% of the times i was UNABLE to activate any modules. My lasers took up to 40 seconds before they started to shoot, which is UNACCEPABLE.
We pay loads of money for this game, so i would expect to be able to play the game, right? Well... no, wrong. Even the PVP sucks in these days. I lost a Zealot yesterday, because i was unable to dock. Oh, it said: "Docking" but ehm... HELLO LAG, HOW ARE YOU? and then like 3 mins later i popped.
I really hope CCP is thinking of something to do with the excessive lag. It only makes me sad to see: "30000 player barrier broken" - This means more and more lag... I have a 100 MBit connection and a decent computer, this is not MY problem, CCP, this is YOUR problem, please do something!

I'm so ****ed right now. I just logged on this morning before I have to go to school and what do I get? 1 Minute until scheduled one hour downtime. WHAT?! How am I going to get my serving of EVE before School?! I need something to relax the strain of senior year! Surely the fact that CCP is cramming 30k players in a single server is the reason for this. The strain on the server would be enormous. Come on CCP, I know games that have hundreds of thousands of players, but they spread them across 70 servers. They don't pack them like sardines into one server and say "the lag is your fault". Speaking of lag, I just started paying for EVE yesterday, and the lag I got yesterday was way worse than the lag from when I was a free account back in July. Back then it was bearable, but now it's just rediculous.

Unfortunately the lag is serious everywhere.. I live in Australia so am blessed with a much quieter peak time i.e. 13-14k players, however doing missions near Tash Murkon was a sad joke, put simply if I had not placed both reppers on my tank going before the mission the 3 (yes 3 consecutive) 10 minute freezes and then CTD's would have me looking for a new ship. It quite seriously felt like there were mass bookmarks being copied in local, but that can't happen now.. right....?
It seems certain mission cause lag.. as soon as the 'accept' button or whatever is pushed the game starts to stutter, the mission is a jerky lag fest, and the end is met with real relief.
Memory Leaks now becoming serious - I have played EVE on and off for over a year now, and can honestly say I have never had a CTD that wasn't self induced until after Dragon. now I am guaranteed one every 3-4 hours.. the game starts well, nice and smooth, the gradually becomes more and more jerky - then freeze and CTD. Upon relogging all is good and the cycle starts again 
The next patch had better concentrate more on fixing the problems and less on more *meh* content, or players WILL start leaving.. no I am not one of them at present unless the situation becomes hopeless... (read next note).
I have never posted to whine to or at CCP before, but given the current state of gameply, seing reports of CCP officials/PR guys bragging about 30k consecutive players is quite simply a insult 
For a long time now (in fact every time they do it) the posts about x number of consecutive players breaking a new barrier feels like a bigger and bigger stinging slap in the face, CCP give it up! I don't think you realise just how insulting we, the people who pay your wages, find this bragging when the game gets harder and harder to play with each new barrier broken.
P.S. This is my second attempt (the first one was quite stirring too  ) but I got a 'server internal error - this error has been reported blah blah' upon trying to finalise it.

Signing on that the lag sucks and something MUST be done about it soon.
Would rather have a playable game then more features.
Quite working on the new version and start fixing the version you have that is not working correctly.

Yes, it is very  frustrating to do missions and to PVP. And even worse is the
inability of devs. to admit it! I agree totally with the OP.

PS. I have this character for 6 months now and still I have an exclamation mark
for a character portrait, how long can it take for the devs. to fix this! Just
shows you the type of management that drives the development: none!

Its an extra special kick in the sack to read the "woo 30K players" note on the frontpage when those 30K players can't actually play the game. If all those new accounts are people sampling the game then the bubble will burst shortly. The game currently plays like something from 2000/2001 in its current state of lag and bugs.

Although it won't help a bit, I'll add my two cents.
My corp mates and I have noticed the lag building since early summer, but the past month has been literally unplayable. Missions in Kaunokka or Aramachi? Scratch that, and move all equipment back to corp HQ. Prowling around Cal low-sec or nearby 0.0? Prolly not a good idea. Chase pies or run plexes in Sinq? Not if you're particular about your mods activating when you give the command, or your drones responding, or your ship surviving...
I have three accounts, all of which I foolishly prepaid for big blocks of time. Since I can't cancel for a refund, I guess I'll have to let them run the course and suspend when they're up. It really pains me to do so, because I've been addicted to this game since Day One, and I haven't taken a break in more than a year of playing. I wish CCP would show the same commitment.
P.S. One thing I absolutely cannot stand is the fanboys who advocate moving out of problem areas. First, the "problem" is spreading. If you're currently playing in a lag-free system or region, you'd better relish you experience, because at the rate things have degenerated in the last 90 days it won't last. Second, CCP doesn't sell a galaxy of 5K systems, "only portions of which are playable." Why should players be expected to alter their gaming because of inadequate infrastructure?

The lag has been getting worse lately out in Paragon Soul and Impass as well, and traffic advisories and gate jump queues on systems with nobody in them are absolutely INFURIATING.

Ok, while I'm sure at the moment the CCP team is sitting back and thinking, 'Hooray, the server is currently up and working properly', some of us are getting serious reason to differ. I just felt I had to write about what just happened to me, since I haven't seen nearly enough complaints on this in the forum compared to what I see and hear from people in-game.
I just tried an L4 Pirate Invasion; I warp over, trigger the gate. My hardeners take 4-5 seconds to activate, but that isn't so bad. 
Ok, so I start destroying the first group that auto-aggros me. My launchers take 5-10 seconds to activate; not brilliant, but bearable. A few cruisers go down.
The auto-aggro group sends a few frigates, so I release my medium drones and send them after one. Four or five minutes later, and after repeating the command a fair few times, my drones are still not bothering to target the specific frigate I selected, but are picking their own. Handy that.
Inevitably, I then need to shield boost, so I hit the module. After about 10 seconds it activates, and then shuts down immediately once orders. That would be alright, but within the space of 3 or 4 activations, it then takes 20 seconds or more to activate. Bit worrying, right? 
My thoughts at this point are, 'to hell with this', so I order my ship to align to a beacon in preparation for my warping out. My drones are a lost cause - they still haven't attacked that frigate target, and now certainly won't return to me. I order a warp when aligned properly and wait.
Over 30-40 seconds pass before my ship actually goes to warp.
Pretty good thing I decided to warp early before my ship actually needed to get out of there.
I don't want to be harsh but from the beginning, with all the issues you saw, why did you even attempt the mission? EVE is having problems at the moment and a patient person would avoid a situation that will probably end with a bang.
On the other hand, although I love playing EVE and I can wait out the problems witht he server, I do really wish we could get an update with what EXACTLY is going. We are the customers and the little tidbits of "oh we had a small glitch" simply don't satisfy our curiosity. And, while the EULA doesn't say CCP bows to the customer, I think the majority have gotten to the point where we are actually demanding answers to our questions. Obviously you can't go around answering stupid or small questions about why there is a problem here and there for ever little thing, but at the moment all of EVE suffering and I think at the least, we DESERVE closure.
P.S. Love you CCP.

Oh yeah, and to counter your complaint, a friend and I have been doing level 4 missions for over a month out near Ardar. Not once during that entire time did we suffer from heavy lag, not during missions nor pirat... pvping. If you understand how EVE works, you'll realize lag and performance are usually cluster/node based. Just the other day we were in Fountain suffering from incredible lag. Friend logs and then node crashed. Now I have limited server knowledge but I assume another node picked up the weight because I immediately logged back in and all lag is gone. And the following day, friend is in same system with lag. I'm three jumps away and system is healthy as a Wallstreet *****. Like someone else said, spread out.
Sorry for changing the subject but once you realize Empire sucks, EVE gets more fun.
