The only place I ever seriously lagged was at the blacksmith shop. Now all of Britain is a lagfest.

Why did you have anything? A bard? Everything should have been newbie. For any of these lagfests, deloot first.

Cities are lagfests if there are a lot of other players nearby.

Full screen is a lagfest. I don't think you're going to be gaming on these, unless the technology got heaps better whilst I wasn't looking.

Just a shame that tech wasn't also applied to Frostfire Ridge, as it's a lagfest, eventually managed to get through the quests into my phased Garrison, left it for a new quest and boom, world server down.
