Upgrade Server?

You people have to remember a lot of the lag is from the Ragnarok Online client itself. It's really badly coded. There's no buffering of sound effects, every time a sound is played it has to be read off the filesystem, and that's slow.

Try turning of sound effects, you'll probably notice an improvement.

Killing a mob with claymore trap is upwards of 100 individual hits. That's the same file read 100+ times, played 100+ times and a huge bundle of client-side lag. It disappears with sound effects off.
