So sometimes my game lags, and today it's particularly bad. It's hard for me to see what others are doing since it so often looks like they're not moving, and it seems to last a long time. I think I'll just have to give up for now.

If this happens in the future, you might see my deer acting strangely, reacting slowly or not at all, stop moving for a while, appear to be stuck in an animation loop (like running in place), or appearing to "teleport" from one place to another.

I don't know why this is happening now, considering I never used to have problems with lag except when in huge groups. I also seem to have more connection problems than I remember having in the past. I don't know if those are related or not.

Additionally, I've had some odd glitches that I never used to have. Sometimes I see deer without their set, or missing part of their set. It seems to be fixed if I (or presumably someone else) cast a spell on them and then they sneeze it off (so if my deer randomly casts a spell on yours, I might be trying to fix that glitch, though in some cases it might also be a form of play).

One time I saw someone with my picto, and the default pelt, but still had the skull mask and noh antlers, and their correct picto was on the map. Today I just had someone show up as nameless--they appeared to have the entire default set as well as my picto, while the map showed the correct picto. So, again, my deer might act strangely if this happens, and it's another reason I might randomly cast a spell (to check if what I see as a nameless is really a nameless, especially since the map isn't always right).
