Lag spots getting worse?

[Wyry]

I have stuttering/stopping, too, in several zones. I thought it is due to massive buildings like the whole founders isle when I move from zone 980 to 979 (stop and stutter). Same happens when I approach e.g. Valorinak Republik or Pawnee, Master Builders etc.

I thought that it is getting worse because tribes add building pieces (e.g. for animal pens) or have lots of logs which they had not before. I experience this especially when e.g. Hideout in 980 felled trees and chopped many logs. Then I have lags when going from 979 to 980, which I have not if they removed the logs.

I've experienced it when there are no massive buildings around for instance while swimming across the lake. Not near Founders or the shore line and with nothing around me but water and nothing on the mini map but water. The last time I was killed by an animal because of a lag spot was at a river crossing/waterfall in the southwestern part 743 and there is absolutely no large buildings or stacks of anything down there.

Last night I was running a character from founders to 703. I swam to 901. took the main road to 861, then the secondary road that runs south through 862 down to 782, then picked up a player made road that runs from there to the southwestern part of 702 and finally cross country to 703.

Lots of lag spots all the way. Some just a little hiccup, others a stutter, at least 2 that had me stopped mid stride for a couple of seconds and a mix of buildings, bridges and nothing but countryside.

Interestingly enough when running around 863 in close proximity to Cloud Nine and Master Builders I don't recall having this issue but I'm old so that may just be my short term memory.
