Regardless of what Sunshine or any of the other GMs tell you, there is no solution to the lag. They will not upgrade their server, even if they could. The free grace cookies allow new toons to be made and can run 2-3 days straight with grace, farming up to 3m+ adena each toon, maybe more with some lucky drops, without ever having to spend a single dollar or Euro. With a 10 box limit, every hardcore player, no-lifer, RMT gamer, and adena farmer are running 10 toons per PC, and many have multiple PCs. All of these toons are flooding the servers and causing the lag. This is why the lag didnt start until the free Grace Cookies were added. Before that, it wasnt worth it to run F2P adena farming toons with a 95% nerf, or even the 70% nerf if you are willing to spend $6/month for the Sayha Will. The lag will fix itself when people start to quit. Until then, just deal with it and keep donating like good little sheep.
