my second charactor can't catch up with the one that follows!

I think ZUB hit it on the head. The background instance is FPS limited and causing the character to fall behind. This used to happen alot in Shat during peak hours. The slaves couldn't update fast enough with FPS set really low. Losing follow happened alot then.

I am guessing the OP needs to limit the foreground FPS a little more so he can raise the background up enough to keep pace.

This also may depend on what kind of system the OP is running.

So if you reverse this, where the first character is following. Does the first character keep on running into the second character slowing down and then resuming. Almost like they have the carrot and the stick trinket, or high speed mount or something?

if you have both characters race each other, numlock down 3...2...1 and you watch them. Does one or the other teleport a bit and then catch up from time to time? I would think you need to reduce your graphic settings to the right most position and see if that helps.

I definitely see this (where the slaves will stop following) with flying mounts and crusader aura if the paladin is leading / being followed until i got a crazy system.
