Reduce The Lag is a service designed to reduce the latency for several massively multiplayer online games
We bounce your game data via our network of servers before finally sending it onto the real game servers. The result is more stable network communications for your game, with up to a half in latency.
Install RTL and just play, lag free!
No programs to run every time, no usernames and passwords, no game crashes and no overloaded servers. Once RTL is installed you never need to think about it again. Just open World of Warcraft (Wow), Aion, Tibia, Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) or Tera, and play lag free.
Both the RTL client and our server software has been custom written for the task.
Utilizing geodns server allocation with automatic load balancing and failover of over 40 servers you will never have to worry about which server has the best lag and least load for you.
Why is low latency important?
Online games are designed to be fun, entertaining, and to look great!
Unfortunately the net code is often given a back seat and the designers simply don’t have as much experience with online networks.
The effects of this are not normally noticed because the game is written, tested, and played by gamers usually less than a few hours away. Every spell they cast, every action they take, every little thing they do gets to the game servers faster than 1/10th the blink of an eye.
For players further away this delay can become a full half second!
We’ve been significantly disadvantaged.
By reducing your latency with Reduce The Lag (RTL) you can even the odds. Every action gets to the game servers almost twice as quick! Attacking, Casting, Moving, Jumping, Looting, Dueling … every action!
With a heap of servers, private networks and employees proficient in network programming at our disposal, we decided we should do something about it.
We are confident you will be very impressed with our solution.
Mar 17 2023 – Hosting and server changes today. Please let us know if anything isn’t working correctly!
Dec 2 2021 – Aion and Aion Classic should now be working again. There was a change in the latest patch that we needed to adjust for. Sorry for the interruption.
You will need to restart or reinstall the RTL client so that it downloads the new game configuration.
Please let us know if you experience any further issues.
Jun 24 2021 – Aion CLASSIC US is ready to go.
We’re monitoring our servers pretty closely, but so far the two load balancers appear to be splitting the load amongst the servers quite nicely.
But please let us know if you experience any difficulties.
Nov 12 2020 – Our Aion US configuration has been updated to use our East Coast US network.
Reminder to restart or just reinstall RTL over the top to force it to update the configuration.
Please let us know if you experience any problems.
Apr 16 2020 – We’ve discovered that both of our Black Desert Online South American profiles were corrupted last week (Sat 11th) after a configuration change we made. The result would have been greatly increased latency, much worse than playing without RTL.
The configuration has been fixed and the RTL client should automatically download the new configuration within about 24-48 hours. If you’d like to force RTL to download the configuration earlier you can reinstall RTL or simply hit the save button on our members page.
