 Great, just what this big ball of graphical lag game needs, more intense graphics.

Its not the graphics that lag the game. Its the server code that cant handle 100+ people in the same place.
You can have the best computer in the world and have all the graphics at low and it will still lag to shit in big fights.

This isn't true, alright you're half right I'll give you that.  There are problems with the GFX engine when it comes to large scale battles and it's easy to see it happen if you know what to look for.  I don't disagree with there being other issues adding to the problem though.

I never had one lag issue or DC problem or anything like that in my entire WAR experience and I played on both of the high population servers'; order on one and desto on the other and had two lvl 40s on each side so i put some time in. People that complain must be running the game on old laptops or something...the graphics were not so great so its very nice to see the improvements here. But the reason I left the game still hasnt changed, people at end game will still rather fortress farm than have some decent pvp combat. The only reason i left the game was because of the farm trains and that is it....nothing to do with lag and i dont believe i remember anyone complaining about lag either.

Then you must have not heard them because the biggest complaint about this game is lag. Lag in fortresses, lag in mass scale pvp, getting stuck on bushes and rocks. And it goes on and on.

And I have a top end PC and still got 5FPS in fortresses with 1 spell going off every 10 seconds.
