It's not just you. I had a fair bit of lag today. Playing HC ofcourse. 
LoL!.. I had to keep jumping out of my games so as not to die. It's so much 
fun running around with the HC though.. You're so much more cautious. I'm 
upto Act3 Hell now with my level 80 Trapper. Thanks to Arty i've got my 1st 
Traps GC. He told me he didn't want anything for it but i had to give him 
something. Snowclash was in my stash. Not sure how that bares up as a trade 
but i threw it to him anyways. ;-) Thanx again Art. Jay, you should come to 
the Dark side. ;-)
