This game is nearly unplayable with the amount of lag I’ve been experiencing the last few days. I’m not sure if it’s a server-side thing or the incredible influx of botters. It’s a bummer. I’m so so so scared for when this game is released as F2P and the flood gates open. Bots n lag not a good game make.
I would suggest that its a yes there probably is a correlation.
I only get minor lag in game but when ever it pops up it seems to be when ever a bot pops up whether its spamming or a bot train hunting. Its why IMC has put their trade restrictions ect. in place though. Hopefully they can figure something out before F2P.
