Laggy Game Performance

[melodizing]

I have it, and I don't know what to do about it.

If there are more than ten people surrounding me, the game lags. If there are more than ten people around me and they're all moving, the game lags even more. If there are a minimum of five people in an area attacking enemies (such as in Fort Charles), my game lags horribly. Not to mention when I'm in Abassa, it takes my pirate more than thirty seconds just to take a single step.

I have asked numerous people about this, and they tell me to get a better graphics card, but yesterday when I e-mailed the PotCO crew about my invisible undead invasion army, they told me that if I have a wireless internet connection, which I do, rather than an Ethernet cable, I should find an Ethernet cable and directly connect it to the wireless router. Apparently it takes away game lag and gives better performance.

Now, I'm just down right confused. Any pointers?
