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.)
OFF TOPIC:
my favorite part in that is the screaming at the computer...I (kinda) do that with ToonTown because when i've been playing it for about 30 minutes it just starts freezing up.

and i see what you mean.
