How to minimize lag

First off, lag can be based on your computer or the game itself. Sometimes it helps if you close your chat box because there are a lot of penya spammers. Or you can /ignore and their name to get rid of them for the time being. Make sure to turn all of your effects off and your video options to low. Also, when playing make sure you don't run too many programs or your CPU will exceed its limits. I usually run multiple Flyffs and Firefox at the same time. And most of the time it could just be the game itself that lags you. This usually happens when the server is overpopulated and there are too many people in one spot. Plus you can play in windows mode (800x600). This also helps a lot and you can alt+tab to another window quickly.You can also hold down ctrl and press F to see your FPS.It should show in light blue under your character box. The higher the better!
