The incessant lag monster...
Well, it can be net lag - somewhere along the line, there's a computer who's just not happy at the moment. Maybe someone's trying to shut down Yahoo again. Maybe there's a power outage. Who knows.
And it can be just the game. Right now, because the ticks seem to be really slow, too, I'm guessing it's the game. Some bug or bad playerfile somewhere is consuming all the machine's resources, leaving it with hardly anything to actually run the game. Usually, the mud would crash by now. I've been rather hoping it would, since I was just pk'd. But oh well. Instead, it's just making me think that I'm going to die to a mob if I try to reequip with this lag. Eh.
