The linkdead thing needs to go in. People aren't going linkdead because of network issues, they are going linkdead because they CTD which happens all the damn time. In any case, a group message is needed.

I would prefer that mobs don't leash at all, but that's just me. BTW healers and casters can take 3-4 even level 2 dots at the same time (at least my druid and BloodMage can in the mid 20s) without breaking a sweat. To say that any other class would be dead with 2 even level 2 dots isn't quite right.

I agree about the travel time. It is excessive. Maybe on a high pop server it doesn't matter because people are everywhere, but on my low pop server you can be in Trengal keep without a single tank nearby while 2 are LFG in CIS. It's lame. Pretty much everyone in the 20s is in CIS while the other dungeons will go completely unused because of the travel time to them. Low population with ridiculous travel times just makes it so there will be only one used dungeon for each level range. As much as the designers wish this could be like EQ in 1999, that kind of travel time will never be acceptable in an MMO these days IMO.

I enjoyed this game. Got a druid and a Blood Mage to the mid 20s, but I'm not playing past the free month. I also really loved diplomacy, but it basically stopped when I hit level 60. The bugs and hitching drive me nuts. Maybe when things get a bit more fleshed out I'll resub. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
