I'm in NE Oregon and have the same issue with horrible lag, sometimes I will stand around waiting for the NPC quest giver I need to see show up. I will get up fix a cup of coffee, give the dogs a treat go to the little girls room and maybe when I get back I can finally turn in my quest because now the person has shown up and oooh no wait, there is no quest turn in above their head, ok so sit and wait for another few seconds and yup there it is finally. Turn in quest, lag lag lag, tell myself ok one more before bed, and two hours later (what should have been maybe 15 to 20 minutes) I might be half way through a quest run that should have been very simple. Go to point A talk to so and so then go to point B give them the item that was given to me cheers get reward next quest and off I go. Instead I'm fighting this horrible lag and in Limsa Limnosa if the lag is too bad I fall through the bridges land on top of the water, almost die and have to use my return spell to get back up. >.< My son was laughing at me last night as it happened 4 times while trying to turn in my quest at lvl 15. Nuts just nuts. Oh was playing on a different character.
