It's happening more and more often to me too. Especially when I try to relog under another character, or when I click teleport at the GK. The worst time it happened while I was getting attacked by a stupid pker who was low lvl. I could of killed him easily, but the [censored] game crashed and when I restarted it, I was dead :(. It has gotten so much worse lately. I never had crashes, ever!!! Then C4 comes, my skills take forever to execute, even pots don't work as fast. Not to mention ss.... I dont know what's up with this, but I'm getting pretty sick of the message when the game crashes, and you can't even submit it as a bug cause there's no option for it, or no reason as to why it crashed. Just a stupid message that L2 had to close cause it encountered an error.
The crashes were server crashes, whole game went down.
Game crashed, 5 mins later online again...then crashed 10mins later...came up...crashed again...
Also since C4 ive had huge lag problems but today it was the server that crashed, wasnt just me.
At first I thought it was places like Giran and Dion, but even abandoned TI is laggy now. I don't understand why. These 64 bit servers are supposed to be a lot better...
as far as individual lag and crashes, its probably your geforce card. Lineage 2 has HORRIBLE support for the newer deforce cards and drivers. I myself have a problem with the shader. If i turn shadows off it gets alot better and I don't crash nearly as much.
Me and every single one of my friends who has a card better then a geforce 4 get random lag and crashes while using the shader. Meanwhile all my friends who have ATI cards play flawlessly.
As far as server crashes.........you want less crashes kill the bots....thats NCsofts fault there.

i donthave lag anywhere, try adjusting your video settings to a lower level if you are having problems, this lag you speak of is your computer not being able to handle the graphics...not server lag.
do you have ANY idea how much extra work your computer needs to do to draw shadows in a game ? its not suport for the drivers its your computer can not handle drawing shadows while running lineage 2
