PotCO is in a bad shape...

Since you are a guest, xdj, I assume you wouldn't have seen the troves of related topics that have come up over the years.... So I won't point that out. I do agree with a few points that have come up in this thread, though, which I haven't so much in other threads like this. The graphics are more sub-par than they were in the start, and the System Requirements have slowly climbed up, as well. How does that happen? :P

The lag is also ridiculous. I can play POTBS (renowned for lag) with no lag. I can play Call of Duty: Black Ops on my PC with no problems on just about max settings. WHY, then, can I not pass by a group of people or loot Darkhart or Foulberto on a not too crowded server without lagging or turning down my quality? A real point of improvement, there.

In short, the quality has actually DEcreased over time, which is the opposite of the normal, and the lag and system requirements are really huge for a game of this quality. However, the features ain't bad, and it still remains fun (though it lacks nostalgia). I'd give Disney a chiding, but they seem to be pushing their relatively mediocre engine for all it has. They want to build a huge, successful MMO on a free engine... Does that sound like an easy thing to do to you guys? :P
