I'm sure those around at launch can identify with this.
Remember taking your first few steps, and how it would take a minute to hour to get from point A to point B?
Most, if not all, of us are still running on the same system and same connection speeds as we were at launch. Notice how much faster you can move around now?
If you're moving around better today then you were at launch, and you've made no changes to your system, how can your system be the problem?
Something to think about before you start spending money into system upgrades, and faster connection speeds, to reduce lag and server crashes.
