Ring example senerios on the ring do not allow XP gain, so I may just keep pounding away at the Lag Beast.
Been trying to play on Arispotle server(s) and to me it looks like someone put a wait instruction into the loop.
Decided to do some ping tests. found a large lag between gameforge Germany and France ( 500-700 ms )... still not enough to account for the 2000+ ms ping while ingame.
