I would suggest running a virus scan on your computer. Obsidian can usually run lag free and very well on even medium to low end computers and internet connections. If your game is slowing down that much, it sounds like there is something eating your memory and/or bandwidth. If that does not work, try running a trace route using a program called “UO traceâ€. If you use that program, use
www.obsidianshard.com as the destination. If you notice any major packet loss between your computer and Obsidian, please let me know, and we can work from there.
