Why is online so mindblisteringly slow?
An offline game that'd take me 3 hours would take me at least 10 online. I'm not even joking. What's up with that?
If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

It's not even server lag, just the game itself is much slower online, every action needs several seconds to be executed, auto-exploring takes minutes, as does casting or attacking or just anyhing else for that matter.

The lag in the browser can become much more significant than the lag from the server. To fix this you have to keep refreshing the browser.
Or, you can play via console and spectate your own game, which lets you play exactly as if you were in webtiles, while allowing you to see exactly how much browser lag there is (the delay between when the console updates and when your browser updates will be noticeable). That also lets you refresh the browser without having to boot any spectators.
