What Lurks Beneath Lag

I decided to make a new pirate to see all the changes in the game. I made a new witchdoctor and began my journey. I did fine with everything in the game up until the quest What Lurks Beneath-Defeat Haku. That's where it began lagging very badly. It's so bad, that I'm lucky if my pirate gets to take one turn out of 5. I tried to record it but didn't have much luck with doing that(my end). I thought, perhaps its my computer, so I did some fine tuning of my computer and that didn't help. I thought, maybe its this particular pirate, so I grabbed my level 68 Witchdoctor and the same thing happened.

What server/realm were you on? I've found that crowded/busy realms generally have the worst lag. Try changing realms to a less busy realm.

Some other things to try.

Empty the cache on all Browsers.

Delete all files in the temporary internet files folder.

Scan your Registry for problems (this may take buying a special program).
Compact your Registry.

Remove all Cookies for sites that you don't use in Browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc

Restart your computer and it should run faster (especially after deleting the unneeded Cookies).

I always go on Perfect realms and I tried from several different realms. The realms I play on, I'm lucky if I find another pirate wandering about.

Foe me the only time it ever skips a turn of mine is when I apply fog, annoyingly often it skips my turn and I become defenseless.
