Everyone is getting this, it was noticed mainly after the bot nuke happened. The problem is the game engine itself, this thread might help you: http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/forums.ws?25,26,187,63506974 Updating to the latest version of Java for your bit type OS is a good start to trying to reduce lag, try knocking off idle animations and updating to the latest video card drivers if you haven't already. It's down to Jagex to fix the problem so all we can do is wait to be honest.
