I tested the new stuff today. Cool stuff. I played some SC and was dying ALOT more then normal. Then I noticed large amounts of lag. there were times when the server would lag for 10 seconds at a time. I would litterly take 5-10k damage at one time and there was nothing I could do about it. This has to be fixed asap.

One word:
Alpha
One proposition:
Let us donate for a server, if needsbe. I'd be happy to donate something if it meant less lag!

I think they said before: It's a software-problem not a server-problem.

Well, i'm not a pro, but i'll explain what makes a problem.
As Druin said, it is a software problem. The core of the emulator isn't optimized, and can't manages infos corectly if too much players make actions in the same area.
Why isn't it optimized? Well, WAR-EMU is a quite old project, started many years ago, closed, reopened, reclosed, reopened.... etcetc. All teams have bringed his stones to the project, but none has modified the initial core, because none before makes it running with so much player than now, with so many functionnalities.
More informations to manage, more lag generated. If the word multithreading talks to you, you will understand the cause of the problem.
Anyway, some dev of the staff are working on this major problem, but you have to be aware that this part of the emu is like his heart, and replacing a heart, isn't an simple thing. It is hard and ask to be skilled.
So please, be patient, we all know that the gameplay is ruined by this problem. If you are skilled enough to help, feel free to PM devs ( not me, i don't understand a word of what devs tell me...
).

Be cool, changes are being made with a bit of stability issue as a result. The stability will probably be fixed. The devs are doing a really good job.

can't we donate money to fund a fulltime-freelancer-developer for one month to fix the core-server-code?
