Slow? Disconnecting? Freezing?

OK, so I've been having issues lately with the game. This is what happens: While playing, people around me will freeze and enemies will keep moving (unless we're in a fight) usually walking off the middle of the road, all while my character is still able to move around. If I wait, sometimes the game will "come back" to the point of being able to talk with them again. During this "frozen" time I'm unable to teleport to anyone since my BL will be blank, nor am I able to leave that area. This is extremely frustrating and is leaving the game unplayable. I have one of the latest NVidia cards and play on a PC made for gaming, RAM and memory also isn't a problem, nor is it my internet connection since I'm able to play many different MMOs with servers on the other side of the world, and these would be the latest MMOs with heavy graphics. What's the issue? I have friends who are complaining of the same thing, so is this KI's servers?

I've also had some lagging issues, characters moving very jerkily and getting pulled into fights, slow transitions between areas, and general difficulties in game play. The spell choosing countdown often moves so slowly that it will display 10 seconds left but the round will begin.

I think its an internet problem though. It always works my Ice wiz Caleb LotusHaven but gets stuck on my death

I'm testing whether or not it's Windows 10 by reinstalling the game on my old Win 7 laptop. I'll report back if it's both machines or just the Ultrabook - because the jerkiness is getting so annoying I can't play.

Hmmm, almost all of the jerkiness is resolved in Windows 7. (And this machine is an i5, whereas the Win10 box is an i7?)

I still have lag and delay switching rooms, joining battles, any time I get a loading screen though.

Yeah, that does happen a lot. Once in Avalon I was doing a collect quest and then when I ran into the guys, they all seperated and went into the sky or through a mountain. It was really weird. After 30 seconds, I was still standing in the middle and boom, I got pulled in and me and my friend got seperated into 2 different fights. The same thing happened on her screen.

So yeah, I totally agree, it is annoying, hopefully W101 people will see and try to fix it. It has been happening to me since Ultra Summer came out into the live realm. What about everyone else???

At this exact moment I am having trouble with the server. It disconnected me, then I couldn't get back on. It's been twenty minutes, and my wifi's fine. And I've been freezing or getting disconnected out of the blue when the rest of my family's wifi is perfect. I don't get it either!
