Google Lotro devs address lag and see how many hits you get from players. You can also find where the developers of this game have mentioned lag issues in the past, and in 2023, are supposedly going to improve the engine, which 'should' result in overall performance.
To answer your question, which server, Arkenstone. The zones in which I experience most of the lag is just after the starting zone and leading up to around level thirty. I don't remember off hand, Breland, and whatever comes after that. The Warden class is one where some of the lag is even more noticeable, due to their combo system, aka gambits. Class was irrelevant though, it's when abilities aren't firing after pressing a button, or anything pertaining to what is normal lag in a video game, notably MMO's.
Regarding your statement of not seeing the lag, it's irrelevant to others that are, including the developers of this game who have addressed the issue. Do you understand that, or are you one of those people that if I tell you the sky is blue, you're going to argue it? Fix the lag or this game will continue to be a subpar MMO, which has dated and terrible combat animations, decent gameplay, great background music, good class variety, beyond mundane leveling, but overall, it's the lag issue. Most people can live with this game's faults, but not the lag.
Edit: Just saw the post above mine about the Legacy servers, hypothetically, lets say there's some truth to that, that there isn't lag on those servers, but only on the rest. What kind of service is that from a company? If I'm trying to sell something to a customer, or trying to draw more customers into my store, I'm not going to put the best items for sale tucked away somewhere in the middle of the store, there's a reason when you walk into stores, there are displays or end caps filled with sales and more commonly used items, it's to try and attract more clientele.
