I opened the task manager and saw that cpu usage was maxxed. Flatlined at 100%.
I run chrome on my desktop and my laptop. The problem was first noticed on the desktop.
I started the game on the laptop and ran task on it. Cpu usage was at 60%.
I then ran the game on explorer. Cpu usage was at 1%-3% with spikes for events.
As I type this I am updating explorer on the desktop to check performance.
I haven't run it on other browsers.

Yes, my desktop sucks. My laptop has more memory but a slower cpu. (both are celeron. (yes I need better))
That doesn't explain why chrome was max cpu usage though.

Are there any other players that have noticed slow gameplay? Erratic display of combat?
I talked to a guildy with the same issue. I am wondering if it's isolated or if it is more widespread and needs fixed soon.

Flash, Shockwave and Java games and apps all use a TON of RAM. I have a newer ( 6 month old) PC with a good AMD processor. And yeah, still have incredible lag on the game. Some of that is due to me generating fractal for a living while playing the game. Some has to do with playing on Chrome, which is a RAM hog too. IE does seem yo run the smoothest for the game, but crashes consistently if I am running a fractal generator or 2. And since I generate fractals to make money, I am ALWAYS running a fractal generator or 2. 24/7. RAM is maxed out on my PC and my laptop. I'd play from the laptop exclusively, but the small screen size and the fact that the little bugger gets HOT keeps me from doing that.

It's a combination of RAM, CPU useage and type, and the UBER low bandwidth servers Tynon uses getting overloaded when events are on.
