Subject: RE: [EverQuest] Game loading faster

My computer takes about 5-7 minutes to load from the char select screen. I have 1gb ram, with an amd processor ( running win 2000 ) lol i was cheap, but it works. However I am on dialup, as there isnt anything faster or better in my area yet, tho i hear wi-fi is coming so....<crossing fingers>. The huige wait tho, sometimes longer than the actual loading, is zoning into PoK. It is is horribley long wait...worse if the character i want to play is camped there...so until there is a change..I seldom go there now ort camp there. I have a pocket cleric and chanter to temp/ virtue and kei, me in nexus, so al is good.

Tho I do have an issue with PoK..am I the only one that has to run around PoK loking at their feet and suing the map so not to run into stuff? The lag there, most times ( early morn seems to be best) is very bad...

Dang Su, what's the stats on your PC? I think mine takes about 5 minutes to load. Here's what I have... eMachines W3050 Wal*Mart special (Hey, it was cheap and I needed something bad) 2Ghz AMD processor 2GB Ram (upgraded from 512) 80GB HD 10GB HD (Added) I have the OS (WinXP Pro, it came with Home) loaded on the 10GB drive and the 80 GB drive partitioned off with a 5GB partition dedicated as a swap or paging file. Granted this probably helps me load faster but can be a real headache to configure for the average computer user who doesn't want to mess with all that. Also when was the last time you defragged? That could help some.
