PiratesOnline has to be sure there is no lag for those with super-duper graphics cards and high-speed interent. When I scroll over my little interent connections thing, it says under speed, usually over 50 Mbps. Now that's fast. I also have a great graphics card - ATi Mobility Radeon 9700. Still, the lag is killer (I mean killer - I sometimes get killed by even sergeants because I can't see a thing). If there is lag when the game goes live, after about three months there will be a huge drop out of players. Maybe that's why they gave us a two month break after Beta 1 - to let us calm down and not be screaming at our computers the whole time. (Yes, I scream at my computer when I hear a jail cell door slam and I still see a sergeant with his mouth open like he's waiting for me to feed him his slice of cake.)
