Which lags more

Jazendar · Post by **Jazendar** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 6:00 pm

My guess would be EQ2, but i'm posting to be sure.

EQ, or WoW, for those of you who have tried both or know off the top of their heads. Thanks.

Do you mean video lag or server lag? For video lag that is obvious. For server lag, wait 2 months and then we'll know.

video lag EQ2 unless you have a great system or turn the options down. Server lag, WOW takes the cake. WoW has lag that makes SWG laugh a year ago.

WoW's lag problem is temporarily solved...

Servers down?

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 3:34 am

No, I said that in all seriousness.

You now have a 5 minute wait or so (most I've had was approx 8 minutes) if your "realm is full".

I believe this to be temporary, but since then I've experienced 0 lag.

EQ lags all the time, it's the nature of the insane graphics.

The question is, are they worth it?

I say no.

Watch that and you'll probably agree with me.

that was fucking dramatic

Hehe Naginataka has to lie to get people to play his game.

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 6:21 am

After seeing that I don't agree.

EQ2 didn't lag for me and ran quite smooth. WoW runs smooth as well of course, but isn't nearly as impressive visually.

That video has nothing to do with "if it's worth it" because it doesn't show you how EQ2 looks, or compare anything at all really.

Just a heads up, everything EQ2 vs WOW I'm going to move here.

So you are saying that EQ has no video lag but does have server lag and that WOW has video lag but no server lag?

Since that statement is the opposite of the truth, which is what I posted.

I have had little to no server lag on EQ2 at all. Since WOW open beta all you hear about is how the lag is SWg all over again.

No, that is not what I fucking said fagman. EQ2 server lag was horrible during beta with not even half as many people playing. WoW beta server lag (except my server) is horrible with 250,000-500,000 people playing.

If we're talking video lag then it's not even comparable. EQ2 has better graphics but you need a much better machine to run it.

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 7:53 pm

Noone I know got EQ2 server lag at all.

So, now you are saying you agree with my original post 100%?

Well thought out and well reasoned.

btw, the number of people playing is irrelevent. You need to talk about the number of people per server, not the total number of people.

There was a week in beta after they patched in mid october where the lag was bad. Took them 5 or 6 days to fix it.

That's hilarious

Now that is complete bullshit. What'd you play? 20 minutes?

I had very little lag in EQ2 beta, and I played a lot more than you did.

WOW closed beta had a hell of a lot less people than EQ2 closed beta. Wow open beta had worse lag than a Bush speech.

Tacks · Post by **Tacks** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 7:13 am

20 minutes? I was level 12 in 2 days so no I didn't play for 20 minutes. WoW closed beta had 30,000 people Lyion so once again you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

WOW had LESS people on their closed beta servers than EQ2. I know, I was there. You played horde, with less fucking people than were in two EQ2 zones, and you fuckin' know it. I had a 40+ WOW char, and WOW had the same lag as EQ2 in closed beta. Almost none. There were over 6k people on the EQ2 beta server I was on often. During closed beta when I was online, the WOW beta never had 3k on a single server. Never.

You played TWO days of EQ2. I played several weeks. Unlike Nagi and you, I'm not a biased fanbois, and I have no qualms admitting the problems of both games.

EQ2 has issues, but lag is rarely one of them.

Tacks · Post by **Tacks** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 7:38 am

No, I played TWO days with ONE character. Again, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, if anything, you're the fanboy.

Post by **Lyion** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 8:03 am

Yes, I support a game and bullshit about it like I fucking own stock in it

Oh wait, thats you.

Tacks · Post by **Tacks** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 8:29 am

I complain about it as much as the next guy but when people don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about then I point it out to them. We don't even have the game ordered yet.

Post by **Lyion** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 8:41 am

No, you exaggerate. Perhaps its in response to Nags fanboism, which is understandable.

Nobody I know and played with in Beta had bad lag in EQ2. If you did, I believe it was not server, but your PC, most likely, or you hit a peak period, perhaps.

I played a lot more EQ2 beta than you.

I have almost no lag in EQ2 after playing the game retail for the last 9 days.
