Why does the elder scrolls online lag?

Ahem.

I have considered this question deeply, and I think that the problem lies with our concepts of time. The Elder Scrolls Online is played in real-time. We humans are not accustomed to perceiving 'real time' as actual time; we instead perceive it as a form of media more similar to written text or an audio recording.

Time is like a series of large books with pictures and words on how to make things. We can open them up, read about some things, and then close the book again. Time works differently for us humans; if we were able to see time objectively as it really was, we'd be able to perceive all of its aspects simultaneously.

I think that the lag in Elder Scrolls Online is a product of our concept of time as an illusion. The human perception of 'real-time' and how it applies to Elder Scrolls Online creates the lag.
If you look at the lag from an objective perspective, it is simply a product of our perception of time.

Of course, this is all just my opinion. I am not claiming to be the authority on lag.

    If you got some time, take a look at this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Doesn't really help with lag, but it's some weird and awesome stuff.

    It's not a matter of choice. Time passing is an intrinsic part of life, just as much as it is inescapable that the human body must die one day.

    Time is a property of the universe, like mass or energy. It doesn't care about what humans think and neither should we.

    Time is merely an illusion of the human mind to make sense of life. It's a measurement used to quantify process, just like any other physical or scientific measure.

    Time dilation happens all the time and is a natural phenomenon. It has existed since the creation of the universe itself, thousands of years before humans came into existence.

    It is defined as the difference in the passage of time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational field.

    In the case of time dilation, it is caused by gravitational fields and the speed at which objects move.
