Lag in Instances + Endless "loading" screens when transitioning to a new area

[id0l]

I'm in the USA (Texas), and play with a buddy from Canada, and we're both having extreme lag / skill interruptions. People warping all over the place, but the real annoyance are the constant "INTERRUPTED" on skills accompanied by "Cannot execute at this time" messages.

Took all of these screenshots today as evidence:

This needs to be fixed - ASAP. Lots of people I grouped with today were complaining about this issue, mostly casters with long spell cast times (like myself), but it probably effects everyone to a degree. I had some people in my FC just give up doing dungeons today because the lag/skill interruptions are so bad.

I watched Transpose take 6+ seconds to switch from Astral Fire to Umbral Ice (several times) after casting, while sitting there being completely useless with little to no mana. I've had the same skill get interrupted SIX times in a row.

Unacceptable.

FYI, me and my friend are on the Leviathan server.

I also found this thread on GameFAQs mentioning the same issue: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/67805...eborn/68898091

That thread looks familiar.
