The lag you experience in those situations is (likely) a DDoS attack, a targeted attack against our servers with the intent to lag the server by clogging the pipes. We've had a large number of those attacks, particularly during peak play times, and they can cause people to disconnect, or not be able to use commands or spells in game.

Server pipeline is big enough to support far, far more than what we have now. 1100 shouldn't even be making it sweat.
