I had very little lag in Commonlands, in my 15 levels there. My worst lag was in Qeynos Harbor, and I got rid of it by modifying my graphics options.

Right now in retail I have zero lag in Commonlands or Antonica.

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.



You obviously missed the stress test ^_^
Antonica and Commons were virtually unplayable for a week. it slowly got better each patch after that.



But so far in retail, the game has been running like a champ.

Zactly Kill. My statement was Closed Beta.

The fact stress servers were pounded makes sense. It is a stress test.

No, I didn't play during the WOW or EQ2 Stress tests. I played Closed Beta and my opinions reflect that.

I have had almost no lag problems in EQ2. The only time I lag is when I get happy and start cranking up Graphic Options. Then it slows down like a born again prude on Prom Night.

Neither game had server lag during closed beta.

EQ2 has more advanced graphics and tend to give people more video lag because of this.

WoW's graphics aren't as hardware intensive and because of this, video lag is rare.

Both games had server lag during stress tests.


What about this is there to argue?

It helps to pass the work day, and we are both stubborn fuckers?

That's hilarious


Way to make your point, cut out the rest of the line so that the statement appears to be silly.

Have you ever been right on theese boards?

Seriously, just wondering. I know being wrong over and over again can make a person bitter.
