Casting abilities of Druid and Mage are lagging

Ok, this is my first post, and I hope its in the right place. I am new to RoM but I am sure what I am experienceing is not good. I created a Druid to start since I like playing healers. Now I can move around in the game fine, no lag at all. But when I attempt to cast a spell, the lag is tremendous. I can wait anywhere from 30 seconds to a full 2 minutes for the spell to be cast. I created a mage second an its the same way with that character. Is this common place? Is it server related of game related? And most of all, how can I fix this?

To check if it's a server issue, we would need to know your server, though it probably isn't server side. If your server is reni, it could be possible that it was server related since reni was having issues last night.

Can you check your ping and fps when you cast a spell? To check, press ctrl + x, which will bring up some yellow text around the chat log.

Try hiding spell effects in the options menu, can't remember exactly where it is , hopefully someone else can point you to it.

Ok I will try hiding spell effects. Just so everyone knows, I have dropped the res down to 800x600 and using low settings on all other options. As far as server, I don't believe its that, I have tried different servers with the same outcome. The main server I use is Midir. I also tried Ridire and Draiochta and as stated with the same issues. Now I am not a technical wizard by any means, I do know my way around pcs. I play other mmorps, 2 from Gameforge Aion and Tera an have no problem with them, even running those full res and full graphics, so I seriously doubt this is on my end. But I will try as you say and see if that helps. I will post again with my findings. Thanks for your help.


P.S.: I looked all over for a way to hide spell effects, but found nothing. Everything is turned either low or off. I have done everything I can think of, all my drivers are updated, nothing running in the background. Maybe for some reason I just cant play this game on this pc. Too bad really, looks like a wonderful game, but I wouldn't survive one second in a real battle. I would be dead before I could cast one spell.

There's a way to hide the effects of other people, but not one for self effects that I know of.

Also, did you know you're posting in the US boards?

Ah, the Italian, Spanish and German servers?

If you want to play on a European English-speaking server, you might want to try Siochain, Isiltir, Smacht or Macantacht.

If you want to play on a US server, you will have to re-register your game account on the US website.

Yes ah know ah am posting on the US boards, because I am living in the US, hehehehe. I tried downloadin the game from the US server, and after 3 days of getting nowhere, I finally broke down an got it from the UK server. Is this where my problem is comming from? Do I need to download the whole thing again from the US server? Or will just registering my account on the US server do the trick?

Your ping will be higher than what it would be on a US server due to you having to connect from the US to the EU servers in... well... the EU. You can register for a new US RoM account from http://us.runesofmagic.gameforge.com/user/register, though you'll need to use a different email than the one you used for the EU account. To change the client to the US servers, on the main RoM client (the one that opens after you start RoM from the GF Live client), there will be three buttons in the bottom left corner. You will need to click on the one that says "Region/Language" and select the Region: USA and Language: English or Spanish.

No, you do not need to reinstall. The clients are no different.

As Heron said, you won't need to redownload--the game client is the same for EU--US--AU. However, in order to register a US account, you will need to use a completely different email account with the US game account. I'd think that the one you have for your US forum account would do quite nicely.

And before you ask, no, you cannot transfer your EU account and characters to the US.
