Well I have never really experienced lag in the game. Sometimes say when you click on a screen to open or something like that it may kind of lag for a sec to open it but I've never really experienced bad lag. But I've never played the beta so i dunno what the lag was like.
it was bad, i can tell you that. It was like, you click to go somewhere, no problem. Then you attack some creature and after a minute you find out it wasn't actually there so it disappears. Then you found out you weren't where you thought you were so all of a sudden, your character is moved. The game was basically like this...still kinda fun though...just not worth the price it's at imho :P
I played durring beta 1, and the game's lag is NO WHERE near as bad as it was. I can safely say that even when you're in the bigger cities you wont get as much lag as you would in an undercrowded field back then. Haha

I've started since beta, and I can say that the lag was unbearable during open beta stage. But as time goes by, gravity improves and the servers are more reliable. Rollbacks no longer exist and servers going down are pretty rare. There is almost no lag in all of the servers in iRO. Maybe just a few lag spikes when going to town where theres alot of AFK players such as merchants. (ex: Prontera)
Ya that money we pay to play does go somewhere. As long as your playing on the server of your region and not on a private server, there shouldnt be any lag caused by thier server. Gotta say that cause if you are using Dial-up you will lag no matter what. In open beta I only played at night and never once got close to a city, so I would only lag mildly.
Sometimes I wish that they are forced to roll back only for them to compensate.
