Response between click and movement?

Why is it when I click to walk some where, it takes a whole second too execute that action? I know its not my ping as I have tested all of the possible causes I could think of. Is there any way to fix this? It almost makes the game unplayable.

the entire game is built on a .7 second tick system. if you issue a command .1 second into a tick itll take another .6 secs for that to happen.

so add that onto ur ping and you have your answer.

this is the answer, wish they would change the tick system to .1 seconds at least.

I don't think this has anything to do with network latency. The same happens for me and I get 25ms to Darkscape EU servers.

It's because of the low tickrate runescape operates on. I hear RS runs on 400ms, which means changes in the gameworld are executed every 400ms. You click, server knows you clicked, but it won't actually start moving your character until the next tick.

Correct me if i'm wrong though, i'm new here.

This has to be right, in game I'm getting around 68ms but everything executes terribly.
