Anyone else lagging?

I can also report that town lag is town-specific now and not just everywhere. Leafre, Orbis and Mu Lung are fine but Edelstein still provides one of my computers more than it can handle. I didn't test any others though.

I disagree. For me, it's any town where I have to be within 2 screens of Gaga. If I am on the very edge of Heny, I can get control back. I can usually make it through orbis and Magatia. But, NLC, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning, Nautlius, Lith... all of them cause me to slow down to nearly nothing. If I am real patient, I can get out of those towns in roughly 12-15 minutes by working through the lag. (Yes, 12-15 MINUTES just to get out of town.)

This happens on any PC I have with 2G of memory. My 4G+ memory PCs (with a decent video card) can do generally fine.

And just a note, when the holiday decorations were removed from the towns, I got a little bit of improvement in some towns (such as Pantheon). It doesn't get super heavy lag as quickly. However, I have to stay on the right side of Pantheon to avoid lag.
