the game is fun no doubt about it, the game is so graphical that the server have lots of lag, i experience a high latency on this game and would love for them to tone it down then i could be paying more for it and playing it more often any one else experience a high volume of in game lag with this game?

Emosin, what server(s) have you been playing on? How close is your machine to the "recommended" specs?

Virtue and Freedom are the two most highly populated servers. I spend most of my time on Virtue, and yes, I do get lag. But not all the time. And I don't quite meet the recommended specs. I just make sure I don't have other programs running and when things get really bad, I turn down my graphic and sound quality.

It could also be the zone/area you're in. A lot of people notice they have a lag increase in places like Pocket D or under the Atlas statue where people tend to gather and forget to turn off their AoE toggles.

Most of the time, the lag isn't a problem for me. If I'm soloing, taking longer than usual to zone in can be annoying, but it also gives me time to go get a refill, fold laundry, hit the can, etc. Rubberbanding is always frustrating, but it's usually over pretty quick and doesn't cause any harm.

The less you expect, the more you'll be surprised. Hopefully, pleasantly so.
