Things that Seem to Help Lag
This section is for simple solutions that you have noticed seem to stop/lessen the effects of lag.

To start the list off here are three:


 * 1) More RAM usally helps.
 * 2) I have found Free Ram Optimizer to help. (Note that Guildwiki neither supports or recommends this product at this time.)
 * 3) On the Guild Wars shortcut.
 * Right Click. Select Properties
 * Go to Shortcut Tab
 * Where it says target at the end of that type -image
 * Run Guild Wars (Note it will have to decompress all the files.)


 * Those are not latency related really, ram issues are computer related and do not effect the latency of a connection. The -images does not directly improve the connection speed of your connection, it only reduces what files are required to download before you go into an area and not the time it takes to send data. -- Xeon 06:34, 5 January 2007 (CST)
 * Indeed. Reducing latency basically just involves mucking around with network and firewall settings, jumping ISPs, maybe changing a driver. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 06:48, 5 January 2007 (CST)

/jump
This is not listed in the commands article, where did you find it? Very useful I might add, I need a command like this >< Entropy 03:48, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * Emotes <- its an emote, all emotes ask the server for a re-sync. jump is just easy to remember Xeon 07:30, 26 December 2006 (CST)

Lightning bolt
Didn't it use to mean that you were downloading something, before the little round dot came in? ~Seef II 03:18, 21 January 2007 (CST) Yeah... i think its like you said because I don´t get a DC when havong the bolt..--Krushak 06:00, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Crazy High Ping
I just got a huge lag spike. Here's Proof:

Illogical solution?
On the solution that says move closer to the server, wouldn't you have to completly move where you live costing a person probably thousands of dollars for a game..? I think thats a retarded solution.. --Kabraxis 01:52, 6 February 2007 (CST)
