    Screen freezes are more commonly than not because of your own hardware being unable to update fast enough for the game. Server-side lag can be recognized on others and yourself stopping mid-channel of a skill, monsters stopping their attacks and movements, and on an inability to click objects or people.

    The server side lag u describe Enina is exactly wat i have to put up with(screen freeze) were everyone stops and twiddles there thumbs for 5-6 seconds in the middle of battle.Then u get 5-6 seconds worth of play in a milli-second,thats wat i'm trying to get rid of. Anyone no how to and anyone know how i log into the Europe based servers ? And Zoe plz read closer,i didn't ask for a euro-version,i asked for a Europe _BASED_ SERVER_.

    I don't think they they can physically put a server in European territory, since another company already have the liscensing rights to the European territories.

    Oddly enough, the European version has servers based in Europe.
    Much like the Chinese version has servers around China, the Malaysian around Malaysia, etc.

    Server lag doesn't cause you to stop in the middle of an action, or freeze the screen. You can still run around, you'll finish channeling a spell, etc. However, you can't start most new actions. You won't cast a spell after having finished channeling it, you'll get teleported back if you've been running around, etc.

    the euro version is the PW-MS one.

    but... UI is outdated, you play in Disneyland ( most mobs wont aggro)
    most of the updates arent done yet ( seems normal since they are only open for 4 months)


    and most of all ... i do get as many lags there , as i do on sancturay ( I play from France)

    and venos cant buy Herc nor nix yet...sniff sniff ...
    I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.

    Rules= Know your enemy (players and NPCs) gives you more chances to survive.

    There is no difference in ping times between PW-MS and PWI that would matter (I think it's around 100ms additional ping, which is nothing worth mentioning). Whatever it is that causes those screen freezes is very unlikely to have anything to do with the distance between EU and US.

    I'm in Europe and playing on Dreamweaver. So far I haven't experienced such massive lags you're describing.
    You could try to play on one of the new servers which are located on the east coast, maybe that will already solve your problem?

    I believe the graphic settings doesn't have anything to do with server lags. If your game lags a lot on the lowest and highest quality settings its probably your machine not the server.
    It might also be your internet connection which causes lagging.

    A european times based server would already be enough for me. Maybe I could be able to attend some TW's then.b:surrender

    Dreamweaver has less hops to Europe and has much less players than the older three servers thus noticably less lag.

    I've noticed this happens to me around 5pm gmt time,usually lasts until 9,though not as extreme as your case.

    Try playing once or twice at a different time than you normally play,could just be server congestion coupled with not having great internet(idk what your connections like)also give your comp a good cleaning if it needs it(and i don't mean wiping it of dust b:chuckle )
    Quit 100%...and surprised my forum account wasn't banned...yet
