JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW.. I was a Chosen "Beta Tester" for the NON-PVP LoTR game... It has its moments.. but comes noting close to the smooth game play once experienced in the Beta WoW Relm.
Once WoW went to PVP as the main Base.. Their PVE enviroments SUCKED.. And it REALLY SUCKS NOW THAT PVP IS THE TOTAL GAME!!!! But Until the introduction of the Global VoIP...the game play stayed smooth!!
I still Prefer a Skype connection "in game" to "The Made For Raid Lagg **** They call VoIP!!"
Lagg.. will be the Major Factor For the Mass Exit to this game... They NEED MORE SERVERS!!! PVP, PVE, RP-PVP, RP-PVE, It does not matter.. Their Band Width is Choked!!! They are strangling themselves.. and not paying attention to the "Betas or Casual Users" That say NO PVP ON PVE!!!! We do not play for that "$^!t!!!!" So Listen To US!!!
But Do Not Worry Bliz.. As soon as we find a Compatable Game We Will Defect By The MILLIONS!!! So, Your 20M by 20012 Will = 500 CCasual Non-PVP players that did not Defect to "????" Like they did Everquest and Everquest2, DOC, FFXI ,.. And THe Host of other games that "Tried" to do the "Right" Thing.. Right "Now" You Rock.. But you Still Suck because you are so Narrow Minded to PVP!!
Cheers!!
