[cillia]

well for me, i have horrid lag, and when they made the new part of the map, it seemed to decrease the amount of people in 1 spot, which really helps me.

For instance: when i had just downloaded the patch and ported to roumen, i thought the server had gone down or something becuz there weren't any ppl around the upper part of roumen... i could actually see the whole running cycle... >.>
i think the new area helps reduce lag...
