Something I noticed

The lag doesn't exactly start when the population is increasing or peaking, it starts at around 6 am server time. Even at 8k population, I had, and others, 3 second delay which almost felt worse than when it was 12k, and the view distance was at an atrocious 15 yards. 15 yards! I will again repeat that I checked if it was my connection and talked to guildies/general chat. So, this maybe is because bad connections and VPNs really do have an affect on the server? I would like to have discussion on the banning of VPNs and connections over 300ms (basically kicking someone out of the server if htey have a consistant ping of 300+ for 1 minute or more). It seems like the only viable and fair option at this point.
