Dyril... Did you even read the UO's stuff on UO:KR? You'll find a lot of answers there=)

Not played UO since early January, so I wouldn't know. I say uninstall that-which-must-not-be-named and pour holy water onto the computer. That should solve it.

UO usually appears laggier than newer games, thus can be for several reasons.

A lot of the 3D games don't appear as laggy but that can be because you don't immediately notice the lag i.e you could be disconnected suddenly but can still 'move around' for a few seconds before you notice the connection has stopped.

Your bank box/inventory can make you laggy if there's a lot of stuff in them.  The bank box is actually just like the inventory - you carry it around with you, the big difference is that it can only be accessed in certain area (i.e the bank obviously).

UO is very dynamic.  WoW and the like are generally very 'empty' games, as in a tree is just a graphical blob.  In UO trees, rocks etc contain 'properties' i.e each tree contains a variable determining if lumber can be harvested.  I think this also adds to the lag, not sure though.

Old network code.  Sadly, the 2D engine is 10 years old.  Hopefully the new engine will have optimised code.

good points garak, I had forgot about the complexities.... and Im not being Facisious.

UO may have a very VERY out of date graphics engine and codding system but it contains a depth not found in many games today... and i think thats why ive been at it for sooo darned long.. that and frequent mont hlong breaks in which i dont place at all... im going on about 3 months now .. well I've been logged in once and a while here and there but not for long.
