Lag

I have been playing for months on Behemoth, and never had any lag issues. This past week, no matter what time of the day or night, I will run fine for the first five minutes, then the music starts skipping, npc's disappear, invisible mobs hitting me, and I have no choice but to log out. I also play ESO, and am having no lag issues there, and I also have all settings at minimum to improve performance.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but just wanted to bring this up because for me it is almost unplayable currently.

Greetings fellow Eorzean,

I'm sorry to hear that you have been experiencing these bouts of lag in-game. Are you noticing any drops in frames per second, or any rubber-banding? Does this appear to be more of a connection or performance issue? Does the lag tend to worsen in areas of high player population? Are you currently using a wireless or wired connection?

We hope we can of assistance with this issue. Thank you for posting in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums!
