Npcs/ maps taking several minutes to load.

[Chajava]

I'm used to the npc's taking a few seconds to load in high traffic areas, but today it's gotten way worse. Loading into Coerthas took 4 minutes, and I spent a total of 6 minutes just now standing in front of where the map said a quest npc was located. Non busy area.

This makes doing any sort of questing, or trying to do a dungeon extremely difficult.

My first reaction would be to relog, but I also know that if I do that, chances are itll be several hours before I"m able to log on again.

Will second this and have also started experiencing my first instances of lag while traveling. Basically I'll run to a certain point and then hit an invisible wall until the game catches up and loads things like monsters and certain environmental clutter. I don't rubberband, which also makes it sees like the server trusts the client much like XI did, which could possible be exploited later. But in general, this delay seems worst in high traffic areas like certain parts of the main cities and cluttered quest hubs like Quarrymill. I can only really surmise that zones start to struggle as you pass, say, 200+ people in them.

I am noticing that NPC's are loading slow too. As for Saidosha that sounds like your client side maybe lagging due to your connection speeds getting decreased possibly from streaming other web content.
