For as good as the game looks I don't see a problem with that.

Now when you start skipping frames leveling by yourself in Vanguard you really want to take a bat to your 'mean-machine'.
Aye, I am. I run EQ2 on the setting just below Extreme, which is High or Very High. Can't remember at the moment.

My machine is a year younger than EQ2 and it runs like shit on Balanced in most parts of freeport.
Ehh if you are the kind of person who bitches about a few seconds of freezing in an MMO world, you shouldn't be playing MMOs. Sure, i'd like it alot better if those 2 seconds of lag did not happen, but i'm not exactly going to lose sleep and pull my hair out over it.

And besides, i'm not that negative of a person. I don't have 2 seconds of lag, and then proceed to bitch about how the game thats older than my computer should run better, or claim that I need to go into the future to find a box that can run it. The smoothness of everything else makes up for it i'd say.

I mean come on, it's 2 seconds. You're acting like those asshole parents, who when their child brings them a report card with 7 A's and a C, you proceed to rail them for getting a C rather than notice they got 7 A's. =P Negative Nancy.
