I have given up fighting with the lag...we are talking about clicking an attack icon and nothing happening for 5 seconds or longer. And this is constantly. I get excellent fps (100-150) and my connection (12MB dl) is fine with every thing else. What is frustrating is that I guess it is very hit or miss. Some say they have absolutely no lag at all, while others cant even play the game. I have tried different servers and changes channels...but, nothing can stop the lag. Maybe by open beta it will be better?

I had very litte lag problems, the entire weekend.

Are you on vista? There's a known problem that .net installs itself "twice" and causes all kinds of problems. I had to uninstall and reinstall it a few times in order for that part to work. Was getting horrible download times for Aion before that.

Cause honestly - I have no problems and I played a LOT this weekend. Maybe... 2-3 instances total.... 

Onky experienced a little lag last night but that was it. I am on Vista (32) home edition and playing on my Dell M1730 Laptop. Looks and play wonderfully.

Had this ever since the first CB event. Seemed to be a constant issue with many although just as many have zero issues. Moved on to EVE myself and will not be revisiting but I wish you guys luck and hope they work all this out.

I dont know if your problem could be related to mine but I was getting about a 3-5 second bit of lag during each fight and it had me concerned about being able to play in the future.  That amount of lag in a pvp game would just mean constant frustration.  I have a very high end gaming rig and though my 6mb DSL is certainly not the best it has never really been an issue before.  Anyway, I happened to be doing some home remodeling and moved my computer to another room till things are finished.  Before this, I was always running over a wireless-n connection but the room I moved to had everything hard wired.  Booted up and started playing CB6.  Surprisingly, after about 5 hours of play not a single bit of lag.  My wireless connection was only about 25-30 ft away so didnt expect there to be a big issue with a wireless N but apparently it is.

I didn't play this weekend, but I was having lag on previous events.  NC softs other game, Lineage 2, has been having lag problems too (I had to unsubscribe finally).  So it seems NC soft is still passing the buck saying its the ISP and not their problem.  But it only effects their games, so go figure.

I had some lag on Friday night, but I logged and rebooted my computer.... didn't have anything noticeable after that except two times where it appeared that a group member ran ahead of us, but was standing right next to me the entire time.   That musta been a bit of lag too.

Other than that... great beta weekend!

No lag, rock solid.

I did, very persistent lag and boring linear questing made me quit before getting to pvp lvls. rush to lvl to get it wiped is not fun, so lets wait for an very long open beta so we can better judge this game =D

I didn't have any lag yesterday, it ran smoothly on Isaphel (I think that's the server name) and the pop was listed as High.

I haven't played today, and I don't think I'll play again until launch, don't want to get burned out... The game is ready, no need for further testing, just want them to launch the damn thing. :)

Me too... thankfully.

I see a lot of folks are having major lag issues. i am glad that i was able to play with everything max'd and great frame rates as well as no lag what so ever.

I hope they get things straightened out for as many players as possible.

Some lag is to be expected on a beta event. I had some lag spikes going on first thing on Friday but nothing after that.

<raises hand>

Just logged off about 10min ago with the same problem. Aion is unplayable. Should I cancel my CE?

I dont know what you talking about. Im on Siel sever(which is ht emost populated) and im not getting any lag at all. Where are you going that you get lag

I play on Siel as well and there isn't a sign of lag on it. Firstday lag is to be expected, I mean you have thousands of people logging in all at once.

Same here, I haven't ran into any lag at all on Siel. Huge amounts of ppl on last nite without any problems I noticed. I hope it stays rock solid during launch. Games usually don't recover from a poor launch.

Same lag here but only in this CB so I'm almost positive I know what the issue is.  Nothing on my machine has changed from the last CB and I still get 70+fps like others have posted so it's nothing to do with drivers etc.  The one thing that has changed since last CB for me was I switched from Mediacom cable modem to a local coop DSL service.  It's a 5mb down service and rock solid with every other game.  I've tried Wow, R6, WIC and Supcom and all are good.  This leads me to believe that my DSL provider has a bad hop on the way to Aion's servers probably from a leased circuit from AT&T or Comcast since they have been the root of others' problems.  Unfortunately this isn't too uncommon but nonetheless very annoying.  

I haven't seen lag of any kind this weekend.  I've been playing on Siel and it's been rock steady.  The only thing I've run into, is the game will sometimes freeze for about 5 seconds and then pick back up.

Haven't formed an opinion wether to play aion or not but can honestly say i've never had any lag since i started to play beta (cb3 and forward) so  surprised ppl got lags :o

I wonder if it's Video Card related.  I was on a vent server with some friends and one person has a fairly old video card and was not getting the best performance.  Once the person tooled the settings down a bit it worked 100% better.
