Lag sometimes suck in Warhammer online

Okay so I am playing this game called Warhammer Online. It is a game where you play either Order (good guys) or Chaos (bad guys) and go do quest quests and/or fight other players in scenarios for renown and experience points. You can play with and against people from around the world. I think it is the greatest game to come out in 2008. What I like about the game the most is the scenarios. It is called realm verses realm (rvr) fighting. This is where you are put into a certain place where order characters fight against chaos characters. There is a little more to it, but fuck it you get the picture.
Well, I seem to have some problems at times while fighting in rvr. I seem to have some lag while I fight other players in these scenarios. When there is a lot of players bunched up in a small area, my game starts to lag and turns into a slide show event for me. I call this the Power Point Slide WAR event. I will give you an example with my Witch Hunter I play.
Slide 1: My Rapier is in the belly of some Orc.
Slide 2: me smiling as I hit him over the head with my pistol.
Slide 3: Orc has his sword raised in air.
(Long freeze on the screen)
Slide 4: me on ground dead and Orc laughing.
Slide 5: Orc is squatting with his ass above my head. (he has this grunting look on his face)
Slide 6: there is a large log of Orc shit wrapped around my head. And a smile on Orc’s face.
Slide 7: Orc standing over my body now. He is pointing and laughing at me.
Slide 8: (still dead on ground. I did not resurrect yet). Orc is still standing over my body, but this time there seems to be a stream of liquid coming from his lower section and landing on my body.
Slide 9: Orc pointing and laughing at me again.
(30 seconds to 5 DAYS LATER!!!)
Slide 10:I am resurrected and running back into the Frey.
This pisses me off when this shit happens to me. Lag really sucks!

Note: Warhammer online does not show any Orcs shitting or pissing on their opponents. This is just an over dramatic, humorous, and fictional viewpoint on my end.
