A quick update - the lag reducing efforts are being tested inhouse, and moves along nicely. The main area that is addressed is rubberbanding, synching between client and server and primarily that kind of lag. We have also reduced load on the databases. Login and logoff is also sped up.
Minor areas in 4.5 is the client lag when entering cities (which lag due to data being loaded from your harddrive) and when many avatars are in view. These areas will be better, but the big improvements there will be in 4.6, or later.
Updates in the auction are being done. It is mainly bugfixes and no new functionallity.
The main content part of VU 4.5 is the ability to team up and share loot.
VU 4.5 will come in two parts, with about a week of each other, in the first half of May.
Lag has been pretty bad the last few days. The reason for this is a great influx of new participants. This makes the 4.5 VU even more needed.
Lag Kills! Defeat Lag!
