The problem with the lag is not the connections or the computer, its the way Graal was scripted. Let me give you an example. Everytime you see somthing new and somtimes old on Kingdoms, the server downloads the image onto your computer. This constant dwnloading is causing the lag you get evertime you go to a new level. If you don't believe me, walk around the main island. Kill some badies too, that will help the explanation. Now, after about 10 minutes, hit F2. Let me tell you what you will see:

File download: human2_handspell_charge.gani (size: 2710) done
File download: human2_brush_use.gani (size: 13764) done
File download: human2_axe_pullout.gani (size: 5017) done
File download: human2_pickaxe_pullout.gani (size: 5011) done

Basically, you will see tons of those. Now think to yourself. Those files are being downloaded to YOUR hard drive. This is causing lag on your hard drive. If this game was scripted better, it would not download the files to your computer. They would be set on the server.

I am not questioning how good Stefan is, all I am saying is that the way Graal was scripted is pretty unprofessional. I shall still play Kingdoms though.
