I've never experienced the transportation issue in 1.8.9 so yeah...

If your ping is low enough there is no problem.
But there are others with higher pings caused by the speed of light being limited.

Explanation:
All signal have to travel either through copper wires or fibre optic cables (first speed ~2/3c, second speed ~c - c is the speed of light in vacuum).
If your distance to the server is not that long, you nearly have no lag.
Others (eg Europeans as me) have a minimum ping of ~100ms just caused by the time signals need to travel from here across the Atlantic Ocean - and then back again.
You may try the calculation by yourself: Get the GPS-coordinates and add up the degrees between both places (IP-track of play.wynncraft.com: (45.504) / (-73.5747)).
360° ~ 40,000km -> d [km] = 40,000*n[°]/360
t ~ d/300,000 (for all smartypants it's 299,792.458)
combining those gives you: t ~ n/2700 (half of ping in seconds -> for ms use 2.7)
T (real ping) = 2*t
eg for me: n = 83° -> T = 83/1.35 ~ 61ms (for direct path with best speed - *1.5 gives you a value nearer to reality -> ~90ms)

I got stuck on the Fallback four times this morning, for about 10 minutes each.

These last few days have revealed some new devastating bugs to watch out for.
EXTREME

The dreaded skill point bug returns, with the added chance of your items not dropping on the floor!
Description: When logging onto a class, sometimes any accessories and armour pieces with skill point requirements will pop out of their slots. They will fill open slots in your inventory, but if your inventory is full, the items drop of the ground around you so you can pick them up.
Issue: When this bug occurs, items are sometimes not dropping as intended when the player's inventory is full, deleting the items from existence.
Explanation: We believe this bug occurs due to the server loading the player's inventory before skill points, so the server thinks you aren't meeting the items skill point requirements, and pops it off. The reason they are not dropping as intended is unknown, and so is the cause. The staff are currently looking into this.
Solution: There is no way to avoid the bug completely, but you can prevent item loss by always leaving enough slots open in your inventory to hold all the items that could possibly pop off when you log off. (At max, 8 open slots)

Description: When using a teleportation scroll, it uses multiple soul points, the highest recorded case being three soul points from one scroll.
Issue: Losing multiple soul points when teleporting with low soul points means the game won't stop you from being teleported, but you will lose enough soul points to die, drop your items, and be teleported. Meaning your items would end up in one town and you would be in the other.
Explanation: We have know idea what causes this bug to occur as of now.
Solution: There is no way to avoid the bug from happening, so to keep yourself safe, have four or more soul points remaining when using teleportation scrolls.

ANNOYING

Description: When joining the server, instead of being taken to the normal lobbies, you might be taken to a "Fallback Server" (dubbed by the friend list's display of [Fallback]) which acts like the lobby, but with a few features disabled.
Issue: The player can not join any servers while in this fallback server, and cannot switch lobbies due to the player not being spawned with the lobby selector in their inventory, and /hub, /lobby, and /server being disabled, telling the player to "Look at the server log for more information." Relogging does not take the player to a different lobby.
Explanation: Currently, there is no explanation as to what causes this, especially due to the fact that the first appearance of the "Fallback Server" was only earlier this week.
Solution: If you log off and wait around five minutes or longer, the server will attempt to send the player to a new lobby rather than the fallback server upon the next login. You may still end up in the fallback server, in which case you should log off and wait a bit longer.

Description: When riding a horse or boat, the game dismounts you somewhere different from what the player sees on their client.
Issue: This can teleport the player to a completely different location, such as where they left from, or even into walls. Reports have even recorded leaving one city, reaching another, dismounting, and being teleported back to the first city.
Explanation: When you ride on the horse or boat, the server doesn't update your location, but you client allows you to move. When you dismount, the server thinks you are in two spots at once, and goes "Something is terribly wrong!" and teleports you back to your original location to avoid further issues.
Solution: The only way to avoid this is to not use horses or boats. However, bugs involving horses and boats seem to occur more often in Minecraft 1.9, so using 1.8 may limit the occurrences of these bugs.

CRASHES

Description: The client crashes upon the Ninja's Shadow Clone spell ending.
Issue: This renders Shadow Close essentially useless.
Explanation: We currently have no information on why this occurs, and it only occurs with Ninja, not Assassin.
Solution: There is no way to avoid the bug other than not using Shadow Clone, unfortunately.

Being timed out or "serialized" from the server randomly, while playing the game or even afking. Multiple cases have been reported, and there is no known cause or way to avoid the crashes.

Wait... take a look at @Magical Lemon 's signature... apparently Salted went through with the nerf, just instead of 50% on both of the classes he made it 100% on one of the classes!
