is it just me or is it whenever more people get on the servers start to lag up, if so is there any room for improvement on this? Also i got disconnected a few times today.. and of the 7 months of playing DR i've never been disconnected.

Theres been some suggestions along these lines. Do a search for "server / upgrades" and "lagging" and maybe theyll po up or just go down the forum list under suggestions.

One thing that does help though (or at least it helps me it seems after I was told to do so) is to go to Townston 2,3,.. whenever they become available (theyre based on how many players come to each world) and then do your instances from there, bc the server has a different way of sending receiving info from each townston "copy." Im not technical or programming minded, so Im not sure how/if this really works, but it was explained to me and I do it all the time when the world gets "laggy" and it seems to help when I do it. Why else would they have more than one Townston I'm thinking...

ah i'll try it the next time I see masses get on thanks!
