Is the lag ever going to be fixed?

Everytime there’s a server maintenance, gameplay becomes so smooth and fun again, but after just a couple of days, the inevitable lag/high ping kicks in… this has been going on since day 1 in a seemingly endless cycle. Case in point: fully charged multishot = level 5 when it’s supposed to be level 15. That’s how bad it is.

At this point, I’m just logging in daily to finish my missions (and if I can bear it, my dungeon runs), but besides that, I just don’t feel like doing anything else in the game.

Will this ever be fixed or do we have to put up with it for as long as the game is around?

Not anytime soon while white knights bash down threads about game issues.

Remember kids: It only takes one person out of a crowd of 50 to say, “I’m not lagging” for IMC to assume it’s just their ISP / location from server / computer.

For some reason I'm finding direct correlation between high server load (high number of players online) and high latency/lag. I'm been noticing that right after every maintenance the game's nearly lag-free - all skills work well, your character hits with every attack animation (no doubling), NPCs respond immediately, etc. So maybe upgrading to a better - faster and higher capacity - server is needed (again)?

To add, bot armies are being ran again a few hours to a day or two after the maintenance hence the returning lag.
