Don't get your hopes too high, tomorrow we shall have the next maintenance for CW. Moving towards daily maintenance now. 
To those who suggest Wartune is fine and the problem lies in your PC and internet connection - if a PC ranking among Top 5 for performance and with daily international upload to US, China, Russia, Europe, Australia, etc. of 500 GB at least has lag with Wartune, it means either no PC on Earth is good enough for this game, or you are deranged and the issue is server-side not client-side. Like the small problem with using Flash that is well known to be the worst performing platform in terms of memory management and not allowing adequate graphics scaling - something that has forced practically all developers to move away from it, and in fact even some contemporary browsers do not allow Flash applications.
To those who suggest the issues can be resolved by removing your guardian (eudaemon), since it is "fake BR only", let me note that a strategy game allows you to use such companions to substantially enhance your main ton's performance and in fact with good planning you can make your guardian around 60-80% as efficient as your main toon (soul engraving, cards, mounts, clothing are the things that actually make a main toon stronger than the equivalent eudaemon). I understand that for some players this game is pure hack'n'slash and requires zero thinking, and they may well be better off playing without Eudaemons, however telling someone he MUST NOT USE 50% OR MORE of the stuff he has acquired to have the game even remotely playable means you are trying to resolve the problem by telling him to move to Wartune 1.0 servers where the stuff was simply NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL. Because if you cannot use something in all the instances where it is beneficial, than said something is of zero value to you - and then why have it at all?
And yes, lag can be a huge issue. In Arena or BG I do not really enjoy having my opponent do 3 full attacks on me and turn to sylph before I am allowed to even move. Having such distortions means that some players are penalized and others are boosted while having absolutely the same builds. That is a very major problem, especially since I saw it also replicated in last CW. It means that for some players any and all PVP events are unplayable.
So let us state clearly - Wartune has very serious issues due to non-optimized coding, memory leaks and poor PVP matching, as well as cutting off some content that was made available in China (VIP section of shop and the peer-to-peer trading system have been of substantial benefit to all players there, making the game more enjoyable and allowing much faster development). Until and unless those issues are resolved, new content is fine and good but mostly unplayable.

AGREED, and great points on all avenues of game you touched upon
