Check the announcements. There is a current issue with hardware or software that's been persistent since the start of the world.

Donate around 20,000$ to Jorb and that might do the trick.

At the moment lag is thought to be a software issue not a hardware issue. Going to need to give loftar time to figure it out.

This has come up in the past. From what I understand, Jorb and Loftar are free to a good home but must not have any other cats in the house. Good with children, careful letting them near your drapes.

I wonder if having more RAM should help anyhow? I can't even fight an ant without the screen freezing and clicking on the map with a hope for escape.

Referring to the server or your computer? This is an old thread that may not even be relative anymore.

As far as your computer, more RAM isn't likely to help unless you're running on a 15 year old system with 2-4 GB of RAM. In that case, your processor is going to be the serious issue. Without knowing specifics, it's hard to make any sort of suggestion.
