As suggested by a moderator, I am reopening the thread here. Please post your experiences. It would be useful if you experienced and mastered the change from 50ms to 200ms or from 140ms to 250ms, or from 150 to 450-600!
Please read this carefully, and stay on topic (which is, have a large lag, huge lagspikes, posting your latency, and demanding to get our servers back).
Relocation of the servers back to Europe is really necessary for us to experience PVP in the game. One cannot land combos effectively on someone accelerated or hastened, that is visually teleporting on our screens today. I am speaking about the part of the population that got over 220ms in lag.
Please, people with pings over 200, share your experience!
All I see now is teleporting, CCing out of animations, and people acting strangely. My hits land after 200-300ms, and the chat is lagged by 420-600ms.
PVP population is bleeding really fast with the clumsy move from the integration. We need to bandage the wound now with our advice!
------
My experience: I have to predict the movement of a person now, and whenever he teleports to a certain spot I am ready with a CC there; thus stunning him and only then being able to land some hits.
Always feat the largest AoE damage and AoE CCs: you cannot do much with small-area or cone abilities now unless you are in luck.
Prepare morally to obtain more deaths: this is inevitable until Funcom purchases a server again in Europe!

Tips to reduce latency: try to change your ISP to the one without VPN or router (crazy!), buy a faster PC (I have 320ms lag instead of 250ms on a slower PC!), disable antiviruses during playing, play in the morning only, do not keep extra applications open on the background, and do not download anything else in the background.
