If you were directing that at me, you are mistaken. Read my post - it is entirely about internet traffic along routes between a client and server, and has no mention whatsoever about game lag due to servers being overloaded.
Yes, the mail system and other internal gaming systems on the servers will get bogged down only if the server itself is bogged down, which indeed has nothing to do with internet traffic. I didn't raise this point, nor did I argue it. In fact, I ignored it, for the sake of clarity. :P Oh, irony, how I love you...
If you weren't directing that at me, however... Well, you technically replied to ME, so that leads me to believe you are directing the post at me. In which case I say again, I certainly wasn't confusing the issue. ;) On a side note, it still amazes me how people choose linear view over threaded view in a discussion forum. I guess it goes back to some basic way our brains function, eh? :P I need my threaded view! :D
