Just a question about VPN. How is it supposed to make things better? I don't know much about networking and such, and I know nothing about VPN. But I read up some on it, and the way I understand is that VPN mask your IP but in the process it lowers your internet speed. If that is so, I don't understand how it would help.

My lag issues aren't really what has been discussed in this thread though. I would be extremely happy if I had 0.3 s lag. The worst days I can't even craft. You press the actionbar and then have to wait 5 seconds before the action is performed. It's been like this on and off the past week. Although late at night when not as many people are online, all lag issues goes away. Is SE squeezing more people on each server than they are able to handle?
