The crashes aren't as frequent now, and whenever it does happen the map is set back to the map it crashed at, with the same time left as well. Luckily it isn't as big of a problem as it was awhile back..

As for the lag.. I experience that every time I play now it seems, but it might not be the server, but something with rate settings.. Silent mentioned something about it awhile back, I should go find it..

Regardless, I've always had more fun than frustration in ZM. Hopefully it is that way for you as well.
