Requesting developer response - please either tell us this is a problem you intend to fix or that it's working as intended. A response people don't like the sound of is still better than ignoring everyone.

Sad thought - though not directly comparable, I would like to mention that I didn't have animation delay/AOE/lag, etc. problems playing Phantasy Star Online. On Dreamcast. Using a 33k dial up modem. In 2001.
