Speculation in my tribe led to the possibility that rain was causing server failure and lag the other night also the autodialing function is fucked up so it might be a culprit
Agreed.
Seriously though, this must be the case because when the map is changed, it is updated on everyone's client. Notice when you load into the game, it takes forever to load "Zones" and "Entities"? Well, it is loading the entire zone since there are no instances.
Also, why is pvp enabled when it is too laggy to hit anything, poo poo.
