Is lag still a major issue with the game?

My older computers still lag, the newer ones are mostly ok lag-wise.

However, Maple uses up a LOT of RAM, and leaks and corrupts it constantly. If I leave it on too long (can be hours, can be a couple of days), it's going to crash, no matter what I do (or don't do - I can leave my char afk in a tiny empty map, doesn't matter, the game will still crash). On my main computer it usually develops graphic glitches before it crashes. On one of the others it usually either freezes up (disconnects but the window doesn't close), or closes with a "hacking detected" notice (when there is absolutely nothing open on that computer but maple. No browser, no chat program, nothing). On the third it just closes silently.

Smegas always do a lag spike, and when Maple has eaten up too much of my memory, even buddy/alliance chat does that.

The servers only lag at the tick of midnight, and the Evo/DI server tends to lag on 2x.

All in all, while it's been worse (town lag is mostly gone, thankfully), it's definitely not as smooth an experience as it was 4-6 years ago.
