hello! im new to iRO, and i'm lagging!
my connection is solid; i had reconfigured the router on the suspicion that it was messing with me, but to no avail. i can't use potions properly, my movement/character's reaction-time to my keypress input is quite slow and VERY unreliable (sometimes i have to furiously tap on a cell to get my char to move there, a few times a minute). happens on all maps.
here's a tracert!

How do I resolve this? Thank you in advance for your help!
EDIT: I live in Ottawa, ON. On the east-coast of Canada. I've been told the server is in California, and that the packets that are being lost in translation are beyond my control. But, surely, there are east-coast NA/Canadian players who are able to play without a hitch. So my question stands!
EDIT: i've tried following these instructions--http://forums.irowik...hp?t=19534--but my copy of XP doesn't even have message queueing service, in spite of the fact that it's SP3 >
