If you get lag, I've read that using the "click mouse to move to a location" is the method to move your character that is most sensitive to lag / rubberbanding. Other methods you may wish to try out is to start using the WASD keys or at least keeping your left mouse button depressed (and not click). So it may be a tip if you don't already play like that.

Yeah I probably wil never use the click to move thing. Just too many years of WASD to unlearn. OTOH the one thing I will never get used to is not being able to jump. I keep hitting the space bar and end up running back to an NPC.

Old dogs and tricks and all that...

Havent really lagged much at all, think I rubberbanded once maybe twice. One thing is for sure, launch was a hell of a lot better than most MMOs that come out. Still have fond memories of launch day and having the server crash.....about every ten minutes...I wont mention names, you know who you are!

I had one very noticible lag spike that lasted about 6 seconds while i was in a mission. My entire group (6 of us) all experienced it. Fortunately we werent fighting at the time. Other than that i really didnt notice any other lag. The rubber band effect is something i really dislike, but it happened even in the alpha when there was nearly no server load, so its definately not a bandwidth issue. I'm pretty pleased with the launch.

My bad, I was downloading from 5-9 last night just to get to the city. Thankfully the rest of the areas take less than 20 minutes to download on dial up. It was the only way I could play.

I did get a rubberbanding 3-4 times when I played but the combat didn't suffer nor did I for the effect. Not too shabby for dial up and MMORPG.
