eehh I should replace "MMO" with "EQ2" and fix this post, but I'd much rather point out the fact that EVERY other MMORPG of EQ2s age runs fine on very high settings in any part of their world on my computer whereas EQ2 runs like a piece of shit.
It's just a little bit about you computer and almost completly about mine.
Yeah that's ok with me, cause like I said before, the only lag I get is in the high populated Broker area, and it's only for a few SECONDS. Hell, there are times on WoW when i'll get a few seconds of lag. It happens. Did you play EQ1 at all? That tends to be where most of us got over the whole 'lag' issues. The only time you will hear me ever bitch about lag will be when i'm getting 30 seconds to a minute of consistent lag. Two seconds is hardly anything to cry about.

Why it runs so bad on your computer is anyone's guess. I wouldn't claim the game 'runs like a piece of shit' though. That's a pretty broad statement. If by 'the game' you mean everywhere in it, then i'm blaming your computer, not the graphical intensity of the game.

Again, i'm not as negative as a person as you clearly are. When i'm playing EQ2, I play EQ2. I try to think more on what i'm doing, where i'm going, and whether or not this game is fun more often than complaining to myself on how the game should run alot better based on the age of the game and the age of my computer. I'm going to do some math now, please do try to keep up.

Two Seconds of lag when near the Broker. I play EQ2 prolly for around 4-6 hours a sitting, depending on what day of the week it is. I probably visit the Broker around 2-3 times per session. For the sake of the math, lets take a 5 hour session, with 2 trips to the Broker. Out of the 18,000 seconds I was online, 4 of those were lag. If my math is correct, this means that .02% of the time I was online I was lagging.

Ask me again if i'm ok with lagging .02% of the time.

Fulorian - I thought I saw you the other day. Saw a zerker I think it was named Fulorian running around, but figured "no, that can't be Fulorian from EQ1", but I guess it was you after all.
