I start playing wizard101 3 days ago and it was perfect but now it lags very much! I can move but i can't do nothing!
I can't walk though the doors, i can't go to the other areas or worlds and i can't join to battles or speak to a npc because there is no one there to fight or speak! I love that game and i want so much to play but i can't because of the lag. If it is possible can you please help me so i can again play wizard101? And if you ask me about my computer: 8 gb installed ram, 168.6 gb free disc space and 2.4GHz. Thank you! [please respond as fast as you can because i love that game!!!]

Due to massive Lag....I get locked out of everywhere...Going through tunnels ...In battle ..trying to go home. Everything I am trying to do meets with massive lag. I play every day and night...This started slightly last night. But today it is impossible to do anything. Is anyone else having this issue? I cleaned, turned off, rebooted, emptied and anything else I can think of with my laptop and it all seems ok with everything else. So my diagnosis is ..The game . Please Help!!

Okay so the systems appeared to be down and Kingsile says follow their Twitter Feed for more information. Yet the feed has not been updated for anything in the last 5 days it seems.

I would have thought that it would at least have a message that they are aware the system is having issues.

Just my 2 cents.

Normally there is not much if any lag. I do know I encounter some lag when the system is downloading new sections and how my PC processes those downloads into the system. But overall even with the DYN DNS DDOS attack occurred Wizard101 seemed to operate fine.

So it has to be something not normal with the system itself. Just an observation.

Make sure you have unlocked the areas and the ability to speak to the npcs, that could be a possible problem.

Its not your computer..many people are having problems with lag and connection. It took me over 15 minutes to load a teleport, even going to my house was taking almost 30 minutes. Started having problems with the test realm yesterday for a few hours...

Considering the massive lag only lasts for a period of time, I feel like this is a Ddos attack, but it could also be something as simple as an update.

Actually a lot of the times it is the computer. Some computers can't run as well as others. Also, test realm is always slow and annoying.
