Back in April of 2011 when they started this they were building the server engine with Lag and How much you can see on a screen in mind. I'm not worried at all by this. ( An Getting rid of Animation Lock is a big plus anyhow).
Great, you're not worried, you're not the only person in the world.

Some of us are worried, we dont want all this lag, it is SE specific, I've played on many games with servers in US/Asia/Japan, even Australia and had better ping times from the UK than I get from SE. But the issue is mainly something to do with its structure, you can do an action and have it processed very quickly, that is not the issue much it is how its dealing with certain data such as positioning data that is a problem, also how it deals with inventorying is a problem. When you trade an item it can take seconds to complete with the user, trade with retainer also takes a very long time and so on. This is what we're talking about.
