Overnight a number of the MMO news sites reported that two potential fixes for lag in LotRO have been identified and that fixes for these are in the works.
Many read something similar to this.
Rob Ciccolini announced this on Twitter Friday, saying that, Found two sources of big lag in LOTRO, work to squash those and get them into the game.

Glossing over how these sites gather news. I was disappointed these sites are not actually citing a web-page, forum post, or anything beyond "facebook post" and "twitter post" neither of which I could not find. I checked out the LotRO forums and didn't see anything about these.

Is this old news being recycled, is this new news no one on the LotRO forums know nothing about, is this fake news?

More importantly if it is true, is it coming to DDO.

Whether they come to DDO or not would depend on whether or not DDO has the same sources of lag. Lag can come from many, MANY places in a game, and the fact that they fix something in one game doesn't mean that the fix is transferable to another.

Because every game on the planet runs a bit differently, has different mechanics, different graphics, different databases, etc, they all hit different snags. In fact, the only thing every game in the world has in common is that they are all different. You couldn't, for instance, take a lag fix from Guild Wars 2 and apply it to Final Fantasy XIV like a bandaid, because the 2 systems are so dramatically different that one database would not understand the other.

Despite the fact that SSG develops both DDO and LOTRO, the same statement applies: they are very different games that work on different databases and underlying architecture. Are there overlaps because the same devs work on both games? Most assuredly. But does that mean that every fix for DDO could be applied to LOTRO or vice versa? Unfortunately not.
