I don't think anyone has said this was Verant's fault. I think we all
realize that anytime you have a large number of people someplace it is going
to zone. It is kindof amazing to realize that there are 200+ people in one
zone though. I don't think people expected to see that many in one zone.
Hopefully the lag will die down some as the novelty of the new features
start to fade. Who knows though, maybe they might have to make a bazaar2.
Until then, some of us with really pathetic 'net connections will have to
wait until the fervor dies down.
And nah. You're not going to get flamed. You're just stating the facts. :-)
