Character Pause ?Bug?

one every few seconds my character would do somthing weird. while walking it woulds slow then stop even when i hold my arrow key down after a second or two it would start to move again

this happens in battles too. while i am fighting the creature would just suddenly stop attacking me and i would stop attacking them and if i have a spell working it would just have the look of casting but the character does nothing.

is this problem common cause it really string to annoy me is it just my comp, the internet or is it a bug in the game???

We need more information then this.

etc.

P4 1.7ghz
Radeon 7000 64mb
512 ram
dsl internet connection

i think it might be the vid card since its so outdated

It's lag.

It's straight up lag.
Take it from a 56K user...

Moments when you start to slow down and "slug walk" or you're fighting something and suddenly, you and the enemy just stands there, it's lag...

tks a lot its really annoying and weird cuz i have a decently fast internet connection... DSL but my dad is going to change to cable pretty soon
