I'm having a real problem with lag, never had it happen before. Is there anything i can do to fix this or is this server side? Some guildies are experiencing it too

Check with WinMTR whether its the route to the server or the server itself. You can post your route to me in PM if you want.
It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.

Lag has been horrible. Many in chat have been reporting the same problems. I have fiber to my home in the US so I know my access in general is not sub-par. It is impossible to RvR with a 2-3 sec lag on a cast or swing. Please advise solutions. Thx

Check for lag types e.g. by using chat. Type a message and watch how quick it appears in the chat window => Thats your network lag.

Timer lags (which can be fixed by improving the server) can be seen by measuring the time between launching a spell and seeing the "begin casting" message. Ofcourse the network lag adds on top of that. So the server lag itself is the difference between timer and network lag.

Please make sure to know what type of lag you see when you talk about it. As that helps to identify problems.

I have some text lag but the lag that is bad is the stuff that warps you ahead 3 seconds because you missed those 3 seconds and Then "BAM" it's in front of you.

Not sure what WinMTR is.. but I'll look into it and let you know! (thanks for helping)

Well it seems to be both. Sometimes when i try to chat it takes a while and casting spells seems delayed. With the delay of casting after i finally cast the spells it takes it second for it to actually land.

I dont know if it helps but on the connection indicator its usually the middle square. It'll turn yellow/red for a second then it'll turn back to green. Also, there has been a few times ALL player characters will disappear and i'll have the first light and second light red, like im about to go link dead, then everything will snap back to normal. Last night 2 other players in my group experienced the same thing.

Not sure if that info helps
