Strange Lag / Mapserver Warning Only After AFK Flag Pops Up

[Mythical Creature]

I have a strange lag/mapserver warning issue whenever the afk flag pops up and it seems when I ask in game nobody else has this problem. I don't generally experience much lag at all in game otherwise, but any time the afk flag pops up, the entire world will freeze and it will take 10-20 seconds to snap back to real time when I try to move my character. Since it only seems to pop up when my afk flag shows up above my head I wonder if there isn't some setting I have that is triggering this lag? It is almost as if the game goes into low energy mode or something when the afk flag pops up. I wonder if it is possibly something I need to change on my computer settings, or if there is a way to disable this in the settings for the game? Does anyone else experience this issue, what can I do to make this stop happening? Thanks in advance.
