I am new to the forums, but not to beta testing online games. I am actually shocked that there is talk of it going live anytime soon. Do not mistake this as a bashing. There are many aspects of this game I am looking forward to once they are flushed out.

I do not have a high end PC anymore, but still can pull down constant 60fps in WOW, Guild Wars, DAoC, BF2 and CS:Source. (And looking at the rig from above wildtaz should have 0 issues with framerates). WoW in a battlefield with 60 plus folks going at in on the screen no less. The pipe or the hops should be a non-issue for well written net code, which appears to be the culprit. As argued further above, with only 60 or so folks on a night, spread across to game worlds, that shouldn't tax it a current high end system. I can run a 32 player BF2 server on my rig and DSL connection sans issues.

And since this all speculation, maybe the devs are coding on the server directly... Someday we will all run RAM Disks and Fiber to the house...

Well all this springs from Disneys online own announcement that it wud release late spring.

On game estimates, they usually get pushed back, and online ones even more so.

Who knows when it will come out.

On the fps part, I have Pentium D915 dual core, 1.5gig of ram and 256meg geforce 7600gs, and i get average of 30fps, when its not lagging, whcih TBH is most of the time.

But im sure that they using limited server capibility, and once they crank them all up, it will get better.

Unlike their sister game TT, this is not unique enough, to not take seriously, the competition is out there.

With similiar games, and if they want to take some of the market share, they will have to get this working well, and they will take as much time as they need, regardless of what they may tell the press to keep them off their backs.

yes, before this game opens, they'll need to fix the bugs first.

yes, when they buy a bigger server, the game will go more smoothly

So, we'll just wait lol.
