Im a European player (UK) and i play on Ahazi which is a US West Coast server. I dont have a problem with lag at all. The ping may show as a higher number but it doesnt affect the gameplay at all. In say a FPS, you have to worry about lag and your ping as it affects your play, but with this is doesnt.
I wouldn't change from Ahazi if you paid me!
I think what is being said is, with JTL being twitchy..almost FPS...that lag may play a more significant part...I guess we will see when Beta hits just how bad its going to be
That is exactly what im saying,
myself i have no trouble with lag on FPS games unless ofcourse i join a sever a million miles away,
If somone has a ping of 200 on a US server playing from Europe, then when JTL comes out this may affect the lag that user will experience. And being a more lag dependent type of game they may have problems.
Just a thought. i really think some people may have problems

As with any online game of a 'twitchy' nature lag plays an important part as things have to happen pretty much instantanously. I reside in the UK and have been playing on Bloodfin since release. I get a ping of around 130-200ms which is fine for the ground based game. But if anyone used to play XvT online then you know that a ping of that value is very bad for a space simulator.
Im pretty sure that SOE will try thier upmost to reduce latency, but any euro person playing on US servers will unfortunatly have to live with the lag and the many 'deaths' that may result from it :/.
I will buy JTL but i will focus on the ShipWright profession more than the Pilot with my bloodfin character.

I'm pretty sure it will be better, like someone said before, there's a lot less to load, so it's not going to be jump to lagspeed like some people might say.

Lag either will be a huge issue in the game, or magicially fixed for the 56kers

what type of connection are you using ? when it comes to lag its more about your modem and connection than anything else , what type of modem and what type of connection are you using ?

its the server then , if your not having any problems at your end , its the server , are you playing on Bria by any chance ? that place has been mobbed for the past week , the traffic always seems to be very heavy there .

actually wait a mo...you've tested your connection speed outside of the game right ? i mean just the other day my own Router went haywire , the Router was connectingbut the computer wasn't , if your Computer was shorted out , you may have damaged your Router , meaning that your getting an interrupted connection , the fix could be as simple as turn everything off , un-plug everything , plug it all back in and see if that helps , i doubt it will be any of your software , unless of course your PC crashed out when it was blown , check your hardware before you check your software and if everything "is" working at yourend its just the server itself .
