times as long, if they had 3 times as many servers so there would be no more
than 500 players on each server at peak hours.. I hate the standing in line
for a camp shit, what's the adventure about that? Although new zones are
coming and the update that is due in march will HOPEFULLY boost this game to
new levels, I am hoping for an entirely new continent, a few new
races/classes, perhaps a better graphics engine, enhanced quest system etc
etc, and a bundle of new features, perhaps even mounts for traveling etc..
They have alot of time to work on this upgrade and since they aren't doing a
really great job at keeping the running game up to date I pray that they are
spending all efforts on the upgrade.. We shall wait and see.. Meanwhile I am
going to play my character slow and easy like I have from the start, I might
not reach level 50 until it's time for the upgrade but all the better, I
won't be bored with the game too soon.. :)
