Close your youtube, net browser, etc that uses your internet download speed. Especially pornsites, close those. Trust me it would work. Avoid using dual client as well. Use only one if pissible. Turn off your fog as well by typing /fog

Will do.

WTFast affects your latency, not the lag.

It affects how fast data packets are sent and received, hence it affects ping.

If your ping to the server is around 180- 220ms, that is around ~.2 milliseconds. That means when you press a button(skill), it takes .2 milliseconds to process it. Meaning you normally will fire your skill .2 milliseconds after you press it.(NORMALLY, there are other factors outside of just ping). WTFast reduces that ping a bit, so you can get better response time for your other commands including skills.

Now with lag, if anything else is using your connection at the moment you are playing, no matter how low your ping is, you will lag. If someone is using youtube while you play, you will lag as streaming sites takes a lot of bandwidth. Now, let us add the torrents and downloads as well.

Let us remember RO is an old game, it is not as optimized as other games regarding connection. So it is best to play it with the least possible competition in the network bandwidth to get the best results.

you can also check if one of your programs such as Steam, Garena, Dropbox, anti-virus, etc is updating / downloading / uploading. if yes, stop it.

very well said . yea it really helps to prevent delayed on some cases like spamming, etc.

@LeanKun: if you still having experience in lag try to change to windows classic and lower the resolution(for win7) and close all the effects
