    But, I got on my other character which is in my empty guild, which btw I'm bringing back now, and I experienced little to no lag.

    It's simple, the more names in your list(s), the more does the system have to load for you.
    This really sucks especially when you are in a quick remake trip and have to wait 1 or 2 minutes before you can actually run .


    How many friends do you have?

    How huge is your guild (Name and how many members)?

    What I mean is The more pending Friend Requests / Friends / Guild members in the list , the more lag.

In general, this works out pretty well, but, like a lot of things in life, there are those few edge cases. You know, the guy that sends friend requests to anyone he sees and has like 6,000 friends. Or, the silly developer (me in this case) who accepts any friend requests (cause I you all!) and winds up with even more friends.

    This becomes a problem when the list size is soooo huge that when trying to access it (like open your Friend's List) it basically lags your game out. Even worse is the huge Guild List - trying to open it becomes a problem and using it is even worse.

    With other words the more names in your list(s), the more does the system have to load for you.

    Maybe I will start another thread with way better explanations sometime.

    My solution: Either clean out your friend list, only keep those whom you actually spoke with and leave the huge guild and join a tinier with less members.
