The length of time, in milliseconds, it takes for the alter aeon game server to respond to a command. A high level of lag is considered an annoyance and hinders playing, anything greater than 500ms is considered notable. Lag can occur for different reasons, it is not necessarily a fault of the game. it may be a fault on the server, the client or anywhere on the route from the server to the client. To view recent server lag type graph 13 <no of lines>. To help protect players from death, the Lag monster will restore players when high levels of lag are detected by the server.

mushz detects lag by sending a command to the server and measuring the time it takes to get the right response, this is likely not an entirely accurate measure of lag especially if commands are stacked.
